Mosaic Skin Studio offers customisable medical-grade chemical peels combining acid exfoliation with retinol infusion to resurface and brighten the complexion. Formulations are tailored to skin tone and concern — including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, acne congestion, and uneven texture. The studio's inclusivity focus means peel selection is carefully calibrated for darker Fitzpatrick skin types where aggressive peels carry higher risk of rebound hyperpigmentation. Mild to moderate peeling is expected over three to seven days post-treatment.
About this treatment
Medical-grade chemical peels at Mosaic Skin Studio are a core skin-renewal service at the San Francisco Glen Park location, available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The peel formulations combine exfoliating acids — such as glycolic, lactic, salicylic, mandelic, or trichloroacetic acid at varying concentrations — with retinol infusion to accelerate cell turnover and stimulate collagen production simultaneously.

Common concerns addressed include dull, uneven skin tone; superficial post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation; early fine lines and rough texture; congested pores and comedonal acne; and mild sun damage. Peels are not recommended for active inflammatory acne breakouts; the provider assesses suitability at each appointment.
