I Tried an At-Home Peel With Brilliant Results

Obagi Clinical has been around for the last three decades, but the name may not be familiar. That's because the brand has mainly been used in professional settings. A few years ago, it created a lineup of clinical-forward products that you can buy over the counter at places like DermStore and Target.

I won't go on and on, but I will tell you its products are legit. Including one of the brand's more recent launches, the aforementioned peel. As the name implies, this clinical-esque formulation contains three key acids: salicylic (BHA) and lactic and glycolic (AHAs). The goal is to make pores look smaller, brighten dull skin and create a smoother, softer complexion.

You get four treatments for $145, which amounts to $36.25 per treatment. Which is way less than you'd pay to have a similar topical-style peel in a professional setting.
