What is the SA 15 Clarifying Complex?

In short, it is a facial peel. SA stands for salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, or BHA, that is oil-soluble. That single property is why it works so well for breakout-prone skin: it can travel into the pore and dissolve the oil and debris that lead to congestion and blemishes. The SA 15 Clarifying Complex delivers that clarifying power in a sophisticated formula designed to control blemishes and refine texture while staying comfortable on the skin.

What the SA 15 Clarifying Complex Peel treats

Active breakouts and blemish-prone skin
Clogged pores, blackheads, and congestion
Bumpy, uneven texture
Excess oil and a dull, rough surface

Is the SA 15 Clarifying Complex Peel right for you?

If you are managing breakouts or persistent congestion, this is an excellent treatment to build a routine around. For deeper acne scarring or significant pigmentation left behind by old breakouts, we may combine it with microneedling or a corrective peel. Your consultation lets us design the right clearing plan for your skin.

Recovery and downtime

Skin usually looks clearer and feels smoother quickly, with little to no downtime.
You may notice mild dryness or light flaking over the next few days as congestion clears. Let it shed naturally and keep skin hydrated.
Breakouts can occasionally surface briefly as the pores purge, then settle.
Avoid retinoids, scrubs, and acids for a few days, and wear daily sunscreen, since exfoliating treatments make skin more sun-sensitive.
Makeup is fine the next day for most guests.

Treatments That Pair Well

Bio-Clarifying Intensive for a complete, ongoing acne and breakout program
Clinical Corrective Peel to address texture and post-breakout marks
SkinPen microneedling for acne scarring once active breakouts are controlled

Home Care Tip: Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser, a daily medical-grade SPF, and targeted blemish products your aesthetician selects from our Vivier and Dermalogica range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the SA 15 Clarifying Complex cost in Winnipeg?

It is $150 for a 30-minute session at Grace Hill. For a series or a full acne program, we will outline the plan and pricing at your consultation.

Is a BHA peel good for acne?

Yes. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it works inside the pore where breakouts begin, making it one of the most effective peels for congestion and blemish-prone skin.

Will it irritate my skin?

This peel is formulated to clarify without the harsh sting people often expect from clinical acids. We always assess your skin first and keep the treatment comfortable.

Is there downtime?

Minimal. Skin often looks clearer quickly, with some possible light flaking as congestion clears. Sunscreen is important afterward.

How is this different from a regular facial?

A standard facial cleanses and maintains. The SA 15 is a targeted BHA peel that actively treats congestion and breakouts at the source for a clearer, smoother result.
