Best Chemical Peel At Home

As convenient as these home peels seem, I
would strongly recommend that you avoid them.
Peels can have many side effects that can, in some cases, be
permanent. A proper medical consultation
is always recommended prior to performing even a light peel.

When you have a peel done at your doctor's office
you will have a consultation which will make sure you are a good candidate. You'll also learn about any potential risks involved so you can make an informed choice as to whether you'd like to proceed with treatment.
The acids used in these offices will be in their purest form, and this will
minimize any chances of added ingredients that can potentially cause allergic
reactions. A professional will asses
your skin once the acid is applied and give you a personalized treatment versus generic instructions that came from a box.
Medical aestheticians are professionally trained and deal with all skin
types and skin concerns. I would recommend you see one prior to choosing any
skin treatment, even if you choose a home peel.

At home chemical peels are going to be less effective than one from a licensed professional due to the at home chemical peels having a lower percentage of active ingredient and a higher ph balance. Therefore they deliver less exfoliation and are not as strong as a in office peel and will not reduce hyperpigmentation effectively.  It is always best to see a professional who can recommend the proper Chemical Peel for your skin type.

Not all peels are created equal. Home kits contain lower concentrations of acids/peeling agents. For your safety, home kits are designed to be “fool-proof” with low risk. If your goal is to effectively remove hyperpigmentation and sun damage, most likely a home peel will offer minimum to no results. Your best bet is to schedule a consultation with a medical spa. After a thorough analysis of your skin’s condition, a treatment plan will be determined. Also, plan on receiving a series of peels to achieve your desired result. Important: beware of medical grade peels being sold online. Logically, if a peel is labeled “medical grade” or “professional strength” play it safe and leave the treatment up to the medical professionals and licensed spa professionals.
