What is a chemical peel?

What is a chemical peel ?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to exfoliate the skin’s top layers. Over the following days, the treated skin peels off, revealing a smoother, more even-toned layer beneath. Depending on the type and depth of peel, results can include:

  • Smoother skin texture
  • Brighter complexion
  • Reduced acne and breakouts
  • Diminished signs of aging
  • Improved pigmentation and clarity

Peels vary in strength, from light exfoliation to deeper peels that stimulate collagen production and target stubborn concerns like acne scars or melasma.

After a chemical peel, the skin may be temporarily more sensitive to sunlight. We always recommend using broad-spectrum SPF and avoiding direct sun exposure during recovery.

Types of chemical peels we offer

Whether you're dealing with acne, aging, discoloration, or dullness, our range of chemical peels in Singapore allows for customized treatments tailored to your skin's unique needs. Each peel is administered by trained professionals who assess your skin to ensure safety and optimal results.

Reduced Acne and Breakouts

Cutis Clarifying Peel

Skin Exfoliation Peel

Purpose: Deeply exfoliates, reduces breakouts, and controls oil
Key ingredient: Salicylic Acid (BHA)
ideal for: Oily, acne-prone skin, post-acne marks, clogged pores

What it does:
This light peel uses salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid known for its oil-soluble properties. It penetrates deep into pores to break down excess sebum, dead skin cells, and debris. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, making it highly effective for managing active breakouts and preventing future acne flare-ups.

Benefits of Cutis Clarifying Peel

  • Reduces inflammation and active acne
  • Diminishes early post-acne marks
  • Helps regulate oil production

Anti-Aging Peel

Cutis Anti-Aging Peel

Cutis Anti-Aging Peel

Purpose: Smooths fine lines, improves texture, and brightens skin
Key ingredient: Glycolic Acid (AHA)
Ideal for: Dull, aging, or rough-textured skin

What it does:
This gentle peel exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin to accelerate cell turnover and stimulate collagen production. It helps reduce the appearance of early aging signs and enhances skin radiance. Glycolic acid also improves the absorption of skincare products used post-peel.

Benefits of Cutis Anti-Aging Peel

  • Reduces fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Brightens and evens out skin tone
