A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses chemical solutions to improve the appearance of your skin tone and texture. Commonly used chemical solutions include glycolic acid, kojic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid or carbolic acid (phenol). 

 

Chemical peels can improve fine lines caused by sun damage and aging, acne, mild scarring, sun spots, age spots, uneven skin coloring, textured skin, and dull skin.
