What are fruit acid peels?
Fruit acid peels are based on natural acids that gently penetrate the top layer of the skin to remove dead cells, improve skin texture, and minimize the appearance of wrinkles, pigment spots, and impurities. Depending on the acid concentration, the skin is intensively nourished and receives a visibly fresher appearance.

FAQs
Here we answer the most frequently asked questions about fruit acid peels so that you are well informed before you decide on this effective skin treatment.
A fruit acid peel is a cosmetic treatment in which acids such as lactic acid, glycolic acid or mandelic acid are used to gently remove the top layer of skin. This method stimulates skin renewal, improves skin texture and reduces blemishes and pigmentation spots.
The fruit acid is applied to cleansed skin, where it dissolves dead skin cells and stimulates collagen production. Depending on the concentration and type of peel, the acid penetrates different layers of the skin to treat specific skin problems. After a contact time, the acid is neutralized and removed.
A slight tingling or warming sensation may occur during the treatment, especially with more concentrated peels. However, this is usually well tolerated. Sensitive skin types may experience a stronger reaction, but this is only temporary.
The treatment lasts 30 minutes, depending on the type of peeling selected and the individual skin condition. It is a quick and effective method with minimal disruption to everyday life.
A fruit acid peel is particularly helpful for:
- Acne and blemished skin
- Pigmentation spots and uneven skin tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Dull complexion and stressed skin
- Slight scars or unevenness
For optimal results, we recommend 4 to 6 sessions at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. The exact number depends on the skin condition and the desired results. Initial improvements are often visible after the first treatment.
Fruit acid peels are safe and well tolerated. Immediately after treatment, the skin may be slightly reddened or peel, but this will subside within a few days. In rare cases, minor irritation or dryness may occur.
A clearer and smoother complexion is often visible after the first session. With each subsequent treatment, the skin texture improves, pigmentation spots are lightened and the skin is generally more radiant and healthier.
Yes, fruit acid peels generally do not require any downtime. However, it is important to take care of your skin in the first few days after treatment, avoid direct sunlight and use sun protection.
Fruit acid peels are suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, people with active skin conditions such as rosacea or open wounds should consult a skin expert beforehand.
After a fruit acid peel, you should:
- Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day.
- Treat the skin with moisturizing and soothing products.
- Avoid strong heat sources such as saunas or steam baths for the first 24-48 hours.
The results can last for several weeks to months. To maintain long-term skin health, we recommend regular refresher treatments every few months and continuous skin care at home.
