Overview
A glycolic peel is a chemical exfoliation treatment that refreshes the skin by removing dead surface cells. Over time, it supports collagen production, softens fine lines, and improves overall skin texture. By keeping pores free of buildup, it is especially helpful for skin prone to blackheads, whiteheads, and acne.
