Your frequently asked questions

What is the Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE®?

The Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE® is a chemical peel containing 20% salicylic acid, 2% glycolic acid, and 2% lactic acid. These ingredients work together to exfoliate the skin and improve brightness and texture. As a superficial cosmetic treatment, it removes the top layer of damaged skin to reveal a tighter, brighter, and more radiant complexion.

How many peels will I need?

The number of treatments required depends on your skin concern. A course of three peels is typically recommended for noticeable results and to address underlying skin conditions. For concerns such as acne, a course of three to six treatments may be advised. If you’re simply looking to refresh your skin or manage a breakout, a single peel can deliver instant glow.

What areas of the body can be treated?

The Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE® can be used on the face, neck, shoulders, and upper back.

Do I need to prepare my skin before treatment?

• Stop using active skincare products containing retinol, glycolic acid, AHAs, or bleaching agents for three days before treatment.
• If you have an impaired skin barrier, this will need to be restored before your peel. Your skin therapist can recommend appropriate medical-grade skincare.
• Avoid sunbeds and ensure you haven’t had sunburn within two weeks of your appointment.

Will I need to use aftercare products?

Yes. We recommend using a medical-grade moisturiser and SPF for at least seven days following treatment, although long-term use is encouraged to protect skin health. Obagi Hydrate and Obagi Sun Shield SPF are available to purchase in clinic or via our online store.

Are there any side effects?

The Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE® is formulated to be gentle, but mild redness and light peeling may occur as your skin renews and brightens.

Post-treatment steps

Use an SPF of at least 30 daily for a minimum of one week, avoid direct sun exposure for several days, treat the skin gently without exfoliating or picking, and avoid retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, and fragranced products during recovery.

Summary

The Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE® offers a fast, effective way to brighten and refresh the skin with minimal downtime. Whether you’re targeting breakouts, uneven texture, or dullness, this peel delivers visible results after just one treatment, with enhanced benefits from a short course.
