Frequently Asked Questions About the Medik8 Clarity Peel
01 How does the Medik8 Clarity Peel work?
The Clarity Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel with a pH of 2.2, clinically formulated with a time-release acid blend to target blemishes and congestion effectively while minimising irritation.
- 25% Mandelic Acid:
Acts as both an AHA and BHA, decongesting follicles to prevent breakouts. - 11% Glycolic Acid:
A small AHA that provides deep exfoliation for a fresh, smooth complexion and helps boost collagen production. - 11% Lactic Acid:
An AHA that exfoliates while helping to minimise melanin production. - 2% Salicylic Acid:
A BHA that penetrates subcutaneous pores to exfoliate inside the pore. - 1% LHA (Lipohydroxy Acid):
Offers antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-comedogenic benefits.
02 What does the treatment involve and how long does it take?
The entire treatment takes approximately 45-60 minutes. It includes:
- A thorough consultation to assess your skin.
- A double cleanse.
- Pre-peel preparation.
- The peel application itself (up to 10 minutes contact time).
- A calming neutralising step.
- A 15-minute Bio-Cellulose recovery mask.
- Finished with vitamin C serums and a physical SPF.
03Does the peel hurt or feel uncomfortable during application?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or light tingling, rather than pain. Here’s why – Medik8’s Time Release technology slows the absorption of the acids, making the experience far more tolerable than a traditional chemical peel.
- A gentle warmth or light prickling sensation is normal during the up to 10-minute contact time.
- Your therapist monitors your skin and comfort continuously, ready to neutralise the peel the moment any discomfort exceeds your tolerance.
- A cooling Bio-Cellulose recovery mask follows immediately afterwards to soothe, calm, and rebalance the skin.
04Are there any pre-peel requirements?
Yes, to ensure optimal results and safety:
- A patch test must be completed at least 24 hours before your first appointment.
- Clients must prep their skin with a Medik8 CSA homecare routine for a minimum of two weeks prior to the peel.
05Is the Clarity Peel suitable for all skin types and tones?
Yes, the Clarity Peel is suitable for a wide range of clients, although the starting protocol is carefully adjusted based on your Fitzpatrick skin type to keep things safe, comfortable, and effective.
- Fitzpatrick skin types 1-4:
May begin directly on any Medik8 peel, with contact time tailored from 1-10 minutes based on comfort. - Fitzpatrick skin types 5-6:
Will start on the Universal AHA peel first, with acid concentration progressed gradually over the course based on skin response.
Your therapist will assess your skin during consultation and recommend the right starting point for your unique complexion.
06Can the Clarity Peel be customised or made more advanced?
07How many treatments are recommended and what is the frequency?
A course of 6 treatments is recommended for best results:
- Fitzpatrick skin types 1-4: Every 10-14 days.
- Fitzpatrick skin types 5-6: Every 3-4 weeks.
08When will I start seeing results from the Clarity Peel?
Many clients notice a smoother, brighter complexion within days of their first session, though the full benefits build progressively across the recommended course of treatments.
- After session 1:
Skin typically feels softer and looks more refined, with existing blemishes beginning to settle. - Mid-course (around treatment 3):
Pores often appear visibly clearer and breakouts may reduce in frequency. - Post-course of 6:
A more even, clarified complexion with refined texture and a healthier-looking skin cycle.
Outcomes vary based on individual skin type, lifestyle factors, and adherence to your homecare routine.
09What is the recommended aftercare and homecare routine?
Proper aftercare is crucial for supporting your results and skin recovery:
- A Medik8 post-peel kit is essential for at least 3 days after each peel.
- Continue with your Medik8 CSA (Vitamin C, Sunscreen, Vitamin A) homecare routine.
- For your take-home Vitamin A, we recommend Crystal Retinal 3 or Bakuchiol Peptides.
10 Are there any contraindications for this peel?
Yes, the Medik8 Clarity Peel is not suitable if you have any of the following:
- Sunburn
- Warts in the treatment area
- Inflamed acne
- Active infections
- Pregnancy
- Immunosuppression
- Collagen vascular disease
- Aspirin allergy
