What an acne peel actually does

Acne is not a surface problem, which is why surface treatments keep failing. A medical-grade peel works on what is driving the breakouts underneath.

Acne affects millions of people and we understand how much it can affect confidence. At Dermamina we use EnerPeel salicylic acid skin peels, which are not simply medical-grade skincare but a medically licensed skin solution, approved for the treatment of comedogenic and inflammatory acne as well as resistant and mature-onset acne.

Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which is what makes it different from most acids used in peels. It can penetrate into the pore itself rather than working only on the skin's surface, clearing the congestion that forms the blockage before a breakout starts.

At the root of acne is hormonally sensitive skin losing its ability to regulate normal water loss through the skin barrier. Because the peel addresses the underlying process rather than individual spots, it treats the symptoms you can see and the ones that have not surfaced yet.

This is a course, not a single treatment

Depending on the severity of your acne, a course of three to six peels is normally required. Anyone offering to clear acne in one session is describing something other than what acne is.

We would rather tell you that at the start than sell you a single treatment and let you conclude it did not work. Your consultation includes an honest assessment of how many sessions your skin is likely to need.

What to expect during your treatment.

01

Consultation

Your skin is assessed properly first: the type and severity of acne, what has already been tried, your skincare routine and any medication. We use this to decide whether a peel is right and how many sessions to plan for.

02

Treatment

The peel solution is applied in a controlled way and left on for a carefully timed period. You will feel a mild tingling. The application itself takes around 10 minutes.

03

Aftercare

You can return to normal activities immediately. Sun protection is essential afterwards, and we will give you specific advice on what to use and what to pause in your routine while you complete the course.

Who is a suitable candidate?

Acne peels suit active breakouts and congestion.

You have active comedonal or inflammatory acne
Your skin is congested with blackheads and blocked pores
Over-the-counter products have stopped making a difference
You have adult or mature-onset acne
You can commit to a course rather than a single session
You are 18 or over

If your acne is severe enough to warrant prescription medical management, we will tell you and recommend you see a GP or dermatologist rather than starting a course of peels.

Questions, answered.

It is a medically licensed acne treatment that addresses the underlying causes of acne rather than individual spots, treats both visible and not-yet-visible symptoms, and is backed by clinical studies carried out by eminent dermatologists.

EnerPeel salicylic acid has received medical approval for the successful treatment of comedogenic and inflammatory acne as well as resistant and mature-onset acne. Because salicylic acid is oil-soluble it penetrates into the pore rather than working only on the surface.

Depending on the severity of your acne, a course of three to six peels is normally required. We will give you an honest estimate at consultation.

The fundamental cause is hormonally sensitive skin losing its capacity to regulate normal water loss through the skin barrier, which drives excess oil production and congestion.

No. You can return to normal activities immediately. Sun protection afterwards is essential.

You will feel a mild tingling or warmth during the application. Most patients find it entirely tolerable.

We use four Enerpeel formulations: Salicylic 30% for acne, Mandelic 40% for rosacea, Jessner for pigmentation and sun damage, and Pyruvic 50% for ageing and oil control. Your clinician will recommend one at consultation. A course of six is 10% off.

Look forward to the best version of you.
