Treatment Overview
DermaGlow Peel is a professional chemical peel treatment in Korea designed to target dullness, uneven texture, fine lines, and pigmentation while promoting deep skin renewal. This treatment uses a balanced blend of AHAs (glycolic and lactic acid), BHAs (salicylic acid), retinoic acid, and brightening agents such as vitamin C or kojic acid. The DermaGlow Peel works by gently exfoliating the skin’s surface while stimulating collagen renewal and cellular turnover, leaving skin radiant, smooth, and refreshed.
Unlike older, more aggressive peels, DermaGlow Peel is formulated with hydrating and soothing components, ensuring minimal downtime while delivering maximum glow. It is one of Korea’s most popular peel options for those seeking clear, healthy, and luminous skin.
