Overview

A no-downtime salicylic acid peel for brighter, smoother skin from the first session

The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is a professional-grade chemical peel combining 20% salicylic acid with glycolic and lactic acids. Together these exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin, clearing dead cells and impurities from pores, treating surface pigmentation and fine lines, and leaving the complexion noticeably brighter and smoother after just one session.

Because the Blue Radiance Peel works at a superficial level, there is no significant downtime: most patients return to normal activities immediately, earning it a reputation as the ideal lunchtime treatment. Results improve progressively with a course of sessions, making it well suited to a regular skin health maintenance programme.

Application is straightforward. The skin is cleansed, the peel solution applied in one or two layers depending on your skin's tolerance, then neutralised and removed. A broad-spectrum SPF 50 is applied at the end of the session to protect the freshly treated skin. The whole appointment typically takes around 30 minutes.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How is the Blue Radiance Peel different from the Obagi Blue Peel?

The Blue Radiance is a lighter, salicylic-acid-based peel with no significant downtime, suitable for regular maintenance and mild concerns. The Obagi Blue Peel uses TCA, penetrates more deeply, causes visible peeling over five to ten days and is better suited to deeper pigmentation, scarring and more established lines.

Is there any peeling or redness afterwards?

Most patients experience little to no visible peeling and only mild redness that settles within a few hours. This is why the treatment is often called a lunchtime peel.

How many sessions do I need?

A single session produces visible brightening. A course of three to six sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart, delivers more significant and lasting improvement. Many patients include it as part of a regular skincare programme.

Can I have the peel if I have sensitive skin?

A consultation will determine whether the Blue Radiance Peel is suitable for your skin type. If sensitivity is a concern, your clinician may recommend starting with a single layer and reviewing tolerance before building up.

What should I do about sun protection after the peel?

Sun protection is essential. We apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 at the end of your session and advise you to continue using it daily for at least a week, as freshly exfoliated skin is more susceptible to UV damage.

How much does the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel cost?

Pricing depends on the treatment and what is agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
