Beta - Hydroxy Acid (BHA) Peels


Find Clinics offering Chemical Peels in London & UK »

Salicylic acid is the main ingredient contained within this variety of chemical peel. These peels are predominantly used upon those who have oilier or even acne prone skin due to the oil soluble property of this peel.  Thus they are able to penetrate into the pores and remove oil and sebum. Regardless if you have skin which is classified as normal, then you will generally receive better results with an AHA peel. This is because the molecules contained within BHA peels are usually larger than those within a AHA peel, hence the BHA peel does not penetrate as deeply within a non-oily skin environment.
