Looking to get brighter, smoother skin without having to pay a professional? Medik8’s at-home chemical peel treatment is hundreds less and delivers visible results
A new month often brings the chance to reset, and September feels almost as big as a new year, in our opinion. That makes it the perfect opportunity for a little self-care and glow-up time.
If you’ve been looking for glowing, smoother skin without forking out for hefty salon prices, Medik8’s at-home chemical peel alternative might be exactly what you need, and it’s currently on sale.
Professional chemical peels can cost hundreds of pounds per session, and they are definitely not something everyone can afford. However, that’s where Medik8 comes in. Its Sleep Glycolic is normally priced at £39, but it is currently 20% off at LookFantastic, bringing the price down to £31.20.
Medik8 is known for creating effective, science-backed formulas that deliver real results from the comfort of your own home, and this overnight peel is no exception.

Powered by 10% active glycolic acid, this leave-on AHA treatment works while you sleep to resurface and revive dull, uneven or congested skin. It gently removes dead skin cells, resulting in a smoother and brighter complexion. It’s the perfect product to use before an important event or when your skin just needs that little extra boost.
Unlike traditional peels, Sleep Glycolic uses Medik8’s innovative crystal encapsulation technology to gradually release glycolic acid through the night. What this does is help the skin barrier stay comfortable and balanced, while the product works to soften texture and fine lines.
If you’ve been nervous or unsure about getting your first salon chemical peel treatment, this is a great entry-level step to see if it works for you. Additionally, if you frequently get professional peels, this mask can be used between them to help extend the results of a peeling/facial course.
After more affordable chemical peel alternatives? The Ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution didn’t go viral for no reason. It’s less than £10 and has been hailed as “great for melasma and pigmentation”.
Additionally, the Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel pads are available to purchase in a travel size. They are £21 for a five-pack, a great chance to test out if they work for you without coughing up £93 for the bigger pack.
