Perfect Derma Peel in Redondo Beach & Costa Mesa
The Perfect Derma Peel is Beauty Cult’s medium-depth peel of choice for clients dealing with acne, sun damage, or uneven texture, and the only peel of its kind formulated with glutathione, a powerful antioxidant most peels don’t include. At our Redondo Beach practice, it’s designed to reveal noticeably clearer, brighter skin with minimal downtime.
Our team tailors the treatment, and any optional boosters to whether your primary concern is acne, pigmentation, or general texture, available at either our Redondo Beach or Costa Mesa location.
What is a Perfect Derma Peel Treatment?
The Perfect Derma Peel is a medium-depth, medical-grade chemical peel formulated with TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, phenol, vitamin C, and glutathione. It's the only peel on the market that includes glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps lighten and brighten the skin while slowing visible signs of aging.
The Perfect Derma Peel is suitable for all skin types and ethnicities, and can be customized with optional boosters — an anti-aging brightening booster for pigmentation, or a clear booster for acne. A consultation with Dr. Clara Yu or one of our other aesthetic injectors is recommended to determine whether a booster is right for your skin.
How Does It Work / How Does It Compare to Others?
The Perfect Derma Peel works by exfoliating the outer layers of skin while its active ingredients target specific concerns: salicylic acid clears clogged pores, kojic acid and glutathione lighten and brighten discoloration, and TCA and retinoic acid stimulate collagen production and cell turnover. Its standout advantage over other medium-depth peels is glutathione — most peels don’t include this antioxidant, which both fights free radical damage and helps inhibit melanin production for a brighter result.
What are the Benefits of Perfect Derma Peel?
The Perfect Derma Peel is formulated to address multiple skin concerns in a single treatment, which is part of why it’s become a go-to option for such a wide range of patients. Its blend of active ingredients works on several levels at once: clearing congested pores, fading discoloration, and encouraging smoother, firmer-looking skin as new collagen forms. Because it’s suitable across skin types and ethnicities, it’s a peel Dr. Yu or one of our other aesthetic injectors can confidently recommend to nearly anyone dealing with acne, sun damage, or early signs of aging.
One significant benefit of the Perfect Derma Peel is its inclusion of glutathione, an antioxidant no other medium-depth peel on the market currently offers. It aids in:
Reducing acne and breakouts
Fading sun damage, melasma, and hyperpigmentation
Smoothing fine lines and improving overall texture
Safe, effective results across all skin tones and ethnicities
Optional boosters (Anti-Aging & Brightening, or Clear) to further target pigmentation or acne

Before & Afters
perfect derma
Does the Perfect Derma Peel hurt?
The first pass can feel mildly uncomfortable, but the phenol in the formula numbs the skin quickly, and most patients describe the rest of the treatment as painless.
What makes the Perfect Derma Peel different from other peels?
It's the only chemical peel on the market that includes glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps brighten skin and inhibit melanin production, in addition to its blend of TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and kojic acid.
How many days will I be visibly peeling?
Flaking typically begins a couple of days after treatment and continues for several days — most patients plan for about a week before skin looks fully settled.
Can I wear makeup while I’m peeling?
It’s best to avoid makeup during active peeling to let the skin shed naturally; Dr. Yu will give specific guidance based on how your skin responds
What are the booster options?
The anti-aging brightening booster is formulated for stubborn pigmentation and melasma, while the clear booster targets acne and acne-causing bacteria. Not every patient is a candidate for a booster, which Dr. Yu will assess during your consultation.
How much does the Perfect Derma Peel cost?
Pricing depends on whether a booster is added to your treatment, and will be discussed in detail during your consultation with Dr. Yu or one of our other aesthetic injectors.
How long should I wait between Perfect Derma Peel treatments?
Most patients see visible results within about a week from a single treatment. Your skincare specialist can recommend a treatment schedule based on your skin's condition and goals.
