WHAT IT IS
What is a chemical peel?
A custom chemical peel is a professional skin treatment in which a trained skin therapist selects and applies one or more chemical exfoliant formulas to the skin, based on an assessment of the client's skin type, condition, and concerns. At Skin Ritual in Newmarket, Auckland, custom chemical peels use a range of professional-grade formulas including TCA, lactic acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and retinol - applied individually or in combination depending on what the skin needs. Pricing starts from $199 per session.
WHO IT HELPS
Chemical peels can effectively treat a wide range of concerns.
01
ACNE + CONGESTION
Salicylic and mandelic acid peels decongest pores, reduce active breakouts, and control excess oil without stripping the skin barrier.
03
UNEVEN TEXTURE & PORES
Resurfacing progressively refines skin texture and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
05
SUN DAMAGE + PIGMENTATION
Lactic and TCA peels resurface the skin and fade pigmentation for a more even, clarified complexion.
02
POST-ACNE SCARRING
Accelerated cell turnover fades post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) over a course of treatment.
04
DULL, CONGESTED SKIN
Regular peels remove the build-up of dead skin cells that flatten the complexion, leaving you glowing.
06
FINE LINES + AGEING
Retinol and lactic acid peels stimulate cell renewal and collagen production, softening fine lines.
HOW IT WORKS
The science of chemical peels.
1
Skin assessment
Your therapist assesses your skin at the start of your appointment — reviewing your current condition, any concerns, and your previous peel history. This determines which formula or combination of formulas will be used.
2
Peel application
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped. Your selected formula is applied. Depending on your skin and the treatment plan, your therapist may apply different formulas to different zones of the face, or layer formulas to address multiple concerns in one pass.
3
Neutralisation & aftercare
The peel is neutralised and removed. A calming serum and SPF are applied to complete the treatment. Your therapist will advise on post-peel homecare before you leave.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
What can you expect from a chemical peel?
Results depend on skin type, skin concern, and consistency with your prescribed homecare. These are the outcomes most clients experience when they follow the skin therapist guidance.
Reduced fine lines
Retinol and TCA peels stimulate collagen production, visibly softening fine lines over a course of treatment.
Even skin tone
Post-inflammatory pigmentation and sun damage fade progressively over a course of treatment.
Brighter complexion
Dull, congested surface skin is removed - skin looks clearer and more radiant immediately after treatment.
Clearer skin
Congestion and active breakouts reduce as pores are decongested and skin cell turnover increases.
Progressive improvement
Results build with each treatment. A course of 3-6 peels is recommended for lasting improvement.
Smoother skin
Resurfacing refines skin texture and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.

I can't recommend Skin Ritual more. Came here with a sensitive, barrier impaired, acne prone skin, and after 3 treatments and the skincare recommended, my skin feels so much better. I finally feel confident enough to go out with minimal make up (after almos 20 years of make up everyday). It is the best investment I did in a long time and I will always rave about them !
