There are different types of chemical peels. One of the most common is the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) peel. This type of peel is gentle and effective for treating minor skin concerns, such as uneven skin tone, fine lines, and mild acne. AHA peels are typically derived from fruit and milk, making them a natural and safe option for most skin types.

For more severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, scarring, and sun damage, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) peel may be more appropriate. BHA peels penetrate deeper into the skin than AHA peels, making them more effective for treating more severe skin concerns. Salicylic acid is a common BHA used in chemical peels, as it can effectively penetrate clogged pores and reduce the appearance of acne and acne scars.

For those with sensitive skin, a lactic acid peel may be the best option. Lactic acid is a gentle AHA that can effectively exfoliate the skin without causing irritation or inflammation. Lactic acid peels are also a popular choice for those with dry or dehydrated skin, as they can help to restore moisture and improve skin texture.
