Uses glycolic acid, salicylic acid, TCA, etc.; classified as superficial, medium, or deep peeling by depth.

Caution

Temporary flaking and redness may occur after the session; sunscreen use is mandatory.

Overview & characteristics

Chemical peeling is an in-clinic method that applies an acidic solution such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or TCA to loosen the cell bonds in the epidermal keratin layer, sloughing off old dead cells and supporting the skin's regeneration cycle. Depending on the type and concentration of acid used and the depth of action, it is known to be categorized into superficial, medium, and deep.

How to manage

After a peel, the skin can become temporarily sensitive and dry, so avoiding irritating ingredients and being thorough with moisturizing and sun protection is recommended. The deeper the peel, the greater the recovery period and precautions, so the concentration and interval must be decided through a consultation with the practitioner.

Good to know alongside

It is related to AHA (glycolic acid), BHA (salicylic acid), TCA, exfoliation care, and caution about post-session pigmentation. Skin right after a peel is known to be more vulnerable to UV.

Everyday care tips

Resting from scrubs and high-concentration retinoids for about a week after a peel and being thorough with sun protection can help with recovery and tone care.
