Avoid at-home chemical peels
Be very careful--I notice you are writing form India, and one major concern with Indian skin is the depigmentation that could occur from improperly administered chemical peels. It is truly advisable to see a qualified practitioner for these procedures.

Chemical Peel should not be done at home
Chemical peeling is not a do it yourself activity! It is far too easy to destory your appearence with scars and hypopigmentation. It takes cosmetic surgeons year to master chemical peels. If you think that it is expensive to pay an expert for a properly performed chemical peel, imagine what it cost to have an at home chemical peel corrected after you have horribly disfigured yourself.
