About this service

The Alpha-Beta Peel combines lactic acid (alpha-hydroxy) and salicylic acid (beta-hydroxy) into a single corrective treatment. It's the studio's go-to peel for combination skin, congestion, and oily-prone breakout patterns.

What makes the alpha-beta combination unique is that the two acids work in different parts of the skin: lactic acid exfoliates the surface and stimulates GAG production, while salicylic acid is lipid-soluble — meaning it can penetrate sebaceous material in the pores and clear them from the inside out. The result is exfoliation without harshness, irritation, or inflammation.

Available in 30/10% and 40/15% strengths at pH 1.2–1.6. Most clients experience little to no stinging, no visible peeling, and can return to their regular skincare the next day.

Featured ingredients — Lactic acid: tyrosinase inhibitor, increases GAGs and ceramides. Salicylic acid: lipophilic, penetrates pore lining, comedolytic action stronger than AHAs alone.
