Pyruvic Peel

When your skin feels congested, textured and prone to breakouts or stubborn marks, it can affect not just how you look but how you feel about your complexion. These common concerns (excess oil, blocked pores, rough texture and lingering post-blemish pigmentation) often persist despite diligent cleansing and moisturising because they require deeper, targeted renewal. At Skin Renewal, we focus on solutions that work beneath the surface to help restore balance and clarity to troubled skin. Our Pyruvic Peel is formulated to address these visible challenges by supporting deeper exfoliation, refining texture, and helping reduce congestion and pigmentation, revealing a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion.

The Pyruvic Peel is an advanced chemical exfoliation treatment designed to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage while targeting acne and hyperpigmentation. This peel stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten the skin, refine texture, and improve overall skin tone. It is clinically proven to treat inflammatory acne, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and actinic keratosis, making it a powerful solution for multiple skin concerns.

Key Ingredient in the Pyruvic Peel

Pyruvic Acid – A powerful α-keto acid with keratolytic, antimicrobial, and sebostatic properties that:

  • Stimulates the formation of collagen, glycoproteins, and elastic fibres.
  • Reduces the cohesion of epidermal corneocytes, preventing the formation of thickened, rough skin.
  • Helps unclog pores and minimise acne breakouts.
  • Provides gentle exfoliation without excessive irritation.

Benefits of the Pyruvic Peel

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother skin.
  • Improves sun-damaged skin and uneven tone.
  • Targets mild hyperpigmentation and age spots.
  • Stimulates collagen production, tightening and firming the skin.
  • Minimises enlarged pores and refines skin texture.
  • Reduces acne and blemishes, with proven efficacy in treating inflammatory acne.
  • Improves actinic keratosis and addresses early signs of sun-induced skin damage.

Who Can Benefit from the Pyruvic Peel?

This peel is suitable for individuals looking to address the following:

  • Signs of premature ageing (fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity)
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Acne and blemishes
  • Congestion and enlarged pores
  • Actinic keratosis and rough skin texture

Pyruvic Acid Peels are often recommended as an alternative to Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) peels, particularly for fair skin. They offer impressive results with minimal downtime.

The Power of Combination Treatments

At Skin Renewal, we optimise results by combining the Pyruvic Peel with advanced skin treatments to enhance exfoliation, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin clarity. A tailored approach ensures that multiple skin concerns are effectively treated in a single protocol.

frequently asked
questions

Is the Pyruvic peel available at all Skin Renewal branches?
How do you know which chemical peel is right for your skin?

The most suitable chemical peel depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals, whether that’s pigmentation, acne, fine lines, or dullness. A professional consultation allows your Skin Renewal doctor to assess your skin and recommend a peel strength and formulation that delivers results safely and effectively.

Can chemical peels be performed on sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes, certain chemical peels are specifically formulated for sensitive or compromised skin. These peels work gently to improve skin texture and tone while supporting the skin barrier. Your Skin Renewal doctor will tailor the treatment to minimise irritation and ensure your skin remains comfortable.

How many chemical peel treatments will you need to see results?

While some patients notice improved brightness and smoothness after one treatment, optimal results usually develop over a series of peels. A structured treatment plan allows for gradual skin renewal, longer-lasting results, and reduced risk of irritation.

Is there a best time of year to have a chemical peel?

Chemical peels can be performed year-round, but treatment plans may vary depending on sun exposure and lifestyle. Your Skin Renewal team will advise on the most appropriate peel type and timing, particularly if you spend time outdoors or are prone to pigmentation.

Will a chemical peel affect your daily routine or work schedule?

Downtime depends on the depth and type of peel used. Many superficial peels allow you to return to normal activities immediately. In contrast, more advanced peels may involve short-term flaking or sensitivity. Your practitioner will guide you on what to expect and how to care for your skin post-treatment.

Can chemical peels be combined with other skin treatments?

Yes, chemical peels are often combined with treatments such as microneedling, laser therapy, or medical skincare for enhanced results. Combination treatments are carefully planned to support skin healing and maximise overall skin rejuvenation without over-treating.

What can you expect after a chemical peel treatment?

After a chemical peel, your skin may feel warm, tight, or slightly red, similar to mild sun exposure. Light flaking or peeling may occur over the next few days as the skin renews itself. This is normal and temporary.

You’ll be advised to keep your skin hydrated, avoid sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum SPF daily. As healing progresses, skin typically appears brighter, smoother, and more even in tone, with results continuing to improve over time.
