The AlumierMD Radiant 30 peel renews sensitive and ageing skin with 30% lactic acid and no glycolic acid. Discover how it works at our Marylebone clinic.
Some skin gets to have all the fun. It tolerates retinoids, shrugs off acids, glows on demand. Yours flushes at a new cleanser. If that sounds familiar, the AlumierMD Radiant 30 peel was designed with your name on it: a professional peel that resurfaces without picking a fight with your skin barrier.
At Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser in Marylebone, we hear the same story in consultation after consultation. A glycolic peel years ago. A face that felt hot for days. Peels filed under never again. Radiant 30 exists to reopen that file.
Radiant 30 is a professional-only resurfacing peel from AlumierMD, the medical-grade brand dispensed exclusively through approved clinics. Its formula is built around 30% lactic acid, and its job is quiet renewal: lifting away the dull surface cells that make skin look tired, smoothing texture, and letting brightness through. Over a course, it helps improve the look of fine lines by keeping skin renewing the way younger skin does naturally. That steady rhythm of renewal is one of the quiet foundations of skin longevity.
Here is the twist that defines the whole AlumierMD range: there is no glycolic acid in it. Anywhere.
Glycolic acid is the small, fast molecule behind most peels, and behind most peel horror stories. It rushes in, and sensitive skin protests. Lactic acid is a larger molecule with better manners. It works gradually at the surface, and because it is a natural humectant it pulls water into the skin as it exfoliates. Renewal and hydration, in the same breath. For reactive skin, that difference is everything.
And an honest note: if your skin would be better served by a different peel, or a different treatment entirely, we will say so at your consultation. That is the point of having one.
Every AlumierMD peel at Dr Joney De Souza follows a calm five-step protocol. A thorough cleanse first. Then a balancing solution, which preps and degreases so the peel glides on in one even film. Then the lovely part: the Aqua Infusion Mask, a long drink of hydration before any acid arrives. The peel itself goes on in controlled layers, a warm tingle building and settling while your practitioner reads your skin between every layer. Finally the peel is neutralised and the skin is sealed with broad-spectrum SPF. Around 30 to 45 minutes, then straight back to your day.
For skin focused on ageing, our practitioner Roma can add a retinol booster to deepen the renewal, encouraging fresher skin to surface over the days that follow. It can bring a little more flaking, so it is added thoughtfully, and only where your skin will genuinely benefit. Nothing here is off the shelf.
Expect to walk out lightly flushed and walk into brighter skin within the week. Some people see gentle flaking around days two to four; many see none at all, and the renewal happens either way. For fine lines and lasting change, a course of three peels spaced around four weeks apart is the sweet spot. Between sessions, your job is simple: gentle skincare and SPF every single day. And you will not be guessing at products afterwards, because every peel includes the AlumierMD Post Procedure Kit to take home, in the price.
At Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser, every peel is performed by experienced skin practitioners under medical oversight, and every protocol is built around your skin rather than a set menu.

Sensitive skin does not need less care, it needs smarter care. Book a consultation at our Marylebone clinic and Roma will build a Radiant 30 protocol around your skin, your concerns and your goals.
And the aftercare comes home with you: every peel includes the AlumierMD Post Procedure Kit, in the price, with the brand’s own gentle products for the days after your peel.
The questions our Marylebone team hears most about this peel, answered straight.
A professional-only peel built around 30% lactic acid, available exclusively through approved clinics. It gently resurfaces to brighten, smooth texture and soften the look of fine lines, with no glycolic acid anywhere in the formula.
It was practically written for it. Lactic acid works gradually and hydrates as it exfoliates, so the skin barrier stays calm. It is the peel we reach for first with reactive skin.
Glycolic acid is a tiny molecule that races into the skin, which is why glycolic peels sting and flush. AlumierMD builds on lactic acid instead: larger, slower, kinder. Same destination, far gentler route.
Honestly? You will feel a warm, prickling tingle for a few minutes while the peel is on. Then it fades, and your practitioner watches your skin the whole way through.
Around 30 to 45 minutes for the full five-step protocol: cleanse, balancing solution, Aqua Infusion Mask, the peel itself and neutralising. Then straight back to your day.
Not necessarily, and it does not need to. Flaking is a side effect, not the goal. Plenty of patients simply look brighter by the weekend and wonder whether the peel worked. It did.
One peel buys you a glow. Three, spaced around four weeks apart, is where fine lines and lasting brightness genuinely start to shift. Your practitioner maps the rhythm at your consultation.
An optional add-on for ageing skin that deepens the renewal of the peel. Roma adds it only where your skin will genuinely benefit, which is exactly how boosters should work.
Gentle skincare, no strong actives until your skin settles, and broad-spectrum SPF every day. You leave with written guidance, and we are always at the end of the phone. The AlumierMD Post Procedure Kit is included in the price, so the right products come home with you.
