Gentle Chemical Peels for Sensitive & Redness-Prone Skin Types

Sensitive and redness-prone skin can be tricky to treat—especially in Ottawa’s changing seasons. If you’re longing for a way to improve texture, brighten your skin, or reduce the appearance of redness without irritation, gentle chemical peels may be the perfect solution. At Mishel’s Natural Beauty Clinic in Stittsville, our expert team specializes in safe, personalized chemical peel treatments for the delicate, reactive skin types found so commonly in our region. Discover why gentle chemical peels are becoming a local favorite and how you can enjoy a radiant complexion—no harsh reactions or discomfort required.


Why Sensitive & Redness-Prone Skin Needs Special Care


Living in Ottawa means your skin faces harsh winters, wind, and temperature swings. These environmental stressors, along with genetics, allergies, or skin conditions like rosacea, can leave you with persistent redness, irritation, and sensitivity. Using the wrong products can make matters worse, causing painful flare-ups or damage to your skin’s delicate barrier.


At Mishel’s Natural Beauty Clinic, we understand that local clients are searching for results-driven yet soothing treatments. Our approach to chemical peels puts your comfort and skin health first.


What Are Gentle Chemical Peels?


Chemical peels work by applying a carefully selected solution to the surface of the skin. This process encourages the natural shedding of dull, damaged cells to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath. For sensitive or redness-prone skin, we use specially formulated gentle peels—such as those containing low concentrations of lactic acid, mandelic acid, or polyhydroxy acids (PHAs). These ingredients promote renewal while ensuring minimal risk of irritation.


Key benefits of gentle chemical peels include:

- Softer, smoother skin texture

- Reduced appearance of redness and mild pigmentation

- Improved radiance and clarity

- Unclogged pores and light exfoliation without harsh scrubbing

- Strengthened skin barrier over time


What to Expect: Your Peel Experience at Mishel’s


When you visit our Ottawa clinic, you’ll experience premium care at every step:


Personalized Consultation 

Your journey to healthier skin starts with an expert consultation. We’ll review your history, sensitivities, and current routines to craft the safest and most effective peel plan. Our team takes into account:

- Severity and pattern of redness

- History of rosacea, eczema, or allergies

- Your daily skincare habits and triggers


Custom Treatment Selection 

We never take a one-size-fits-all approach—our peels are customized to your unique needs. Common gentle peel options for sensitive skin include:

- Lactic acid (a mild, hydrating exfoliant)

- Mandelic acid (great for redness and pigmentation)

- PHAs (extra gentle, excellent for barrier support)


Soothing Application Process 

- Skin is cleansed, prepped, and shielded from excess exposure.

- The chosen peel is applied in a relaxing, monitored environment.

- Most peels remain on the skin briefly, causing a mild tingle (not burning).

- The treatment is finished with calming serums and barrier-repairing moisturizer.


Aftercare and Recovery 

Recovery is minimal. Most Ottawa clients notice only slight pinkness for a few hours—no flaking or downtime required. You’ll receive at-home care instructions to maximize results:

- Avoid strong actives for several days

- Apply recommended gentle moisturizers and SPF

- Contact us anytime with concerns

What Results Can You Expect?


When done consistently, gentle chemical peels offer the following improvements:

- Softer texture, fewer dry patches, and minimized roughness

- Subtler, more even skin tone with less visible redness

- Brighter complexion and renewed glow, even in the depths of Ottawa winter

- Better tolerance and resilience against environmental stress
