Mandeliclear Peel Benefits

Tone and Pigment

Softens the look of sun spots and diffuse discoloration. Reduces the appearance of post blemish marks and uneven tone so the face reads clearer on camera and in person.

Clarity and Breakouts

Helps calm recurring congestion and the look of enlarged pores. Supports fewer new surface breakouts when paired with a simple home routine.

Texture and Light

Smooths roughness so light reflects cleanly. Makeup sits better and daily skincare penetrates more evenly. Skin feels more consistent to the touch.

Typical Series

Most complete 3 to 4 sessions about four weeks apart. Once goals are met you can move to seasonal maintenance.

Who The Mandeliclear Peel Is For

Concerns
Uneven tone, melasma tendency assessed in clinic, lingering post blemish marks, dullness, and recurring congestion.
Skin Types
Balanced for many Fitzpatrick I to V with screening. Sensitive protocols are available if your barrier needs support.
Lifestyle
Low social downtime preferred. Comfortable pausing actives for a few days. Consistent daily SPF use.
Not Right Now
Active cold sores or open lesions, recent isotretinoin, fresh sunburn, recent waxing in the area, pregnancy or nursing unless cleared.

Unsure if this is right for your skin tone or history. Book a consult and we will screen candidacy and plan the safest path.

How The Peel Works

Mandelic acid leads the blend with support from alpha and beta hydroxy acids. Mandelic has a larger molecular size that allows a controlled and even approach that respects pigment prone skin. When appropriate a vitamin A booster can be layered in clinic to accelerate visible clarity.

  • Resurfaces dull surface cells for brighter tone
  • Unclogs pores to calm recurring congestion
  • Supports a more even look without aggressive downtime

What To Expect In Week One

Day 0

Skin feels clean and a little tight after treatment. Avoid heat, vigorous workouts, and scrubs that day. Follow the barrier first kit we provide.

Days 1 to 3

Light dryness or micro flaking is normal. Keep moisturizer and high zinc SPF consistent. Avoid picking and friction.

Days 4 to 7

Brighter tone shows as dull cells shed. You will receive approval for when to restart acids or retinoids if you use them.

Mandeliclear Peel FAQ

How many sessions do I need for visible change
Most complete 3 to 4 visits about four weeks apart. You will usually see a brighter look after the first week and more even tone across the series.
Will I peel a lot or miss work
Expect light dryness or micro flaking for a few days. Heavy peeling is uncommon and not required for results. Many return to work the next day with moisturizer and sunscreen.
Is the peel safe for pigment prone skin or skin of color
That is why we use a mandelic led approach and screen candidacy. We set strength and passes to respect your history and Fitzpatrick type. Home SPF is required every day.
Can I do this if I have active acne
Yes in many cases. We avoid open lesions and tailor the plan. The goal is calmer and clearer skin without aggressive irritation.
What products should I use at home between visits
Use a gentle cleanser, a barrier friendly moisturizer, and a high zinc sunscreen every day. Actives like retinoids and acids are paused and restarted when you receive the ok.
How long should I wait after injectables or devices
We schedule peels and procedures so the skin has time to settle. Your provider will set spacing based on what you have planned.
Can I exercise after the peel
Skip heavy workouts on the same day. You can resume light activity the next day if the skin feels comfortable.
When can I wear makeup
Many wear light makeup the next day. Choose non comedogenic options and remove gently at night.
How soon before an event should I book
Give yourself one to two weeks before key events. That allows flake to pass and for brightness to show.
What if I am on prescription skincare
Bring your regimen list. We will advise how to pause and restart items like tretinoin or compounded topicals to protect your barrier.
How is Mandeliclear different from a light lactic peel
Mandeliclear is chosen for pigment awareness and controlled resurfacing. A light lactic peel is softer and can be used for maintenance or very sensitive starters.
Can I combine this with pigment control at home
Yes. Many plans pair the peel series with a simple pigment control routine to hold even tone between visits.
