How To Choose The Right At Home Chemical Peel

How To Choose The Right At Home Chemical Peel

How would you like to easily improve your skin’s health and appearance while reversing the hands of time?

Thanks to at-home chemical peels, women and men of all ages have diminished fine lines and wrinkles, acne and discoloration, while improving skin texture, brightness and firmness. Yet, many consumers fail to select the right peel simply because there are so many to choose from.

Key details to consider when purchasing an at-home chemical peel is the chemical type (Alpha Hydroxy, Beta Hydroxy, Trichloreacetic Acid (TCA), Jessners or a non-acidic Enzyme Peel) the percentage of the peel, and the pH level.

Here’s what you should know before purchasing any chemical peel:

What are the different types of peels?

Lactic Acids (Alpha Hydroxy). The ideal peel for the beginner and suitable for all skin types. Lactic Acid peels derive from milk and penetrate the epidermis only. Some formulations contain licorice extract—an effective skin lightening additive making the peel great for those with hyper-pigmentation (discoloration of the skin).

Glycolic Acid (Alpha Hydroxy). A good all-around acid for normal to oily skin types. Harsher than lactic acids, this peel penetrates the epidermis while exfoliating the skin.

Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy). This peel is oil soluble, making these acids perfect for oily skin that needs deep pore cleansing and loosening of blackheads. A beta-hydroxy, this acid penetrates the upper layers of the epidermis only.

Trichloreacetic Acid (TCA). TCA is a deeper peeling class of acids used for acne, lines, wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation and scarring. This peel penetrates the epidermis into the upper layers of the dermis producing a more effective peeling experience. Note that no matter how deep the peel penetrates, the skin will heal and return to normal. Always begin with a low strength peel for this particular acid.

Non Acid Enzyme Peel. These all-natural enzyme peels, made from papaya and pineapple, safely dissolve surface skin debris leaving the skin feeling soft, cleansed and refreshed. These are the same peels your esthetician would use at a high-end salon.

Revitalization Peel (Jessner’s Type). This is a drying peel best suited for oily and acneic skin types. Containing both alpha and beta hydroxies, along with resorcinol, this peel penetrates more deeply than an alpha or beta peel, but less deeply than a TCA. Not recommended for sensitive or dry skin.

There is a peel for every skin type, yet many consumers choose peels that are either too strong or not strong enough. This guide can help you make the best decision for your skin. When in doubt, always go gentler rather than stronger.

What do pH Levels mean, and why do they matter?

The pH level refers to the level of acidity or alkalinity within the product. The lower the pH, the more acidic the peel, thus making the peel stronger. The pH scale runs from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (very alkaline). Use caution with products that contain lower acidity levels, as these products are the most irritating to the skin.

What will happen to the skin following the peel?

The effects of chemical peels vary depending on the type. Here’s what to expect following:

Alpha Hydroxy Acid Peels—temporary redness for approximately 1 hour at the lower percentage

Beta Hydroxy Peels–temporary redness for approximately 45 minutes, some light flaking post-peel

TCA Peels—tempoary redness at lower percentages, followed by light flaking of the skin. At the higher percentrage you will see redness followed by the skin turning a brown coloration and visible peeling for up to 10 days. The degree to which these visible symptoms appear depends on the strength of the peel.

Jessner Peels—temporary redness and peeling for several days

Enzyme Peels—temporary pink coloration for 30-45 minutes

Conclusion

Today, chemical peels are one of the most affordable methods to improving the skin and fighting aging. Achieve lasting and noticeable results with a chemical peel that truly “fits” your skin. If the peel fits, you’ll enjoy years of glowing, fresh and youthful skin!

Peels Skin peels are highly effective in giving the skin an immediate glow that spells health and vitality. Peels are often used to treat sun damage on the face, hands and larger body areas such as the arms, back and legs. Peels remove the outer layers of the skin, a process which acts as a natural stimulus to produce new skin cells with more collagen and elastin. In addition, peels render the skin more permeable to the active ingredients in the active ingredients of skin care products.Undergoing routine peels is an integral part of any anti-aging regimen and skin refining program.Typically, this starts by an intensive protocol of weekly peels lasting for 4-6 weeks, followed by monthly maintenance sessions. Regular peels slow down the process of skin degradation and promote skin cell renewal. Acne Treatments Acne is one of the most common skin conditions affecting people of all skin ages. Although this condition is more often associated with teenagers, many adults suffer from acne throughout their lives. Although acne is a chronic condition it can be effectively managed; timely management is essential to prevent scarring. The current world-wide trend for the treatment of acne centers around the use of Photopneumatic technology rather than prescription medication, more commonly Roacuttane.

Distributed by profound skincare Ireland, made in the USA. I bought mine in Slender Health Beauty Salon in Dublin. This particular product can only be sold by professionals because it has such a high percentage of glycolic acid(it doesn’t state what percentage on the box as it’s not sold commercially. I would suggest that you see a dermatologist if you want to try a similar product, as any glcolic acid product you can buy online will not not be the same strength and will not provide dramatic results.
