Chemical peels are a type of skin care treatment that use a chemical to remove the outer layer of the skin. They can be used on any part of the body, but are most commonly used to treat scars, wrinkles, and other blemishes. There are several different types of chemical peels, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

The most common type of chemical peel is the acid peel. This type uses an acidic solution to remove the top layer of skin. Acid peels are sometimes used to treat acne, sun damage, rosacea, and other skin conditions. They can be uncomfortable and cause some minor skin burns, but they are generally safe and effective treatments.

The second most common type of chemical peel is the glycolic acid peel. This type uses a glycolic solution to remove the top layer of skin.
