Peel Like a Pro: An Esthetician’s Guide to Safe and Effective At-Home Chemical Peels
Share
When it comes to chemical peels, many people envision dramatic skin shedding as seen in viral social media posts. However, it’s important to clear up a common misconception: the term "peel" doesn’t necessarily mean your skin will visibly shed. At-home chemical peels are much gentler compared to the professional-grade treatments offered in an esthetician’s treatment room or a dermatologist’s office.
At-home peels are essentially advanced exfoliants that help address concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. Think of them as more potent than your typical exfoliating products but not as strong as professional treatments. Used correctly, these peels can be a great addition to your skincare routine for more radiant and healthier skin.
What to Look for in At-Home Peels When selecting an at-home peel, look for trusted brands that provide clear ingredient lists and detailed user instructions. Though not professional-grade, these products can still cause irritation or damage if misused. Proper education and following usage guidelines are key to achieving safe, effective results.
My Recommended Brands for At-Home Peels Over the years, I’ve tested many products, and two brands stand out for their reliability and results:
1. Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads These user-friendly peel pads are a versatile option for most skin types and can be easily incorporated into any skincare routine. They’re especially effective for treating hyperpigmentation on both the face and body. Their straightforward application makes them an excellent choice for those new to at-home peels but set in a solid skin care routine.
2. Sanitas Peel Kit This peel kit is a complete system, providing everything you need from start to finish, including pre-treatment and post-peel care. It’s particularly effective for tackling hyperpigmentation and signs of aging. Designed for weekly use over 4-5 weeks, it offers structured guidance for consistent results.
