There are some home chemical peels that are mild and safe.  Obviously you would have to use these for a longer period of time.  However, you should at least get an initial consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and medical esthetician to discuss your particular skin problems and to go over all alternatives.  Chemical peels, laser peels, fractional lasers, etc, can give you more rapid and sustained results, but they are not for everyone and not everyone needs them anyway.
