What is Obagi Blue Radiance Peel?
The Obagi Blue Radiance Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel designed to reveal smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin with minimal downtime. This superficial depth peel uses a blend of salicylic, lactic, and glycolic acids to exfoliate the top layers of the skin, helping to improve overall tone, texture, and clarity.
How does it Work?
During the treatment, the peel solution is gently applied to the skin in layers. You may feel a mild tingling or warm sensation, which is completely normal and typically subsides quickly. The peel works by removing dead skin cells and stimulating cellular turnover, revealing fresher skin underneath.
What Does It Feel Like?
The treatment is quick—usually around 30 minutes—and is often described as feeling slightly tingly or warm, but not painful. After the peel, your skin may appear flushed, and light flaking or peeling may occur over the next few days as your skin renews itself.
What are the results?
Clients often notice a more even skin tone, refined pores, and a healthy glow after just one treatment. It’s especially effective for reducing fine lines, mild pigmentation, blemishes, and dullness. Skin looks smoother, more radiant, and noticeably refreshed.
What is the recommended frequency?
For optimal results, a course of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended. This allows for gradual, cumulative improvements in skin tone and texture, especially for those targeting acne, pigmentation, or early signs of ageing.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Obagi Blue Radiance Peel is ideal for individuals with concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, rough skin texture, or dull complexion. It’s also a great option for those wanting a refresh before a special occasion. If you’re unsure, we’ll assess your skin during a pre-treatment consultation to ensure it’s appropriate and safe for you.
You may feel a mild tingling or warmth during the peel, but most clients describe it as manageable and not painful. The treatment is designed to be gentle, and any sensitivity usually subsides shortly after the procedure. Post-treatment, your skin may feel tight or slightly flaky for a few days as it renews.
Recovery is minimal. You may experience light peeling, dryness, or redness for 2–5 days after the peel—this is a normal part of the exfoliation process. Most people return to their usual activities immediately after treatment, but it’s important to follow aftercare instructions and use sun protection while your skin heals.
You’ll see a visible improvement in your skin after just one treatment, but for best results, a course of 3 to 6 peels spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is recommended. Your practitioner will create a customized plan based on your skin goals and concerns.
