At home chemical peels - are they any good?

I’m wondering if they are any good or if it’s something that should be done by someone who knows what they are doing?
Any recommendations for something that will help my dull aging lockdown skin?

I like this. I use it once a week. You do need to use a SPF face cream afterwards, I forgot last week and ended up very red and sore after our walk- it wasn’t even that sunny!

Yes, I use that Ordinary Peel too - it looks quite alarming (I like scaring my kids with it Grin) but it works very well!

Yes, SPF with any chemical peel definitely.

Thanks. I might give it a try, since it is very reasonably priced!

They recommend a patch test first and don’t apply to wet skin. I’m pretty sure I read an article that said, after a patch test, apply for 5 mins for your first use then build up by a minute or two each week up to the maximum 10 mins.

Thank you for your recommendation. I have started using the ordinary peel and it’s great
