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 and use the right peel for your skin type.
If you're new to chemical peels or have sensitive skin, start with a milder option and 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 an Ice Roller for additional relief.
What do chemical peels do?
Chemical peels exfoliate the top layer of your skin, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote new skin growth. Different acids do different things, that’s why we have a multi-acid peel to treat most skincare concerns in one bottle, including aging, acne, hyperpigmentation, dry skin, and large pores. This process can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, fade dark spots, reduce blemishes, and even out your complexion. Beyond traditional face peels, StackedSkincare’s body peels and foot peels allow you to receive these skin benefits from head to toe.
Chemical peels are a great way to refresh your skin and achieve a smoother, more radiant appearance. Over time, consistent use of chemical peels can also help minimize the appearance of scars and pores.
Are chemical peels actually effective?
Yes, chemical peels are highly effective when used consistently and correctly. Regular use can help with various skin concerns, such as acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. For example, StackedSkincare’s lip exfoliator can gently exfoliate and hydrate dry, chapped lips, while the TCA Face Peel can help improve the overall appearance of your skin. Results typically become more noticeable after a few treatments, so patience and consistency are key.
Can I combine peels with other skincare treatments, like serums?
Yes, you can combine chemical peels with other skincare treatments, but it's important to do so carefully. After using a peel, your skin may be more sensitive, so it’s a good idea to apply gentle serums that hydrate and nourish the skin.
Follow up with moisturizers to lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier. To prevent irritation, avoid using retinoids immediately after a peel. You can also incorporate skincare tools for added benefits, for example, you can dermaplane and then apply the peel for both physical and chemical exfoliation.
What other skincare products does StackedSkincare offer?
In addition to chemical peels, StackedSkincare offers a wide variety of skincare products to complete your routine. These include:
