Chemical Peels Explained: Which Type Is Right for Your Skin?

"Chemical peel" gets thrown around like it's one single treatment, but there's actually a whole range — and picking the wrong one for your concern means you won't get the results you're after.

Light Peels

Great for a maintenance glow, mild texture, and dullness. Minimal to no downtime, which makes them a good entry point if you've never had one before.

Medium-Depth Peels

These target more stubborn concerns — hyperpigmentation, sun damage, deeper texture issues. Expect some visible peeling over the following days, but the results are more dramatic.

Matching the Peel to the Concern

  • Acne and congestion: Peels with salicylic or glycolic acid tend to work best.

  • Hyperpigmentation and sun spots: Peels targeting melanin production, often layered with brightening ingredients.

  • Fine lines and texture: Peels that stimulate cell turnover and collagen.

Why a Consultation Matters Here More Than Anywhere Else

Peels are the one treatment where guessing can actually backfire — the wrong strength or type on the wrong skin can cause irritation instead of improvement. This is exactly why I do a real skin analysis before ever picking up a peel.
