Chemical peels have long been hailed as the secret to smoother, brighter, more even skin, but if you’ve ever been turned off by the idea of visible peeling, redness, or hiding indoors for days, we get it. That’s exactly why we created the No-Peel Chemical Peel Facial, a gentle, spa-grade exfoliating treatment that delivers all the glow, none of the drama.

This treatment is perfect for clients who want to smooth texture, refine pores, and even out tone without disrupting their schedule. Whether you're heading back to the office, to an event, or just living your day-to-day life, this peel fits in effortlessly. It’s skincare that works with your life, not around it.

A Gentle Reset for Skin That Feels a Bit “Off”

During the treatment, your esthetician will apply a light chemical exfoliant formulated to boost cell turnover without triggering visible flaking or irritation. You might feel a slight tingling or warm sensation, nothing intense, just enough to let you know something is happening.

And something is. Behind the scenes, dull and uneven surface cells are gently lifted away, encouraging smoother texture, tighter pores, and that lit-from-within glow. Some clients notice a light dryness or tightness in the days following the facial as the skin naturally renews itself, but there’s no downtime, no hiding, and no guesswork. Just fresh, radiant skin.


Who A Chemical Peel Is Perfect For

The No-Peel Chemical Peel is especially loved by first-time peel clients, busy professionals, and anyone looking for a soft-but-effective reset. It’s ideal if you’ve been feeling like your products aren’t absorbing as well, your skin’s texture feels a bit rougher than usual, or you simply want to maintain long-term skin clarity and glow.

This is also a great facial for those with acne-prone skin, early signs of aging, mild pigmentation, or dullness without needing anything aggressive or invasive. If your skin is compromised or ultra-sensitive, we may recommend a different service but for most skin types, this treatment is a no-brainer.


Post-Facial Glow Without the Guesswork

You’ll leave your session with skin that feels clean, refreshed, and instantly smoother. No peeling sheets. No scaly texture. Just results. Any mild redness or tightness typically resolves within a day and most clients don’t experience any visible flaking at all.

To keep your glow going, we recommend avoiding exfoliants, active ingredients like retinoids, and intense workouts or heat for about 48 hours post-treatment. Hydrating, barrier-supportive skincare and SPF are your skin’s best friends in the days following your facial. Trust us, your future self will thank you.



How Often Should You Get It?

This facial is designed to be repeated regularly, ideally once a month for maintenance or in a series of three to six sessions spaced four weeks apart if you’re working on targeted concerns like acne, pigmentation, or fine lines.

Because it’s so gentle, it also plays well with other treatments in your skincare plan. Many of our clients alternate this peel with Oxyderm facials, JetPeel, or hydration treatments for a holistic, results-driven approach to skincare that respects the skin barrier and builds results over time.


Want to Level It Up?

If you’re in the mood for something extra, we offer a number of curated add-ons to enhance your treatment, like LED light therapy for inflammation, lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness, or a custom mask upgrade to amplify hydration. You can also pair the No-Peel Facial with microcurrent sculpting, nano infusion, or even dermaplaning for a refined finish. Your esthetician will recommend the best add-ons based on your skin’s needs.


One Final Note

The No-Peel Chemical Peel may be gentle, but it’s still a professional-grade exfoliation, so there are a few things we’ll ask before booking. This treatment isn’t suitable if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain autoimmune conditions, or have recently used strong exfoliants or retinoids. As always, we’ll walk through your skincare history to make sure this facial is the perfect fit.



A Peel You Can Actually Plan Around

The best part? This facial doesn’t require a “recovery period.” You can go about your life while your skin quietly renews in the background. Think of it as a behind-the-scenes reboot with visible results that don’t ask you to cancel plans.



Book your No-Peel Chemical Peel Facial today and step back into your week with smoother, brighter, more refreshed skin with no peeling required.

The holiday season is here, and at GLOW Beauty Bar, December is one of the most meaningful months of the year. It’s a time when we reflect on our community, show our appreciation, and create additional touchpoints of joy and ease for our GLOW+ Members. This month’s member-exclusive perks were designed with intention: to help you navigate a busy season with more glow, more value, and more care.


December can feel chaotic. It’s expensive, emotionally full, and energetically draining. Most of our clients share that they put themselves last during the holidays, prioritizing family gatherings, work events, travel, and gift buying. Our goal this year is to step in and lift some of that weight by offering benefits that save you money, simplify your month, and add a sense of luxury to every visit. Everything in this campaign was created to give back to the women who make GLOW what it is.

This curated list saves you time, eliminates decision fatigue, and ensures that every gift is elevated, thoughtful, and aligned with our results-focused philosophy.

Looking for transformative skin results without the sting of a traditional peel? The Cimel Cold Peel delivers exactly that. This professional-grade treatment targets acne, uneven tone, pigmentation, and fine lines using a powerhouse blend of ingredients like Retinol, Alpha-Arbutin, Kojic Acid, and Salicylic Acid. But what makes it different? It’s designed to correct, not to shock. There’s no harsh in-clinic burn or multiple layers. Just one thin, expertly applied coat activates a controlled peeling process that resurfaces your skin over the following days, leaving you brighter, clearer, and more confident by week’s end.

What to Expect from the Process Your skin is cleansed and prepped before your aesthetician applies a single, even layer of the Cimel Activator. You’ll feel a bit of warmth and a light tingling sensation, but nothing intense. There’s no massage or mask, this is a results-focused corrective peel, not a relaxation facial. You will be notified at what time you are required to wash off the peel. Within 24–48 hours, redness and tightness begin, followed by visible peeling or flaking between days 2 to 5. Most clients are fully healed by day 7 and notice improvements in tone, clarity, and texture by day 10–14.

Who This Treatment Is For  The Cold Peel is ideal for clients who:

  • Are concerned with acne, pigmentation, scarring, or uneven tone

  • Are ready for medium-depth peeling and can tolerate visible flaking

  • Are committed to following the full post-care plan

  • Are not currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or on photosensitizing medications

Real Correction, Not Just Glow This is the kind of peel that works under the surface. As your skin naturally sheds, it reveals a smoother, more even layer beneath. Clients often notice fewer breakouts, faded pigmentation, and a refined texture after just one treatment. Over time and especially with a series this peel strengthens the skin, reduces scarring, and restores a radiant, youthful complexion. And it’s safe for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI), making it a great choice for diverse skin types seeking real change.



Before session After 1 session

When and How Often? We recommend doing this treatment in the fall or winter, when UV exposure is easier to control.You’ll see visible results after just one session, but for full correction, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended. Your aesthetician will guide you through a tailored plan based on your skin goals.

Important Aftercare Reminders Post-peel care is non-negotiable for results and safety. Expect some redness and peeling starting on day 2 and lasting through day 5. During this time:

  • Avoid heat, exercise, steam, and sun exposure

  • Use only the post-care products recommended by your aesthetician

  • Don’t pick or peel any peeling skin—let the process unfold naturally

  • Skip all actives, retinoids, acids, or exfoliants for at least 7 days

  • Apply SPF 30+ daily, reapplying regularly

Want to Elevate the Results? While the Cimel Cold Peel stands powerfully on its own, your aesthetician may recommend pairing it with LED Light Therapy or Lymphatic Drainage before or after your peel series to boost recovery and support the skin's detox process. These enhancements are done separately, not during the same session but can make a noticeable difference in overall results.

A Final Word  The Cimel Cold Peel isn’t about pampering, it’s about progress. It’s one of our most trusted options for clients who want visible change in tone, texture, or clarity, especially when other treatments haven't delivered. With just one treatment, you’re already on the path to stronger, clearer, more resilient skin, no harsh burning, just results you can see and feel.

Ready to shed the old and reveal the glow? Book your Cold Peel today and let your skin do the talking.
