Ladies, we have sooo many acid products out there! It makes me confusing soo many level.
Since i have some hyperpigments around my eyes.. i've looking for the solution, and it always give me so many different acids that i have no idea what to try this time!
So I found this that can help us!
Your Options in Chemical Peels
There are very minor peels and there are deeper, more serious, peels requiring sedation and extensive recovery time. We will discuss the available options today so that you may make a well-rounded, informed decision. These peels can be used not only on the face, but on the neck. chest, back, arms, hands, etc. Anywhere you wish to rejuvenate or improve your skin.
Alphahydroxy Acid: These peels help with fine, superficial wrinkles, sun damage, unevenness, white and black heads, pimples and splotchiness. These peels can also improve dryness and dehydrated skins. They aren't very invasive and provide mild resurfacing results. They produce a mild rejuvenation without the extended downtime of a more invasive peel.

- Fruit Acids: There are five main fruit acids: citric acids (citrus-derived), glycolic (derived from sugar cane), lactic acid (although derived from milk, this is still considered a "fruit acid"), malic (derived from apples) and tartaric (derived from grapes).
- Citric Acid peels: Usually derived from lemons, oranges, limes and pineapples. These peels are simple and effective, although not incredibly invasive or capable of significant improvement with one treatment.
- Glycolic Acid Peels: formulated from sugar cane, this peel creates a mild exfoliating action. Glycolic acid peels work by loosening up the horny layer and exfoliating the superficial top layer. This peel also stimulates collagen growth.
- Lactic Acid Peel: An in-office 70%or less alphahydroxy facial peel to remove dead skin cells, and promote healthier, softer and more radiant skin. This peel is derived from either sour milk or bilberries. Cleopatra was said to bathe in asses' milk.
- Malic Acid Peel: This peel is the same type of mildly invasive peel derived from the extracts of apples. It can open up the pores, allow the pores to expel their sebum and reduce acne.
- Tartaric Acid Peels: This peel is derived from grape extract and is capable of delivering the same benefits as the above peels. Have your skin technician determine which is best for your individual needs.
