Treatment Overview
Aegyo Glow Peel is a gentle yet effective chemical peel treatment in Korea designed to enhance radiance, smoothness, and overall skin clarity. Using a customized blend of fruit acids (AHA), salicylic acid (BHA), lactic acid, and brightening agents like vitamin C or kojic acid, this peel helps remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells while stimulating renewal in the dermis.
Unlike harsh traditional peels, Aegyo Glow Peel is formulated for minimal downtime, making it suitable for patients who want to achieve the fresh, luminous “aegyo” look—a youthful, soft glow aligned with K-beauty ideals.
