Derms reveal the best chemical peels for sensitive skin, and share the most important practices for avoiding irritation.
According to Dr. Allawh, patients with sensitive skin should avoid botanical ingredients in chemical peels.
Certain botanical ingredients may be irritating and may contain a natural fragrance that may trigger certain skin allergic reactions.
The first, in-office, means going into your dermatologists office and receiving treatment.
At-home chemical peels will only affect the most outer layer skin.
Prep your face by cleansing your face with a gentle, hydrating cleanser.

Dr. Allawah says, I recommend theCeraVe Hydrating Cleanserbecause its rich in hydrating ingredients such as ceramides.
After youve applied the peel, be sure to give your skin extra hydration to prevent irritation and redness.
Lastly, apply sunscreen.
Your face will be more sensitive to the sun afterward, Dr. Peredo explains.
This product is helpful for anti-aging, unclogging pores, and uneven complexion, says Dr. Allawh.
It works on the skins outer layer to remove dead skin cells, leaving your complexion brighter.
