Yesterday at my best friend’s birthday lunch — amidst a delicious multi-course meal — I had a moment of clarity: a Skindepth Skin Peel is a bit like a fine dining experience… just for your skin.

And no, I’m not talking about citrus garnishes — although fruit acids do play a starring role!

Set the Scene – Skin Prep Like a Pro

Much like any good meal, the experience starts with ambiance. At Skindepth Dermatology, we prep your skin in a relaxing, mindful setting. Think soft tunes, calming scents, and lemon-infused filtered water to hydrate you from the inside out.

Phones go away. Mindfulness sets in. The skin care journey begins.

Entrée: A Double Cleanse for the Skin Palette

We begin with a luxurious double cleanse using a rose floral water cleansing emulsion. This step clears away impurities, makeup, and surface buildup — prepping the skin for deeper nourishment, just like an entrée whets the appetite.

Main Course: The Power of Lactic Acid

The hero of the peel? A gentle fruit acid application, typically lactic acid, which revives dull, tired skin by exfoliating dead cells and encouraging cell turnover. Lactic acid, derived from fermented milk, brightens the complexion and refines skin texture.

For acne-prone skin, we tailor the treatment to avoid dairy-based ingredients and instead use options that help clear congestion and minimise breakouts — like salicylic acid peels.

A Boost of LED Light – Like a Fine Wine Pairing

After the main course, we add LED light therapy to enhance the peel’s effects and stimulate collagen production. This rejuvenating light gives your skin that post-treatment glow — more luminous than the glass of red wine at my lunch!

Dessert: The K-Ceutic Finish

We complete your Skindepth Peel experience with an application of K-Ceutic, a nourishing post-peel cream packed with Vitamin C and K Complex. It calms, protects, and deeply hydrates. And if you're still thinking antioxidants, opt for raspberries in your real-life dessert — a rich source of skin-loving Vitamin C.
