Salicylic acid
Oil-soluble, so it gets into pores — a common choice for oily, acne-prone skin and blackheads.
Doctor-selected superficial peels for acne, dullness, tan and uneven tone — ₹2,500 per session, usually a course of 3.
A chemical peel is a solution — usually a fruit or plant acid such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic or mandelic acid — applied to the skin for a few minutes to loosen the top layer of dead cells, so fresher, smoother skin comes through. Superficial peels help with dullness, rough texture, blackheads, mild acne, tan and early pigment. At Kezza Clinic, peels are chosen and performed under Dr. Amrita Mukhija and Dr. Neelam Choudhary at ₹2,500 per session, usually as a course of 3 sessions.
See chemical peel cost and courseThe acid, strength and timing are chosen for your skin type and concern — the same peel is not right for everyone.
Your skin sheds dead cells all the time, but sun, pollution, oil and age slow this down, leaving skin dull, rough or blotchy and pores congested. A chemical peel speeds up the process in a controlled way: the acid loosens the bonds between dead cells so they lift away over the next few days, and the skin renews itself from below.
Peels are grouped by how deep they work. Superficial peels, such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic and mandelic acid, act on the outermost layer and have little downtime — they are what most people need for glow, acne and tan. Medium-depth peels go further, cause more peeling and are planned by a doctor for specific concerns; see medical peels. Deep peels are rarely used in Indian skin.
Results build over a course. One peel can make skin look brighter within a week; for acne, texture and pigment, a course of about 3 sessions a few weeks apart works better, together with good daily skin care and sunscreen.
Indian skin can darken after irritation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), so the peel strength, time on the skin and preparation matter. This is why peels at Kezza are chosen and supervised by doctors rather than applied as a standard salon treatment.
A chemical peel at Kezza costs ₹2,500 per session. Most people start with a course of 3 sessions; your doctor advises whether you need more or a maintenance peel later.

Deep pigmentation such as melasma usually needs a medical peel or laser plan rather than a superficial peel alone — your doctor will tell you.
Your doctor looks at your skin type, concern and current products, and chooses the peel and strength.
Daily sunscreen and sometimes a prescribed cream to prepare the skin; retinoids are paused a few days before.
The skin is cleansed and degreased so the peel spreads evenly.
The peel is applied and timed carefully. Tingling or mild warmth is normal.
The peel is neutralised or removed, then a soothing cream and sunscreen are applied.
Most people have 3 sessions a few weeks apart, then maintenance if needed.

At Kezza Clinic, a chemical peel costs ₹2,500 per session. Most people start with a course of 3 sessions; your doctor confirms the plan after examining your skin.
Usually a course of 3 sessions, a few weeks apart. Some people then have a maintenance peel every month or two, depending on their skin and concern.
Superficial peels have little downtime. Your skin may look pink for a few hours, and some people get light flaking for 2 to 5 days. Most people return to work the same day.
Most people feel tingling, mild stinging or warmth while the peel is on, which stops once it is removed. Your doctor watches your skin throughout.
Superficial peels are generally safe for Indian skin when the right peel and strength are chosen and the skin is prepared. Darker skin can develop dark marks after irritation, which is why a doctor chooses the peel and why sunscreen is essential afterwards.
A superficial peel can help a little with surface pigment, but melasma usually needs a doctor-planned approach such as a medical peel, laser toning and prescription creams, with strict sun protection.
Avoid picking flaking skin, scrubs, retinoids, waxing and direct sun for about a week, and use a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen every day.
Tell us your main concern — acne, tan, dull skin or dark marks — and whether you use any prescription creams. The team will plan your first peel with Dr. Amrita or Dr. Neelam.
