The Vitamin A Infusion Peel works differently to a traditional chemical peel. Rather than removing the surface of the skin aggressively, it delivers a concentrated dose of retinaldehyde and supporting actives into the skin — stimulating the cellular processes that produce healthy, renewed skin from within.
The result is a treatment that works progressively, is well tolerated by most skin types, and requires no meaningful recovery time. For clients whose skin responds well, the formula can be progressed over time — incorporating additional actives to increase efficacy as the skin adapts.
WHAT IT IS
What is a vitamin A infusion peel?
A Vitamin A Infusion Peel is a professional skin treatment that delivers a high-dose concentration of retinaldehyde - one of the most active forms of vitamin A - into the skin. Unlike traditional chemical peels that work primarily through surface exfoliation, a vitamin A infusion works by stimulating cellular turnover, collagen production, and skin renewal from within. At Skin Ritual in Newmarket, Auckland, the treatment uses a 2.5% retinaldehyde formula and is priced at $259 per session.
WHO IT HELPS
The vitamin A peel effectively treats multiple skin concerns.
01
ACNE + BREAKOUTS
Vitamin A regulates oil production and normalises skin cell turnover, reducing congestion and breakouts.
03
POST-ACNE RED SCARS (PIE)
Actives work to reduce inflammation and promote cellular repair, fading red scars progressively over time.
05
DULL + CONGESTED SKIN
Cellular renewal restores radiance to flat, congested skin that has lost its vitality.
02
ROSACEA + REDNESS
Vitamin A strengthens skin, and actives in the peel work to reduce redness and inflammation.
04
POST-INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION (PIH)
Accelerated cell turnover fades post-inflammatory pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone over time.
06
UNEVEN TEXTURE
Progressive resurfacing refines skin texture and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
HOW IT WORKS
The science of vitamin A.
1
Skin assessment & cleanse
Your therapist assesses your skin at the start of your appointment. The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped to ensure even penetration of the vitamin A formula.
2
Infusion application
The 2.5% retinaldehyde formula is applied and worked into the skin. Unlike an acid peel, this is a massage-based application — the formula is actively driven into the skin rather than simply sitting on the surface.
3
Finish & aftercare
A calming serum and SPF are applied to complete the treatment. Your therapist will advise on post-treatment homecare before you leave — including any adjustments to your vitamin A homecare routine in the days following treatment.
4
Progressive remodelling
Over 6-12 months, juvenile collagen and elastin mature, resulting in tissue contraction (skin tightening), smoothing and plumping of the skin.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
What you can expect from the vitamin A 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.
Clearer skin
Regulated sebum production and normalised cell turnover reduce the frequency and severity of breakouts.
Reduced Redness
Redness and inflammation reduce over time as vitamin A induces skin renewal
Fading pigmentation
Accelerated cell renewal fades post-inflammatory pigmentation and sun damage over time.
Firmer skin
Retinaldehyde-stimulated collagen production progressively firms and plumps the skin.
Progressive improvement
Your skin will progressively improve through a course of treatments, typically we recommend 4+.
Smoother skin
Pore are less visible over time, and skin texture becomes smoother and more even.

Last year, my skin was at its worst; I had very inflamed, severe, hormonal cystic acne across my entire lower face. My skin was always my biggest insecurity. I decided I finally wanted to invest in getting treatments. I wanted to find a skin clinic that genuinely cared, who were gentle with my skin and had well-trained skin therapists.
I am so grateful for the key values Skin Ritual hold in terms of putting their clients' concerns first, taking a gentle approach, educating their clients, and using treatments that work.
I see the wonderful Kurlyn once every month, and I always look forward to my appointment. Kurlyn takes pride in her role and always takes such good care of me and my skin. I appreciate her friendly personality, professionalism and knowledge. She has done a wonderful job! My skin has transformed over the past year, and saving some money aside every month to put towards my treatments has been sooo worth it.
