Face Peels — Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose the right face peels for your skin type?

Selecting the best face peels depends on your skin's sensitivity and the texture you prefer. If you have delicate skin, look for gentle enzymatic options like the Cosmedix Pure Enzymes Exfoliating Mask. Stronger formulations containing acids provide deeper resurfacing for those who can tolerate more active ingredients. It's smart to start with a lower frequency to see how your skin responds.

What ingredients should you look for in effective face peels?

Effective face peels often rely on a combination of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to refine your complexion. You can learn more about how these active exfoliants work for your skin by reading our guide. Products like the Derma Made AHA+BHA Peel Pads combine these ingredients to smooth your skin's surface. These acids work to dissolve dull cells and clear out pores.

Where should face peels fit into your regular skincare routine?

You should apply face peels as a treatment step in your nighttime routine after cleansing but before your moisturizer. It's best to use these powerful products on clean, dry skin to ensure they penetrate evenly. Since they boost cell turnover, you'll want to prioritize sun protection every morning. Don't use them every single night.

Can all skin types benefit from using face peels?

Most skin types can see a brighter look with the regular use of face peels when chosen carefully. If you struggle with congestion, you might enjoy using a peel pad for a quick, effective treatment. Those who prefer a mask format might gravitate toward enzymes to gently polish the skin. Your skin will look refreshed and polished with the right pick.
