At The ReTreat, chemical peels are more than exfoliation. They’re about revealing the very best version of your skin.
We integrate SkinMedica’s trusted formulations into our regenerative skin programs to help improve texture, reduce visible imperfections, and restore a radiant complexion. These professional peels are carefully selected for their safety, consistency, and results. Patients enjoy brighter, healthier skin while supporting the body’s natural ability to renew.
Both of our peel options are ideal for those seeking gentle, visible improvements without downtime.

Illuminize® Peel – Light Glow, Minimal Downtime
The Illuminize Peel is SkinMedica’s most superficial chemical peel. It is ideal for patients with mild skin imperfections or anyone new to peels. This gentle treatment helps remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells. It offers subtle brightening and freshens the complexion with no obvious peeling.
Benefits include:
- A luminous, vibrant skin tone
- Smoother surface texture
- Immediate radiance without irritation
Because the Illuminize Peel is so gentle, it is commonly used before events or as part of ongoing skin care to maintain a youthful glow. We often recommend it as the perfect beginner peel.
Vitalize® Peel – Visible Refinement for Moderate Skin Concerns
The Vitalize Peel is a medium-depth peel that penetrates both the uppermost skin layer and the underlying layer, the dermis. Because it goes into the deeper part of the skin, it can provide a more significant transformation and features more peeling.
This peel is appropriate for patients with mild to moderate skin concerns, including uneven tone, rough texture, or early signs of aging. It uses a blend of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and retinoic acid to support skin renewal and reduce the appearance of surface imperfections.
Benefits include:
- Smoother skin texture
- Reduction in fine lines
- Improved skin tone and reduced discoloration
Some flaking and peeling is normal starting a couple days after the peel. This peeling usually continues for a few days, gradually revealing the fresh, rejuvenated skin layer that was hiding beneath the older outer layers.
Combining Chemical Peels With Other Treatments
Chemical peels work well alongside other advanced skin treatments. Patients often alternate them with treatments like microneedling to maintain skin clarity, improve tone, and support long-term rejuvenation.
