Overview
Mandelic peel is a gentle yet effective chemical exfoliation treatment that uses mandelic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), to improve overall skin health and appearance. Known for its mild action, it is especially suitable for sensitive areas like the under-eyes. This peel works by removing dead skin cells, clearing clogged pores, and promoting skin renewal without causing significant irritation. It helps reduce dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone. With minimal downtime and visible results, mandelic peel is a popular option for those seeking brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.
Procedure steps
Step 1: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.
Step 2: The mandelic acid solution is carefully applied, avoiding sensitive areas such as the eyes and mouth.
Step 3: Sunscreen is applied to protect the treated skin and support recovery.
Ideal frequency
The treatment is recommended once every 3–4 weeks. For noticeable reduction in dark circles, 4–5 sessions are usually advised.

FAQs
Is the mandelic peel treatment painful?
Mandelic peel is generally a comfortable procedure. Most people tolerate it well because mandelic acid is gentle compared to stronger chemical peels. However, you may experience mild tingling, slight pricking, or a warm sensation during the application. These sensations are temporary and usually subside quickly once the treatment is completed.
When will I see results after the treatment?
You may notice an instant glow and brighter skin within 24–48 hours after the session. Improvements in skin texture, dark circles, acne, and pigmentation become more visible over the next few weeks. For best results, multiple sessions—usually 4–5 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart—are recommended.
Who should avoid mandelic peel treatment?
This treatment is not suitable for individuals with active skin infections, eye allergies, eczema, severe medical conditions, or those who have recently undergone surgery. People with body implants or ongoing medical treatments should also consult a qualified professional before undergoing the procedure. Always inform your skincare specialist about your medical history to ensure safety.
What precautions should be taken before and after the treatment?
Before treatment, avoid exfoliation, active skincare ingredients, makeup, and other chemical treatments for at least 48 hours to 15 days, as advised. After the peel, avoid sun exposure, exfoliants, tretinoin, waxing, makeup, and activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours. Regular use of sunscreen and moisturiser is essential to protect and support skin recovery.
How often should mandelic peel treatment be done?
Mandelic peel is typically recommended once every 3–4 weeks, depending on your skin type and concern. A series of 4–5 sessions is often advised for concerns like dark circles, acne, pigmentation, and uneven texture. Your skincare professional will recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your skin condition and goals.
