Hello.
I am Dr. Dong-young Kim, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever been bothered by small, millet-like breakouts on your forehead or chin,
even after removing your makeup?
"Just when I think they've subsided, they pop up somewhere else,
and my skin is so oily that my makeup doesn't sit well."
Persistent breakouts are not just a matter of cleanliness.
When dead skin cells accumulate and clog pores, sebum becomes trapped,
leading to inflammation, which results in closed comedones and pimples.
Surface cleansing alone often fails to reach deep inside the pores.
Hongdae Black Peel is a treatment designed to gently address these causes of breakouts
while minimizing skin irritation.
Today, I will explain what the Hongdae Black Peel is
and the principles of how it works on skin troubles.
What is Hongdae Black Peel?
👉 Hongdae Black Peel is a natural peeling treatment based on naturally fermented black vinegar, designed to clear impurities from clogged pores while providing anti-inflammatory and soothing effects.
The key ingredient is natural organic acid obtained by fermenting black rice.
Combined with complex ingredients such as jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and potassium iodide,
it works to refine dead skin cells and sebum.
Just as vinegar gently washes away old stains,
fermented black vinegar dissolves impurities within the pores,
helping skin troubles to subside effectively.
At low concentrations, it gently loosens the bonds between dead skin cells,
while at high concentrations, it is known to coagulate proteins to reduce irritation
and facilitate the exfoliation of dead skin.
Hongdae Black Peel Care Method
👉 Hongdae Black Peel is offered in 1-session and 5-session packages, both including step-by-step soothing care.
The procedure consists of five steps.
First,
Black Peelinvolves applying the fermented black vinegar-based peeling agent toclear dead skin cells and impurities from the pores.
Next, the
Neutralizationstep stops the peeling action to minimize skin irritation.Then, in the
AC Spotstep, intensive care is provided to the areas with breakouts, followed byRegeneration LED
therapy, which uses light to aid in soothing and recovery.Finally, the process concludes with a
Modelingmask to calm the skin.Since the results of Black Peel tend to stabilize with cumulative sessions rather than a single treatment,
we offer both 1-session and 5-session options.
Among these, Black Peel is recommended when troubles, acne, and sebum
are a concern.
Rather than one being superior, the most suitable peel depends on your skin concerns and condition,
which we will assess together during your initial consultation.
Benefits and Advantages of Hongdae Black Peel
👉 The key advantages of Black Peel can be summarized into three points: addressing the cause of breakouts, anti-inflammatory/soothing effects, and low irritation even for sensitive skin.
First, it addresses the root cause of breakouts.
By clearing impurities from clogged pores and removing accumulated dead skin cells,
it opens up pathways so that sebum does not become trapped.
Second, it provides anti-inflammatory and soothing effects.
Natural ingredients obtained during the black vinegar fermentation process are known to help
calm the inflammation of existing breakouts.
Finally, it has a low risk of irritation.
As a natural-based treatment that is less irritating than pure chemical acid peels, it is reported to be a relatively comfortable procedure
even for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
Who is Hongdae Black Peel for?
Those who frequently experience closed comedones or pimples
Those with an oily T-zone and excessive sebum
Those who find strong chemical peels burdensome due to active breakouts
Those concerned about clogged pores and blackheads
Those concerned about a dull skin tone along with breakouts
Side Effects and Important Considerations for Hongdae Black Peel
👉 Black Peel is not a one-time treatment;
results typically stabilize when performed cumulatively at 1–2 week intervals.
Although it is low-irritation, as it is still a peeling procedure,
temporary stinging, mild redness, or a slight burning sensation may occur after the treatment.
These symptoms are reported to subside within a few hours to a day.
In rare cases, breakouts may temporarily increase immediately after the procedure.
This is a reaction that occurs as impurities are cleared from the pores,
and the number of sessions will be adjusted based on your progress.
Please inform us in advance as the procedure may be restricted in the following cases:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is active herpes or an infectious skin condition in the treatment area
If you have a history of allergies to black vinegar or salicylic acid
If you have recently undergone a strong chemical peel or laser treatment
If you are using topical or oral medications with irritating ingredients, such as Isotretinoin
