FAQs
Are chemical peels safe?
Yes, chemical peels are safe when used correctly, especially those designed for at-home use. StackedSkincare's at-home chemical peels are formulated to gently exfoliate your skin without causing harm. It's important to follow the instructions for your skin type.
If you're new to chemical peels or have sensitive skin, do a patch test before applying it to your entire face. Be sure to always use SPF, as peels can make your skin more sensitive.
Do chemical peels hurt?
Chemical peels shouldn't hurt, but you may feel a tingling or slight stinging sensation during the process. This is normal and indicates that the peel is working to exfoliate the skin. StackedSkincare's at-home chemical peels are designed to minimize discomfort while delivering great results.
If you experience any severe burning or irritation, wash the peel off immediately and avoid using it in the future. Afterward, your skin might feel a bit sensitive or appear slightly red, but this should fade within a few hours. Apply hydrocortisone cream to calm the inflammation and use a cool compress for additional relief.
What do chemical peels do?
Chemical peels exfoliate the top layer of your skin, removing dead skin cells and helping new skin come through. Our multi-acid peel uses different acids together to target several concerns in one bottle, including aging, acne, dark spots, dry skin, and large pores. Over time, this can improve texture, soften fine lines, fade dark spots, and even out your skin tone. Along with our face peel, the TCA Multi-Acid Body Peel brings the same benefits from the neck down.
Are chemical peels actually effective?
Yes. Chemical peels are highly effective when used consistently and correctly. They help with concerns like acne, fine lines, and dark spots. Results usually become more noticeable after a few treatments, so consistency is key.
Can I combine peels with other skincare treatments, like serums?
Yes. That's how the Stacked Method works. Exfoliate first, then treat with a serum, then protect with a moisturizer and face oil. Your skin may feel more sensitive after a peel, so avoid retinoids right after. You can also dermaplane before your peel for both physical and chemical exfoliation.
What other skincare products does StackedSkincare offer?
Peels are part of a complete routine. Start with the Prebiotic Gel Cleanser. After exfoliating, treat with serums like the EGF Activating Serum or Advanced Retinol Serum. Then protect with the Microbiome Moisturizer and Shiunko Face Oil.
How often should I use a chemical peel?
It depends on the peel. The TCA Multi-Acid Face Peel can be used 3 to 5 times a week. The TCA Multi-Acid Body Peel can be used 2 times a week.
Want to use the body peel every day? Mix about 1/4 of the bottle into an 8 oz body moisturizer. This dilutes it so it's gentle enough for daily use.
