Products vs. Treatments: Which Is More Effective?

In-office chemical peels performed by a professional are usually a safer option, as long as they are done right since there tends to be more control; at-home peels can be abused, which can hinder the skin’s health. “I usually don’t recommend peels for home use—people over peel and damage the skin. But I would recommend this for those with acne on the chest or back, or other body breakouts. It would be a great way to clear it up fast,” says New York aesthetician Joanna Vargas.
