Obagi Blue Radiance Peel

Priced from €120 for a single treatment or €350 for a course of 3

The Obagi Blue Radiance Peel is a professional-grade, superficial chemical peel formulated with salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the skin and reveal a clearer, more radiant complexion.

It helps to refine pores, smooth uneven texture, brighten dullness, and improve the appearance of blemishes and fine lines, all with minimal downtime.

Suitable for most skin types, including those new to peels, it’s an ideal choice for a gentle skin refresh before an event or seasonal reset.

The peel can be enjoyed as a standalone treatment for an instant glow or as part of a course of 3, spaced two to four weeks apart, for more transformative, long-lasting results.

FAQs

  • While the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel is a superficial peel with minimal downtime, some patients may experience mild redness, tightness, or light flaking for a few days post-treatment. This is completely normal and part of the skin’s renewal process.

    Most patients return to their regular routine the same day or the next, making it an ideal lunch-time peel or pre-event boost.

  • The Obagi Blue Radiance Peel is generally very well tolerated and not considered painful.

    Most patients describe a mild tingling, warmth, or a slight stinging sensation during the application, which typically subsides within a few minutes. The peel is quick and comfortable, with no need for numbing.

    Any post-treatment tightness or sensitivity is usually mild and short-lived.

    As always, your comfort is a priority, and I’ll guide you through every step to ensure a relaxing experience.

  • To ensure the best results from your Obagi Blue Radiance Peel, I recommend the following pre-treatment steps:

    • Avoid active skincare ingredients (like retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and benzoyl peroxide) for 5–7 days before your peel.

    • Pause exfoliating treatments, such as at-home scrubs, dermaplaning, or other peels, at least one week before.

    • Avoid waxing, threading, or laser treatments in the treatment area for 7–10 days beforehand.

    • Limit sun exposure and avoid sunburn or tanning in the week leading up to your appointment.

    • Ensure your skin is in a calm, healthy state, no open wounds, active cold sores, or irritation.

    • Come to your appointment with a clean face, no makeup, SPF, or heavy skincare.

    For best results, we can also discuss a pre-conditioning skincare routine (especially if you're doing a course of peels) to strengthen and prepare your skin barrier.

  • To ensure optimal results and support your skin’s recovery, please follow these aftercare tips:

    • Hydrate generously, use a gentle, hydrating moisturiser to keep skin soothed and supported.

    • SPF is non-negotiable, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning, and reapply throughout the day. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun post-peel.

    • Avoid active ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or exfoliants) for at least 5–7 days, or until the skin feels fully settled.

    • Do not pick or peel any flaking skin, let it shed naturally to avoid irritation or pigmentation.

    • Avoid heat, steam, and sweat (hot showers, saunas, intense exercise) for 24–48 hours post-peel.

    • Keep your skincare simple and gentle, avoid fragranced products or anything that might cause stinging.

    • I recommend booking your next treatment in advance if you're following a course of peels for best results.
