What is an Under Eye Peel?
An Under Eye Peel is a specialized chemical peel treatment designed for the delicate under-eye area to target:
- Dark circles
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation
- Under-eye dullness and tired appearance
It involves the use of mild chemical exfoliants that safely brighten and rejuvenate the skin under the eyes.
Common Ingredients Used:
Under-eye peels use gentle, low-concentration acids like:
- Lactic Acid – Hydrating and brightening
- Mandelic Acid – Anti-pigmentation, safe for sensitive skin
- TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) – Used in very low concentrations
- Retinoic Acid – Boosts collagen and reduces dark circles
- Kojic Acid / Arbutin – Targets melanin to lighten pigmentation
Key Benefits:
- Reduces dark circles and uneven tone
- Minimizes fine lines and crepey skin
- Stimulates collagen production
- Improves under-eye brightness and smoothness
- Makes eyes look fresher and more awake
Treatment Plan:
- Typically done in sessions (3–6 sessions), spaced 2–3 weeks apart
- Results become noticeable after 2–3 sessions
- Each session takes around 20–30 minutes
Is It Safe?
