Facial Peel: Obagi Blue Peel Radiance
What is a Blue Peel Radiance?
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is a quick, superficial chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. It uses a blend of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid to gently exfoliate the skin, revealing a fresher, more radiant complexion with minimal downtime. It’s suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types and can be performed in as little as 30 minutes.
How does it work?
The peel removes the outermost layers of dull, damaged skin, stimulating skin‑cell turnover to clear congestion, refine pores, and boost skin brightness. Unlike deeper chemical peels, Obagi Blue Peel Radiance delivers visible results with little to no peeling, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment.

This treatment is effective for:
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Mild sun damage and pigmentation
- Acne and clogged pores
- Dull, tired‑looking skin
- Fine lines and roughness
Do I require a course of treatments?
Whilst you may notice an improvement after just one peel, a course of 3–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal, longer-lasting results. Your practitioner will guide you based on your skin type and concerns.
What will I notice after my treatment?
Most patients notice a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion shortly after treatment. The skin often feels tighter and looks refreshed. Mild redness or flaking may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
What should I do after my treatment?
Immediately After Treatment
- Skin may feel hot, swollen, or tight—this is normal.
- Apply a cool, sterile compress within the first 24 hours for comfort.
- Do not peel, pick, scrape, or rub the skin to avoid infection, scarring, or other complications.
Skin Protection and Healing
- Avoid sun exposure and extreme heat (natural or artificial), as well as strenuous exercise and swimming until fully healed.
- If sun exposure is unavoidable, apply SPF 30+ sunscreen.
- Avoid harsh exfoliation, additional treatments, and waxes/peels during the healing period.
- Stay hydrated by drinking water and limit caffeine and alcohol to support optimal skin recovery.
