Chemical peels are chemical solutions applied to the face which strip the skin of its outermost, damaged layer, revealing a more youthful, radiant and rejuvenating complexion underneath. Peels often contain glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid or carbolic acid (phenol), as well as other ingredients like extracts and antioxidants.
