Reveal Smoother, Brighter, Youthful-Looking Skin
If your skin feels dull, uneven, or lined, our Retinol Peel at Dollface delivers powerful rejuvenation with minimal effort. This vitamin A–based peel gently penetrates the skin to target fine lines, discoloration, and rough texture, revealing smoother, more luminous skin over the following days.
Unlike traditional peels that focus on surface exfoliation, the Retinol Peel works deep within the skin to stimulate collagen production, even skin tone, and accelerate cell turnover. It’s an excellent option for clients who want visible improvement in skin texture and radiance without harsh chemicals or long recovery time.
Why our Clients Love the Retinol Peel
The Retinol Peel is a powerful treatment that targets fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage while brightening and evening out skin tone. By encouraging natural cell renewal, it delivers long-lasting improvements in texture, firmness, and radiance. This peel boosts collagen production to reveal smoother, plumper skin and is suitable for all skin types and tones.
Following treatment, you can expect gentle shedding around three to five days later as old, damaged cells naturally slough away, unveiling a fresh, youthful complexion beneath.
The Retinol Peel is one of our signature interlinking facial treatments, blending advanced vitamin A technology with personalized care. It pairs beautifully with services like BioRePeel or Microneedling to reveal softer, smoother, more radiant skin.
Benefits of the Retinol Peel
Because retinol promotes long-term skin renewal, your results continue to improve for several weeks post-treatment. Many clients schedule seasonal peels to maintain that refreshed, luminous look all year long.
The Power of Retinol for Skin Renewal
Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is one of the most effective ingredients for reversing visible signs of aging. When used in a professional-strength peel, it encourages the skin to regenerate more rapidly, improving texture, reducing fine lines, and refining pores. During your treatment, the peel penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin while regulating pigment production. This process results in brighter, tighter, and healthier-looking skin over the following week, with continued improvement as new cells develop.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Consultation: Your esthetician evaluates your skin and discusses your goals.
- Cleansing: The skin is gently cleansed and prepped for treatment.
- Retinol Application: The vitamin A–based peel is applied evenly to the face and left on for a prescribed amount of time to penetrate deeply.
- Aftercare Instructions: Your esthetician will provide post-peel care guidance and a soothing serum to take home.
The treatment takes about 30 minutes and is painless, though you may notice mild warmth or tightness afterward. Over the next several days, your skin will lightly shed and renew itself, a sign that the peel is working effectively.
Retinol Peel vs. Traditional Chemical Peel
Both treatments rejuvenate the skin through exfoliation and cell renewal, but they work in distinct ways. Here’s how they compare:
Retinol Peel
Traditional Chemical Peel
If you’re seeking deep rejuvenation and anti-aging benefits, the Retinol Peel is the more targeted choice. For a gentler surface refresh or to treat acne-prone skin, a Chemical Peel might be recommended first. Many clients alternate both treatments to achieve comprehensive skin renewal.
Aftercare and Recovery
Following your peel, avoid makeup, exfoliants, and active ingredients (like retinol or acids) for at least 48 hours. Mild peeling or flaking will begin around day three and last several days. Keep your skin moisturized and protected with SPF to ensure even, healthy renewal.
