Chemical peels are divided into 3 categories: Superficial,medium depth and deep peels. Superfical peels like glycolic and salicylic acid in small concentration could be used at home with proper instructions. It is important to remmeber that small concentrations could still be harmfull if layering is done. Best of luck!
