45 minutes for the face, one hour when the chest is included.

A focused peel from a professional line built around acne-prone skin.
Face Reality is a professional skincare line known for its acne-clearing approach, and this is the lightest strength of its acne peel, chosen to limit irritation and dryness.
The peel neutralizes on its own, so there is no separate stop step and your esthetician can focus on careful, even coverage.
Breakouts on the upper chest are common in hot, humid weather, so we offer a face and chest version for $130.
What to expect, step by step
We look at where and how you break out, what products and prescriptions you use, and whether anything is too inflamed to peel today. If you have taken isotretinoin, you will need clearance from your prescriber first.
Oil, sunscreen and makeup are removed so the peel reaches clogged pores evenly, including along the jaw and hairline where congestion tends to hide.
The Face Reality acne formula is applied in careful layers and neutralizes on its own. Expect a tingle or warmth, usually strongest where breakouts are active.
We finish with soothing, non-pore-clogging hydration and sunscreen, then book your next peel roughly two weeks out so progress keeps building.
How the acne peel compares with a related option.
For congestion and breakouts on the face, in 45 minutes.
Covers the upper chest as well, in one hour, for breakouts that show up below the neckline.
A longer visit with manual extractions plus chemical exfoliation, better when blackheads and clogged pores need hands-on clearing. Compare the extraction facial.
Clarifying masque plus extractions, a good alternating visit during a peel series when oiliness and blemishes are the issue.
Hands-on clearing of stubborn blackheads after steaming, booked on a different day from your peel.
If your skin is dry or reactive as well as breakout-prone, your esthetician may alternate in this gentler peel.

Sweat, sunscreen and summer congestion in Boca Raton
From May through October, Boca Raton humidity, heavy sunscreen and post-workout sweat add up to clogged pores along the forehead, jaw and chest. A regular acne peel helps clear the buildup that traps oil, so it keeps pace with that seasonal congestion. Pair it with a lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreen and a quick rinse after beach volleyball or a run along A1A, and your skin has a fighting chance.
Other ways to support clearer-looking skin.
For a full plan that includes facials and extractions, start with our acne treatment guide. You can also compare every option on the chemical peels page, or book a deep-pore extraction facial between peels.
Peels can help acne-prone skin look clearer by exfoliating the buildup that clogs pores and by smoothing rough texture. They work best for mild to moderate congestion as part of a consistent routine. Acne is a medical condition, so for painful, cystic or scarring acne, see a dermatologist.
About every two weeks during an active clearing phase is common, which follows the rhythm Face Reality recommends for its acne approach. Once breakouts calm down, many people move to monthly visits.
Some people notice a short-lived flare of small breakouts in the first week or two as congestion surfaces faster. It should settle as sessions continue. If breakouts become painful or spread, contact us and your doctor.
Tell us everything you use. Isotretinoin users usually need a gap of at least six months after the last dose. Prescription retinoids and benzoyl peroxide may need to be paused for several days before a peel, so check with your prescriber first.
Acne peels typically combine exfoliating acids, such as salicylic or mandelic acid, with ingredients that calm the look of redness. Our Face Reality Acne Peel #1 is the lightest concentration in its line, blending exfoliating acids with specialty ingredients chosen to avoid excessive irritation.
No peel will erase true scarring. Over a series, an acne peel can help post-breakout marks and rough texture look smoother and more even. For pitted or raised scars, talk with a dermatologist about medical options.
Skip workouts, hot yoga and saunas for the rest of the day and ideally the next. Sweat and heat can irritate freshly peeled skin, and when you return to training, rinse your face soon after.
Our acne peel comes in a face and chest version ($130) for breakouts on the upper chest. Back peels are not currently on our menu, so we focus on the face and chest.
No. Let flakes fall away on their own and keep the skin moisturized. Picking or scrubbing can leave dark marks that take much longer to fade than the breakout itself.
Many people see less congestion within the first few sessions, with steadier progress over about three months when peels are paired with a consistent home routine. Hormonal or stress-related breakouts can still come and go along the way.
