class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/chemical-peels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Susan Bard explains<\/a>, chemical peels are simply a type of cosmetic treatment that exfoliates the skin. Instead of using rough textures to manually exfoliate the skin and scrub off dead skin cells, a chemical peel uses acid to gently lift away older skin, leaving fresh, new skin behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Chemical_Peels\"><\/span>Types of Chemical Peels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that not all chemical peels are equal. Depending on their ingredients, a face peel can be classified as a superficial, medium-depth, or deep peel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Superficial peels<\/strong> only affect the top layer of your epidermis, so they&#8217;re especially gentle. Many people use this type of peel at home, and it can be applied up to once a month or as recommended in product instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Medium-depth peels<\/strong> will affect both the epidermis and the dermis underneath, known as the papillary dermis. It provides more intense results without requiring regular use, but people should only get this type of peel if a dermatologist recommends it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Deep peels<\/strong> are very aggressive and will thoroughly remove most of the epidermis and a lot of the dermis. Also called skin resurfacing, deep peels are much less common among skin care users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Benefits_of_Chemical_Peels\"><\/span>The Benefits of Chemical Peels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your goal is smoother, more even skin, chemical peels can be a great choice. They <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/skincare-guides\/how-to-get-rid-of-dead-skin-on-face\/\">remove dead skin cells<\/a> to reveal the brand-new cells underneath. If your skin is already in good shape, a chemical peel helps to reveal bright, glowing skin that feels soft and smooth. For those with dark spots or sun damage, a chemical peel can help to minimize the appearance of discoloration and make your skin tone look more even.&nbsp; Of course, results will vary depending on the type peel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Potential_Risks_and_Side_Effects_of_Chemical_Peels\"><\/span>Potential Risks and Side Effects of Chemical Peels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chemical peels have a lot of great perks, but there are some potential side effects. Here&#8217;s what you should know before you start a face peel, and remember to always consult your dermatologist to determine if a product or treatment is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Chemical_Peels_Painful\"><\/span>Are Chemical Peels Painful?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you apply a superficial chemical peel, you might feel mild tingling or heat, and your skin may look a little red. Deeper chemical peels tend to cause a stronger stinging sensation, but even these peels should not cause any intense pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_Chemical_Face_Peel_Good_for_All_Skin_Types\"><\/span>Is a Chemical Face Peel Good for All Skin Types?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your skin is sensitive&nbsp;or particularly dry, a chemical peel can cause some irritation, and is not recommended. According to Dr. Jessica Krant, patients with dark skin who try deep peels may get <a href=\"https:\/\/artofdermatology.com\/do-dermatologists-recommend-chemical-peels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uneven pigmentation<\/a>. Also, chemical peels might not be right for you if your skin is prone to keloid scarring. You can reduce all these risks by selecting a superficial peel instead of a deep one, but when in doubt, consult a dermatologist first and always carefully review product instructions and warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Expect_With_a_Home_Chemical_Peel_Treatment\"><\/span>What to Expect With a Home Chemical Peel Treatment&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested in trying this type of skincare, here&#8217;s what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_Right_Product\"><\/span>Choosing the Right Product<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read ingredient lists carefully to find the best peel for your skin. Some contain chemicals like alpha-hydroxy acid that are well tolerated by most people. Another helpful ingredient to look out for is enzymes. Dr. Hadley King explains that enzymes are derived from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/enzyme-peels-5101236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">natural ingredients<\/a> like pineapple and papaya, so they&#8217;re often gentler and more hydrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Apply_It\"><\/span>How to Apply It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Applying a chemical peel at home is fast and easy. You just clean your skin and evenly smooth the liquid peel over your skin.&nbsp; Make sure to carefully follow instructions and warnings on the product\u2019s packaging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chemical_Peel_Aftercare\"><\/span>Chemical Peel Aftercare<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important thing to do after a chemical peel is moisturize. This helps to restore your skin&#8217;s moisture barrier and prevent irritation. You should also avoid excessive sunlight and make sure to always apply sunscreen when going outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rodan_Fields_Newest_Product_for_Chemical_Peel_Treatment\"><\/span>Rodan + Fields Newest Product for Chemical Peel Treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for an excellent at-home face peel, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/shop\/r-f-multi-acid-enzyme-peel-\/p\/ENPF030\">Multi-Acid Enzyme Peel<\/a>.
