The Kriniko Difference

A Peel Tailored to Your Skin

The best chemical peel results come from treating the skin you have, not following a one-size-fits-all protocol. Dr Kris tailors every Blue Peel RADIANCE® treatment so you get a visible glow while keeping your skin barrier healthy.

Skin-first assessment

Your skin type, concerns, history and current routine are reviewed so your peel, and any preparation beforehand, is right for you.

A controlled, measured approach

Dr Kris adjusts the number of layers applied to your skin and builds intensity gradually over a course, rather than risking irritation with too much, too soon.

Complete skin strategy

Peels refresh the surface. For deeper texture or skin quality, Dr Kris can combine them with microneedling or regenerative treatments such as polynucleotides.

Whether you want to fade sun damage, calm congested skin or simply restore your glow, Dr Kris creates a personalised peel plan for clear, healthy-looking results.

Blue Peel for Pigmentation & Sun Damage

Years of sun exposure can leave skin looking blotchy, with brown patches, freckling and an uneven tone. By removing the outer layer of pigmented, sun-damaged cells, the Blue Peel RADIANCE® helps even out your complexion and restore clarity.

Improvements build with each peel, so a course is usually recommended. Dr Kris may pair your treatment with medical-grade skincare and daily SPF to protect results and help prevent pigmentation returning.

Skin preparation for a salicylic acid peel for oily and blemish-prone skin in Cambridge

Blue Peel for Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can work inside the pore to break down excess sebum and the dead skin cells that lead to blackheads and breakouts. This makes the Blue Peel RADIANCE® especially well suited to oily and congested skin.

Over a course of peels, skin typically looks clearer and less shiny, pores appear more refined and mild marks left by past blemishes can soften. Where active acne needs medical management, Dr Kris will advise on the most appropriate approach.

Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE facial peel for dull skin and fine lines in Cambridge

Blue Peel for Radiance & Fine Lines

When skin cell turnover slows with age, stress or winter weather, dead cells build up on the surface and the complexion loses its glow. The Blue Peel RADIANCE® clears this dull layer away, leaving skin looking tighter, smoother and brighter after just one treatment.

It's a popular choice before a special occasion or as a regular skin refresh, and a course can also soften the look of fine lines and rough texture. Dr Kris will advise on the best timing ahead of any event.

Discuss Your Goals

Your Treatment Journey

What to expect, step by step

Knowing what happens before, during and after your Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE® appointment helps you feel at ease and get the very best from your results.

Medical consultation

Dr Kris reviews your medical history, assesses your skin and discusses your goals. You may be advised to pause retinoids or exfoliants for a few days before your peel.

The peel treatment

Your skin is cleansed and prepared, then the blue-tinted solution is applied in layers. You'll feel warmth and tingling that fades quickly. Treatment takes around 30 minutes.

Aftercare & review

Light flaking usually starts after 2–3 days and settles within 7–10 days. Moisturise, avoid picking and wear SPF 30+ daily. Your next peel is planned 2–4 weeks later.

How does Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE® work?

Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE® is a superficial chemical peel built around salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid that is oil-soluble, so it can travel into the pores to dissolve the build-up of oil and dead skin cells that causes congestion and dullness. It is combined with glycolic and lactic acids, which loosen the bonds between dead cells on the skin's surface, and with soothing botanical extracts including willow bark and liquorice root. The solution is tinted blue so every area can be seen to be covered evenly. As the outermost layer of dead cells is lifted away over the following week, fresher skin is revealed and cell renewal is encouraged, so the complexion looks smoother, clearer and brighter. Because the peel works on the upper layers of the skin, downtime is minimal. A course of peels builds on these results, and suitability is always confirmed at your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Blue Peel RADIANCE® Questions, Answered

How long does it take to see results from the Blue Peel RADIANCE®?

Many patients notice brighter, smoother-feeling skin within a week of their first peel, once the light flaking has settled. Improvements in pigmentation, pores and texture build with each treatment, and a course of 4 to 6 peels typically gives the best overall result.

Does the Obagi Blue Peel hurt?

Most patients find it very comfortable. You'll feel warmth and tingling while the solution is on the skin, which fades quickly once it is removed. A small fan can be used to keep you cool, and no numbing cream is needed.

Is there any downtime after a Blue Peel RADIANCE®?

Downtime is minimal and most people return to work the same day. Skin may look slightly pink for a few hours and usually begins to flake lightly after 2 to 3 days. This is easily managed with moisturiser and has usually settled within 7 to 10 days.

How many Blue Peel RADIANCE® treatments will I need?

A single peel gives an instant refresh, but a course of 4 to 6 peels spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart gives the best overall results. Dr Kris will recommend a plan based on your skin concerns, followed by occasional maintenance peels to keep skin looking its best.

Is the Blue Peel suitable for darker skin tones?

The Blue Peel RADIANCE® is a superficial peel that can be suitable for a wide range of skin types, including many darker skin tones. Because darker skin can be more prone to pigmentation changes after inflammation, Dr Kris assesses your skin carefully and may recommend preparing it with suitable skincare first.

What should I avoid after a chemical peel?

For the first week, avoid picking or pulling at flaking skin, exfoliating products, retinoids, saunas, steam rooms and strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours. Most importantly, wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day and limit sun exposure, as freshly peeled skin is more sensitive to UV.

Who is not suitable for the Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE®?

The treatment isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for anyone with an allergy to salicylates (including aspirin), or where there is active infection, a cold sore, broken or sunburnt skin in the area. You may need to wait if you have recently used oral isotretinoin or had laser, waxing or other resurfacing treatments. Your full medical history is reviewed before any treatment is offered.
