The 11 Best Chemical Peels You Can Do at Home

When you think about chemical peels, you might conjure up an image of Samantha from Sex And The City with red, angry and irritated skin. Luckily, chemical peels these days are actually very skin-friendly. In fact, some are so quick and painless that they can even be done in your lunch break. That said, if you’re not sure about getting an in-office peel just yet, you can also try one at home—which brings us to our top picks for the 11 best at-home chemical peels ahead.

1. NEOSTRATA Enlighten Dual Acid Brightening Peel
