Acid peels can be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. One of the most common types of acid peels is the 30ml acid peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn acid peel 30ml is a type of chemical peel that contains a 10% concentration of acid. The acid used in this type of peel can vary, but some of the most commonly used acids include glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. These acids work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily removed from the surface of the skin. This process of exfoliation can help to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin and can also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the benefits of a 30ml acid peel is that it can be customised to suit the individual.

While facial scrubs have been a popular form of exfoliation for many years, there is now a growing recognition that chemical exfoliants, such as glycolic acid, are a more effective and gentle alternative.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_1342067238p1\"\u003eFacial scrubs typically use physical abrasion, such as ground-up nuts, sugar or salt crystals to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. While this can be effective in the short term, over time it can lead to micro-tears in the skin, which can cause inflammation, irritation, and even infection. This is especially true for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_1342067238p1\"\u003eIn contrast, glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily sloughed off. This means that it penetrates deeper into the skin than a facial scrub can, targeting not just the surface layer but also the deeper layers of the epidermis. This results in a more thorough exfoliation and can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, breakouts, blemishes and hyperpigmentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_1342067238p1\"\u003eAnother advantage of glycolic acid is that it is gentle enough to be used on most skin types. Unlike physical exfoliants, which can cause irritation and redness, glycolic acid works by increasing the skin's natural cell turnover rate, which means that it is less likely to cause irritation or damage to the skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_1342067238p1\"\u003eFinally, glycolic acid has been shown to have other benefits for the skin, including improving hydration and stimulating collagen production.

New Formula - This is our new formula launched June 2022, please perform a patch test before using this product.

What is Glycolic Acid Peel ?
Also known as the ‘Lunchtime Peel’, chemical peels are perfect for those with busy schedules who still want to maintain their skin’s health and vitality.
Glycolic Acid is an Alpha hydroxy acid or AHA that works to increase cell turnover - something that slows down as we age. The dead skin on our face and body is held on by a glue-like substance, but glycolic acid helps to dissolve this glue which then causes the dead skin to simply fall off. This process reveals the new, younger skin underneath and gives you an instantly radiant complexion.
Embark on a radiant journey today and unveil the transformation your skin truly deserves – because it deserves nothing but the best.
How Does It Work?
How is this good for spots, blackheads and enlarged pores? The most common reason we get breakouts is when hair follicles get clogged by dead skin cells and sebum - the oil your skin naturally produces. Bacteria multiply within the clogged pores and so spots and blackheads form. By removing the dead skin cells you are also removing the grime and excess oil that's blocking up the pores and exposing fresh, healthy skin.
Most people report that with regular use of AHA products, their once very oily skin becomes more balanced, the less oil your skin produces, the less oil there is to get trapped.
Glycolic acid will also help to reduce the appearance of blemishes and discolouration left over from breakouts.
If you suffer with deep blackheads, use the glycolic acid in conjunction with our Salicylic Acid 2%.
If you have acne- Acne is a medical condition, while a good skincare routine is important and can help improve the condition of your skin, acne often requires medical treatment, a good skincare routine is important for acne prone skin and will support your treatment but will not treat acne.
Active Ingredients
Our formula is 70% aloe vera, achieved by using a highly concentrated aloe vera powder instead of traditional gel. This approach is more cost-effective and eco-friendly. Aloe vera powder is lighter and requires far less space for transport, significantly reducing the carbon footprint compared to the bulkier gel. Additionally, it has a longer shelf life and is easier to store, helping to minimize waste. Using powder allows for precise formulation, ensuring that each product contains a high concentration of aloe’s beneficial compounds, like antioxidants and enzymes, while supporting more sustainable practices in the production and distribution process
FAQ
How does it help with ageing skin?
The top dead layers of our skin are dull, dry and grey and don’t reflect the light, this makes us look older than we really are. By removing these dried out skin cells with glycolic acid, you will have a natural and beautiful glow, the appearance of fine lines, breakouts, blemishes and discolouration will reduce and your skin will just look so much healthier and more youthful.
Glycolic acid may also stimulate your skin to create more collagen, giving you a youthful and radiant appearance. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin and it plays a vital role in keeping your skin elastic and wrinkle-free. As we age, our collagen production decreases, which can lead to saggy, wrinkled skin. The Bravura London Glycolic Acid Peel can help reduce the appearance of premature ageing by encouraging your skin to produce more collagen. This stunning results will leave you with fresher, younger looking skin.
Using glycolic acid regularly means you are constantly renewing and regenerating the skin. As we age our skin can also get thinner, this can leave the skin looking uneven in tone, lacklustre and a little sallow, glycolic acid may help to thicken the skin which can help our skin appear more youthful.
No topical treatments can reverse deep scarring but the Glycolic Acid peels will help to make your skin smoother, and the indentations a little softer.
I’m pregnant or breastfeeding, can I use Glycolic Acid?
This is all down to personal choice. As we don't test on animals our products haven't been tested for safety during pregnancy but here are no safety concerns regarding the use of glycolic acid during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
