Clay, acids and the marks breakouts leave
How a gentle peel lifts old marks without new irritation.

The flat brown or red marks a breakout leaves behind are not scars. They are colour left in the skin while it heals, and they fade on their own. A peel helps them fade faster and more evenly.
What the peel does
Our clay peel pairs a mineral clay with a low-strength acid. The acid loosens the top layer of dead cells, and the clay takes up oil and calms the skin while it works. Each session takes about 45 minutes.
Four sessions, two weeks apart, is the usual plan. Most marks look lighter after the second.
Before and after a session
Skip retinoids and scrubs for three days before. Afterwards the skin can feel tight for a day. Sunscreen matters more than usual for the next two weeks.
