Yellow Peel

Yellow Peel Treatment – Brighten, Resurface & Rejuvenate Your Skin

If you’re looking for a chemical peel that effectively brightens skin, reduces pigmentation, and improves texture — all with minimal downtime — the Yellow Peel is an excellent choice. Popular for its skin-brightening and anti-ageing properties, the Yellow Peel (also known as Retinol Peel) is a favourite at Manas Aesthetics for patients seeking visible results with a gentle recovery process. It’s particularly effective for Indian skin tones, offering a safer brightening alternative compared to deeper peels.

What Is the Yellow Peel?

The Yellow Peel is a Vitamin A (Retinol)-based chemical peel that also contains Kojic Acid, Vitamin C, and other antioxidants. Its distinctive yellow colour comes from the retinol compound. When applied, it penetrates the epidermis to accelerate cell turnover, stimulate collagen production, and inhibit melanin formation — resulting in brighter, smoother, and more youthful skin over a series of sessions.

What Does the Yellow Peel Treat?

• Pigmentation, melasma, and dark spots
• Fine lines and early wrinkles
• Dull, uneven skin tone
• Acne and acne marks
• Enlarged pores and rough texture
• Sun damage and age spots
• Mild skin laxity

Yellow Peel vs. Other Peels

Compared to the Black Peel, the Yellow Peel is a superficial to medium-depth peel with gentler exfoliation and a shorter recovery time. It is ideal for first-time peel patients, those with mild pigmentation, or those who cannot afford significant downtime. The Black Peel, on the other hand, is more intensive for stubborn pigmentation and deeper skin concerns.

The Yellow Peel Procedure

The treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes:

• Thorough cleansing and degreasing
• Application of the Yellow Peel solution evenly across the treatment area
• A mild tingling or warmth sensation during application
• The peel is left on and is NOT neutralised — it continues to work overnight
• Patients wash off the peel at home 6–8 hours after application as instructed

Mild peeling begins 2–3 days after treatment. The peeling phase is subtle and lasts 3–5 days.
