One of the biggest complaints many people have is the look and feel of dry, dull skin.
Dry skin can exacerbate the look of fine lines and wrinkles and may highlight other skin concerns overall.
Luckily, there are options!
Two popular options that have proved successful are chemical peels and enzymatic peels. While each comes with their own benefits, many find that chemical peels tend to provide the most advantages in terms of helping to clear up the skin and revealing a more vibrant complexion.
This article will cover the differences between chemical peels and enzymatic peels, and will explain why chemical peels just might be the winner between the two options!
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are liquid chemical solutions that act as a skin exfoliant and are formulated for specific concerns. Each solution is applied onto the face to slough off deep layers of dry, dead skin over time.
Chemical peels are great for treating uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, age spots, acne, fine lines, and wrinkles.
What Are Enzymatic Peels?
Enzymatic peels are also liquid solutions, but are formulated from fruit enzymes or active ingredients found in fruits. The solution is applied onto the face in the same way as a chemical peel, but exfoliates at a surface level or on the superficial layers of the skin.
Enzymatic peels are often used to control acne and redness and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Chemical Peels Vs Enzymatic Peels
While both chemical peels and enzymatic peels have their pros, if you’re looking for a deeper level of exfoliation, chemical peels are the clear winner.
Chemical peels work to cleanse and exfoliate multiple layers of the skin, making them a more powerful treatment and more likely to provide better results. By penetrating deep into the skin, chemical peels may clear up more stubborn concerns and leave behind a clearer complexion.
Choosing enzymatic peels over chemical peels usually boils down to if you have sensitive skin, however, the majority of chemical peels can be customized by strength level to work with your specific skin type.
