There is a lot of online information about these treatments and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming, so let’s see if we can make it a little bit easier to make a decision about these treatments and in any case get informed in an honest way.
First thing we should know is that not every chemical peel can be used by anybody, it’s not the same as choosing something to wear, or what kind of candy do I want to have today. There are a few factor to take in consideration before even thinking about buying a chemical peel over the counter.
So, first thing: consider what kind of skin you have, is it extremely sensitive, is it dry, is it oily, is it super sensitive to sun exposure, does it suffer from any kind of allergies? According to which one of these questions is positive in your case, it is advisable to check with a doctor or at least a pharmacist. The best option always is to talk about this with a dermatologist, but we know these products can be bought over the counter and online, so we could settle that you need to talk to anyone who knows about skin care products before purchasing one.
A second very important point to consider is: what kind of imperfections do you want to improve? It could be anything from sunspots, discoloration areas, light wrinkles and crows feet, to deep wrinkles and scars. And according to the type of imperfection, there’s a type of chemical peel you can choose.
The lightest ones are glycolic peel, AHA peel and fruit acid peel. They come in various concentration degrees, the mildest ones have less than a 10% concentration of acid and can be found in the market as creams or lotions that you can put on every day for a long period of time. They enhance your skin slowly and have almost no side effects.
If you are looking for medium to intense peels, you should know they have some more important side effectsand a recovery process that can last from a couple of days to a couple of weeks, depending on the intensity of the treatment and your skin type.
