The Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE™ is a superficial-medium depth peel containing 20% Salicylic acid, 2& Lactic acid, and 2% Glycolic acid. It can help with various skin concerns, including fine lines, uneven skin tone, mild-moderate hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. It can also improve the quality and texture of the skin, and overall skin health. An initial course of 3-6 peels are generally required to achieve best results, and hydration, diet, lifestyle and skincare contribute to improving results and longevity. It is a relatively mild peel, often referred to as a "lunchtime peel" as it requires minimal downtime.
To complement the peel, we offer a range of Obagi medical-grade skincare products designed to protect and nourish your skin, and enhance the results of your in-clinic treatments. Using the right at-home skincare helps maintain the improvements achieved with the peel, and promotes and supports healthy skin regeneration.

The Benefits Of Chemical Peels
FAQs (Chemical Peels)
The peel is primarily designed for the face, but it can also be safely applied to the neck and décolletage. It targets concerns such as dullness, uneven skin tone, fine lines, sun damage, and mild hyperpigmentation.
Many clients notice an immediate improvement in brightness and a smoother skin texture within a few days. Full results continue to develop over 1–2 weeks as the skin naturally regenerates and reveals a healthier, more radiant appearance. A course of treatments is generally required for best results.
Results vary for each individual and depends on many factors, such as lifestyle and aftercare. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine, healthy eating and maintenance treatments can help enhance and prolong the benefits of in-clinic treatments.
Most patients experience only mild tingling, warmth, or a slight stinging sensation during the peel. The discomfort is generally very manageable and eases quickly once the peel is neutralised.
Side effects are usually minor and temporary. You may notice redness, light flaking, or peeling for a short time after treatment. In rare cases, mild irritation or increased skin sensitivity can occur, which typically resolves quickly with proper care.
Yes. The peel works to enhance your skin’s natural radiance, texture, and tone without changing your facial features. The result is a subtle, healthy-looking refresh that looks completely natural.
Downtime is minimal. Most clients return to normal activities immediately, though mild redness or light peeling may appear for a few days. Following aftercare instructions, including sun protection, helps ensure the best possible results and longevity.
