Keep reading for a full review.
What is Biorepeel?
Biorepeel is a biostimulating, revitalizing, and peeling treatment. Unlike traditional chemical peels that can be harsh on the skin and require recovery time, Biorepeel is designed to provide a more gentle approach, with less downtime.
BioRePeel is a 35% TCA peel (Trichloroacetic acid) with ZERO to minimal skin shedding, meaning, you don’t have to put your social plans on hold while your skin heals.
BioRePeel improves the skin surface, imperfections, and accelerates cell turnover. It also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin deep within the skin.
Results can be seen instantly and continue to improve over the following weeks.
This peel can be used all year round and on all skin types!
How does it work?
The treatment provides a dual action: peeling and biostimulation. The peeling action helps exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, revealing fresher, more radiant skin underneath.
Biostimulation, on the other hand, encourages the skin’s natural regenerative processes, helping to boost collagen and elastin production, while also improving cellular turnover. The innovative peel formula helps to exfoliate your top layer of the skin by dissolving the bonds between old, dead, or damaged cells and promoting regeneration. This results in a micropeel effect revealing a new layer of fresh, healthy, and luminous-looking skin.
- BioRepeel has been clinically tested and proven to decrease and or eliminate damage from UV rays, pigmentation, acne and acne scarring.
- It dissolves bonds between the cells and carefully removes the outer layer of skin, turning over the cells and revealing the glowing smooth new layer of skin underneath.
- It also stimulates the Fibroblast cells, which are the cells responsible for the production of collagen and elastin.
Key ingredients include:
- A potent TCA solution for targeting skin texture, scarring, and discoloration
- Salicylic acid for troubleshooting congested pores and excess oil
- Lactobionic acid for boosting intercellular metabolism.
- Tartaric acid for natural brightening
- Additionally, amino acids, and antioxidant vitamins–including Vitamins C and B2–are added to fight free radicals and damage to the skin as a result of UV and other environmental stressors.

Treatment Procedure
My esthetician double cleanses the skin, dermaplanes to remove dead skin and hair (you want to include this with the peel), and then she does extractions & facial massage. Next, she applies the peel- the trendy thing to do is apply it in dots but it’s not necessary (it’s for clickbait). She applies it in sections then pats it in until it’s tacky. She puts her red LED lights over my face for 10 minutes then removes the peel and applies skincare and SPF. The whole process takes about an hour and a half but I will say that my esthetician is VERY thorough. I’ve seen other spas just apply the peel and that’s it. Unless you’re saving a ton of money at those spa’s It’s not really worth it- find one that will give you the whole facial with the peel.
How does the BioRepeel feel? It does feel a little tingly but it’s not nearly as bad as other peels I’ve tried.
Afterward, your skin might appear slightly red or irritated but this usually subsides quickly.

My BioRepeel Experience
I have pretty healthy skin already. I have larger pores on my nose and am prone to breakouts around my period, and some red and dark spots but overall my skin is happy and clear. I wanted to try this peel series to see if it would help my breakouts, large pores, and pigmentation.
The peel was a little spicy but definitely not the worst I’ve ever experienced. After a few days I did start to slightly shed, especially around my nose and mouth but it was so subtle no one would notice. After shedding for two days my skin looked glowy and hydrated. It took about 7-10 days to see full results.
After my 3 treatments, I noticed my dark spots lightened, my skin was more clear, and I looked more glowy.
This is a great peel! I really like how there is minimal downtime. I wouldn’t plan on going to an event on day 3-5 just because your skin does look a little flaky but even if you have to there is minimal peeling and most people would just think you have dry skin.
I will say, I didn’t notice a significant improvement but I did see small changes. Overall I think this peel is very expensive and while you should expect to see some improvement in a variety of skin issues, if you’re looking for a huge improvement this may not be the best peel for you. You may want to opt for a big peel like the VI or ZO Peels, deal with the downtime and experience more dramatic results.
Who shouldn’t get BioRepeel
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Anyone who is currently on or has taken Accutane/ Isotretinoin within the last 6 months

I hope this helped you decide if BioRepeel peel is the right treatment for you!
