Botanical Peel
For dull skin, congestion, uneven texture and gentle brightening with minimal downtime
At Clinic RX, each Botanical Peel treatment is personalised according to your skin type, sensitivity and concerns, making it suitable for concerns such as dullness, mild congestion, uneven skin texture and general skin brightening.
Most patients experience little to no downtime, making Botanical Peel suitable for regular skin maintenance or for those looking for a gentler alternative to stronger acid-based exfoliating treatments.
What Is Botanical Peel?
Botanical Peel is an enzyme-based exfoliating facial treatment that uses enzymes derived from fruits and plants to gently loosen and remove accumulated dead skin cells from the outer surface of the skin.
Depending on the formulation, botanical enzyme peels may contain ingredients such as papain from papaya, bromelain from pineapple or other plant-derived enzymes.
Unlike stronger acid-based chemical peels, which use acids to exfoliate the skin, Botanical Peel works through enzymatic exfoliation. This generally provides a gentler approach to skin resurfacing and may be considered for people who want mild exfoliation with minimal downtime.
How Does Botanical Peel Work?
The outermost layer of the skin naturally sheds dead skin cells. When these cells accumulate, the skin may appear dull, rough or congested.
Botanical Peel uses proteolytic enzymes that help break down proteins holding accumulated dead skin cells at the skin surface. This allows the loosened cells to be gently removed, revealing fresher and smoother-looking skin underneath.
At Clinic RX, the formulation, treatment time and intensity are selected according to your skin type, sensitivity and treatment goals.
What Can Botanical Peel Help With?
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Mild congestion and clogged pores
- Mild uneven skin texture
- Rough-feeling skin
- General skin brightening and refresh
- Preparing the skin for improved skincare absorption
- Skin that may not tolerate stronger exfoliating treatments
- Regular skin maintenance
Your skin should be assessed before treatment to determine whether Botanical Peel is appropriate for your concern.

- Neck
- Décolletage (chest)

The areas treated will depend on your skin concerns and the treatment protocol recommended during your assessment.

Is There Downtime After Botanical Peel?
There is usually little to no downtime for most patients. Some people, particularly those with sensitive skin, may experience temporary mild redness, warmth, tingling or sensitivity after treatment.
These effects generally settle within a short period. Because the skin has been freshly exfoliated, appropriate sun protection and gentle skincare are recommended following treatment.

Botanical Peel FAQs
What is a Botanical Peel?
Botanical Peel is a gentle, enzyme-based exfoliating facial that uses plant- or fruit-derived enzymes to help loosen and remove accumulated dead skin cells from the skin surface.
How is Botanical Peel different from a chemical peel?
Botanical Peel uses enzyme-based exfoliation, while many chemical peels use acids to exfoliate the skin. Botanical Peel is generally a gentler resurfacing option, although the most suitable treatment depends on your skin condition and goals.
Is Botanical Peel suitable for sensitive skin?
Botanical Peel may be considered for sensitive skin because enzyme-based exfoliation can be gentler than stronger acid-based peels. However, suitability depends on individual sensitivity, allergies and current skin condition.
Can Botanical Peel help with clogged pores?
Botanical Peel can help remove accumulated surface dead skin cells and may improve the appearance of mild congestion. More significant clogged pores or active acne may require a different treatment approach.
Is Botanical Peel painful?
Most patients find the treatment comfortable. A mild tingling or warming sensation may be experienced while the enzyme formulation is on the skin.
Is there downtime after Botanical Peel?
Most patients experience little to no downtime. Mild temporary redness or sensitivity can occur, particularly in more reactive skin.
When will I see Botanical Peel results?
Skin may look brighter and feel smoother immediately after treatment. More gradual improvements may occur with regular treatments depending on your skin condition and goals.
How often should I get a Botanical Peel?
Many patients repeat treatment every few weeks as part of regular skin maintenance. Your recommended frequency should be personalised according to your skin condition and sensitivity.
