Chemical Peels for Keratosis Pilaris What It Is: When you go upwards of 10 percent salicylic or 20 percent glycolic acid, you're verging into peel territory. These are topical treatments applied in a dermatologist's office or salon, and usually consist of 20 to 30 percent salicylic or 40 percent glycolic acid. These high concentrations deeply exfoliate the skin, resulting in a much smoother, glowier surface. For an at-home version, try Skin 911 Face and Body Peel Plus Lotion, $85.
Who Should Use It: Those who haven't found OTC chemical exfoliators quite effective enough, and are looking for a more intensive treatment.
Pro Tip: It's important to remember that it takes 28 days for our bodies to reproduce the upper layer of skin. So if you don't see results from an OTC acid treatment overnight, don't skip directly to a peel. It takes a few weeks to see results.
