Understanding the treatment
What Is a
Chemical Peel?
A professional chemical peel uses a carefully selected acid formulation to remove accumulated dead skin cells and encourage healthy cellular renewal.
Dermedics 40% peels are available in glycolic, lactic and mandelic formulations. Each peel has different properties and may be selected according to your skin type, sensitivity and primary concerns.
Every treatment begins with a detailed skin consultation so the most appropriate peel strength, preparation and aftercare can be recommended.

Our Dermedics
Chemical Peels.
Explore three professional 40% formulations. Select a peel below to read the full treatment details.
01Dermedics Glycolic Peel 40%Brightening & Resurfacing
The Dermedics Glycolic Peel 40% is a professional-grade chemical peel designed to exfoliate the skin, encourage cellular renewal and reveal a brighter, smoother and more even-looking complexion.
Formulated with 40% glycolic acid, this treatment exfoliates the upper layers of the skin. It may be selected for dullness, uneven texture, superficial pigmentation, acne-prone skin and early signs of ageing.
Following a thorough consultation and preparation, the peel is carefully applied before being neutralised and finished with soothing, hydrating skincare. Mild redness or light flaking may occur. Your practitioner will explain the expected recovery and whether a personalised course would be appropriate.
Concerns we can discuss:
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Superficial pigmentation and sun damage
- Congested and acne-prone skin
- Enlarged pores and overall skin clarity
02Dermedics Lactic Peel 40%Hydrating & Revitalising
The Dermedics Lactic Peel 40% is designed to brighten, hydrate and revitalise the skin while improving the appearance of tone and texture.
Formulated with 40% lactic acid, the treatment exfoliates the skin’s surface. It may be considered for dry, dehydrated or mature skin, with sensitive skin requiring individual assessment.
The aim is a smoother, softer and more radiant-looking complexion while supporting the skin’s moisture balance. Following consultation, the peel is carefully applied, neutralised and completed with soothing, hydrating skincare. Recovery varies, and a personalised course may be recommended.
Concerns we can discuss:
- Dull and dehydrated skin
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Mild pigmentation and sun damage
- Dry, rough or flaky skin
- Overall skin brightness and hydration
03Dermedics Mandelic Peel 40%Clarifying & Balancing
The Dermedics Mandelic Peel 40% is a professional chemical peel designed to exfoliate, brighten and clarify the skin.
Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that penetrates more slowly than glycolic acid. This formulation may be considered for concerns about texture, congestion, pigmentation and visible signs of ageing.
Oily, blemish-prone, sensitive or darker skin tones may be considered following professional assessment. Rosacea-prone or currently irritated skin needs particular care rather than an assumption of suitability.
Following consultation, the peel is carefully applied, neutralised and completed with calming, hydrating skincare. Your practitioner will explain possible skin responses, expected recovery and whether a course is appropriate.
Concerns we can discuss:
- Acne and blemish-prone skin
- Post-acne marks and pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged and congested pores
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Excess oil production
Your treatment journey
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
Every appointment is planned according to your skin type, concerns, sensitivity and selected formulation.
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and prepared before the selected peel is applied.
Peel Application
The formulation is applied for a controlled period while your skin is carefully monitored.
Neutralise & Soothe
The peel is neutralised before calming, hydrating and protective products are applied.
Consultation-led skin care
Your Skin Assessment.
Chemical peels must be selected according to your individual skin. Your consultation allows us to assess your skin type, sensitivity, current condition and primary concerns.
We will also review relevant medical history, current skincare, recent treatments and any factors that may affect your suitability or recovery.
Your practitioner will explain the recommended formulation, possible skin responses, downtime, aftercare and realistic outcomes before treatment.
Your consultation helps determine:
- Your skin type and current skin condition
- Your primary concerns and treatment goals
- The most appropriate acid formulation
- Whether skin preparation is required
- Your expected recovery and downtime
- A suitable treatment-course schedule
Personalised treatment selection
Which Peel Is Right for You?
Your practitioner will select the formulation according to your skin, sensitivity and concerns.
| Peel | Focus | Concerns to discuss |
|---|---|---|
| Glycolic 40% | Resurfacing | Dullness, congestion, uneven texture, superficial pigmentation, enlarged pores and early signs of ageing. |
| Lactic 40% | Hydrating | Dry, dehydrated or mature skin needing softness and hydration. Sensitivity requires assessment. |
| Mandelic 40% | Clarifying | Oily, blemish-prone or pigmentation-prone skin. Sensitive skin requires assessment. |
Important: The most suitable peel cannot be selected from skin concerns alone. Your complete skin condition, sensitivity, medical history and current skincare must also be assessed. Individual results vary and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
Protecting your results
Chemical Peel Aftercare.
Personalised instructions will be provided following treatment. General guidance may include the following.
Protect Your Skin
Use the recommended broad-spectrum sun protection and avoid unnecessary direct sun exposure while the skin is renewing.
Keep Skincare Gentle
Use gentle, hydrating skincare and avoid strong active ingredients until your practitioner advises that they can be reintroduced.
Do Not Pick or Exfoliate
Allow any dryness or light flaking to resolve naturally. Picking or exfoliating may irritate the skin and affect recovery.
Follow Your Treatment Plan
Attend recommended review or treatment appointments and contact the clinic if you experience an unexpected skin reaction.
Helpful treatment information
Your Questions,
Answered.
Our Kettering team can explain the differences and assess which option suits your skin.
01536 675112 ↗What is the difference between glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid?
Glycolic is the resurfacing option in this collection, considered for dullness, congestion and uneven texture. Lactic focuses on hydration and softness, while mandelic is the slower-penetrating, clarifying option for concerns such as blemishes and uneven-looking tone.
Your practitioner will assess your skin and sensitivity before recommending a formulation. A shared 40% concentration does not mean the three peels are interchangeable.
