S types chemical peels purchased administered without medical license, however people advised professional p dermatologist, plastic surgeon, otolaryngologist specific yp chemical p before procedure performed.

There several types chemical peels.

Alpha hydroxy peels

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) naturally occurring organic carboxylic acids glycolic acid, natural constituent sugar juice lactic acid, found tomato juice. T mildest p formulas produces light peels treatment wrinkles, areas dryness, uneven pigmentation . Alpha hydroxy acids mixed facial cream lesser concentrations p daily - regimen improve skin's texture.

There fruit acids: citric acids (citrus-derived), glycolic (derived sugar ), lactic (although derived milk, still considered "fruit acid"), malic (derived apples) tartaric (derived grapes).

Citric A: Usually derived lemons, oranges, limes pineapples. These peels simple effective, although incredibly invasive capable significant improvement treatment.

Glycolic A: Formulated sugar cane, creates exfoliating action. Glycolic peels y loosening p horny layer exfoliating superficial p layer. T p stimulates collagen growth. Hg strength peels g terms efficacy y irritate . There possibility reduce irritation. There newer Glycolic peels which potent & still irritate. These peels contain Strontium Nitrate. O Brand widely Refinity (70% Glycolic + Strontium Nitrate) Cosmederm (50% Glycolic + Strontium Nitrate)

Lactic A: T derived either bilberries. T p remove cells, promote healthier, softer radiant .

Malic A: T p yp mildly invasive p derived extracts apples. I p p pores, allow pores expel their sebum reduce .

Tartaric A: T derived grape extract capable delivering benefits above peels.

Trichloroacetic peels

Trichloroacetic (TCA) intermediate p peeling agent concentrations ranging 20-50%. Depth penetration increased concentration increases, 50% TCA penetrating reticular dermis. Concentrations higher 35% recommended because g scarring.
