Acne Extreme treatment

What is Acne Extreme?

Acne Extreme works by dissolving built-up oil in the skin, helping to prevent severe acne outbreaks. The peel is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. It uses lactic acid to lift dark spots left by acne scarring, and resorcinol to exfoliate dead skin cells — reducing the bacteria that otherwise encourage acne to spread.

It also reduces the inflammation and swelling of cystic acne under the skin, which can feel soothing if your acne has been painful.

The treatment process

The Acne Extreme treatment process

From your first assessment to aftercare, each stage is guided by your practitioner.

  1. Step 1

    Consultation

    An aesthetician assesses your skin, takes baseline photographs to track progress, and recommends a personalised skincare plan.

  2. Step 2

    Treatment

    A double cleanse, prep solution and protective balm, then the peel for 5 minutes — layered up to three times if needed — followed by retinol and SPF30.

  3. First 48 hours

    Straight after

    Any redness fades within 24–48 hours. No water on the skin for up to 6 hours, and no make-up for 24–48 hours unless mineral based.

  4. Days 3–10

    Peeling and aftercare

    You may peel between 3 and 10 days after treatment. Avoid exfoliating for 7–10 days and use your recommended products between sessions.

Our approach

An Acne Extreme plan built around your skin

We begin with a detailed consultation to understand the type and severity of your acne. Your Acne Extreme treatment plan is then customised using advanced products and techniques to reduce breakouts, control oil production and soothe inflammation.

Consistent monitoring and expert advice help you achieve and maintain clearer, healthier skin. Skin responds differently depending on medication, skincare history and skin type, so your practitioner guides you through your full aftercare routine. For oily or blemish-prone skin, you may also like to ask about Obagi Blue Peel Radiance or the Algae Peel.

  • Personalised skincare plan

Before you book

Acne Extreme questions

What is Acne Extreme?

A professional, results-driven treatment targeting active acne, congestion and inflammation using advanced techniques.

Is it suitable for all acne types?

Yes. The treatment is adapted to suit mild to severe acne, including hormonal and cystic types.

Will it help with acne scars?

Yes. It helps prevent new scarring and may reduce the appearance of old marks over time.

How many treatments will I need?

Typically a course of 4–6 sessions is recommended, but this depends on your skin's response.

Is there any downtime?

You may have mild redness or flaking, but most clients return to normal activity quickly. Redness straight after the peel fades within 24–48 hours.

When will I see results?

Most clients notice gradual improvement after a few sessions, with continued brightening over the treatment course.

Should I use skincare at home as well?

Absolutely. For best results we recommend combining in-clinic treatments with a prescribed skincare routine.

I have been going to Harry for many years now I wouldn't go to anyone else. My skin always feels refreshed and is always glowing. I am always getting compliments about my skin and that is all down to Harry. From the minute you walk in you will feel at ease and pampered. Harry is the best in the business and his knowledge is the next level. If anyone is thinking about having a little pamper you really need to get booked in you will not be disappointed and i can guarantee you will be booking in for another treatment. Thank you Harry xx

I had the most incredible experience with Harry at his Japanese head spa. From the moment I arrived, the vibe was immaculate—his space is beautifully calming, with soothing scents that instantly relaxed me. Harry's welcoming and tranquil demeanor set the perfect tone for the experience. The session began with a delightful foot spa and a glass of prosecco, and from there, it only got better. As I laid down, the relaxing aromas and perfectly fitting music transported me to another level of calm. Harry's expert hands worked magic on my head, neck, face, arms, and feet. The two hours felt like pure, uninterrupted bliss. It was hands down the best pampering I’ve ever had. Highly recommend! Xxxxx

I recently completed a 2 day Japanese Head Spa Training Course with Harry. It was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend to anyone looking to offer this treatment. What really set it apart was the emphasis on other areas to enhance my current facial offering. The training isn’t just about the head spa, but the whole experience for clients which will help anyone that learns from Harry to set yourself apart from others. I learnt lots of new techniques that have really improved my other treatments too! The days were long and in depth, which is what’s required to feel confident and I left the training feeling ready to go in my own clinic. The fact that Harry sources the models and provides a lot over the 2 days is also fantastic. I have to also mention the amazing kit Harry provides with all the tools you need to get started, fabulous!! The breakfast provided and lunch in the tea room was also just so lovely and made the whole experience such a treat. I’m so happy I decided to learn from Harry. I’ve had so much amazing feedback from my clients so far and that’s down to Harry’s teaching. Thanks so much Harry! 🙂

I trained with Harry to bring the Japanese head spa to my treatment list and can honestly say it was one of the best courses I’ve been on. Him and Michelle couldn’t do enough for me to make sure I was okay, needed anything going over again and made me aware where I was going right and how I could also improve. I’m super excited to offer this experience to my clients as it’s definitely going to be a different one! Thank you again ❤️

I can’t recommend Harry highly enough. He has completely transformed my skin, I’ve never experienced the level of care, attention to detail, and time he gives to each appointment anywhere else. He is truly the nicest guy, dedicated to his work and genuinely committed to his clients goals. His treatment room is set in the most tranquil, calming environment, which instantly puts you at ease. The added little extras he includes in the experience make every visit feel that bit more special and thoughtful. Thankyou Harry!

I recently completed a skin training course with Harry Morley, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. I learnt so much throughout the course, and the way everything was explained made it easy to understand and apply in practice. Harry is a fantastic trainer, not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also great fun to learn from. He creates a relaxed and supportive environment, which really helps build confidence. He is patient, approachable, and always willing to answer questions, no matter how big or small. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their skills in skin treatments or start as a complete beginner like me. It was truly a valuable and enjoyable learning experience and he still helps me know with ongoing support. Thank you Harry

I met and have been seeing Harry for over 2 years now, and I will never look back! I sing his name from the rooftops as he is the only person I trust with me skin. I have struggled since a teenager with problematic skin, acne and texture - and I leave every time so so happy with visible results! He often will change the treatment to do exactly what my skin needs on the day, and alongside my at home skin care my skin has never been this good. And on top of that - every treatment he offers is the most incredible relaxing experience - better than any spa I’ve been to including champneys!! I leave feeling so so relaxed and pampered every time. Love you Harry!!!

I have recently finished my Facial training with Harry which was amazing! I’m so glad I decided to train with him!. His attention to detail is incredible we learnt not only how to deliver a high standard relaxing facial but also how to help clients transform their skin!. We had plenty of models to practice on that I now feel confident to deliver treatments myself. We were also lucky enough to be introduced to Danielle Smith at ThinkCre8tive who is helping us bring our vision for our business to life. Harry is an excellent teacher who made me feel supported and confident along side Michelle who was also an amazing support. his course really is the full package!. I can’t thank them enough for helping me start my journey into my dream career. 🫶 Xx

Harry is simply incredible at what he does. I cried when I first met him due to the state of my skin and I’d tried everything on the market including prescriptions from the dr and nothing ever worked, in just 4 facials and some home care he completely transformed my skin and I cannot thank him enough. He is so professional and knows exactly what he’s talking about, he’s also a friend that you can rant to if needed! I will never not recommend Harry and I will always be a customer of his!
