Why this site is not a list of peels
Naming the agent tells a patient almost nothing about the decision in front of them. What decides the experience is how deep the peel goes, how the skin has behaved after previous injury, how much visible healing the reader can absorb, and whether the problem lives in the surface of the skin at all. Those are the questions this site is built around.
What that changes about the writing
Every guide here prices a peel in flaking days, missed work, uncertainty and risk rather than in peel names. The recovery guide describes the fortnight including the stage nobody mentions in a consultation. The pigment guide says plainly that skin which darkens after injury is the skin most likely to darken after a peel. The alternatives guide does not treat lighter options as a stepping stone, and the candidacy guide explains the cases in which the correct advice is not to peel.
How it is reviewed
Content is medically reviewed by Ke He, MD, head of skin and laser aesthetics at Chongqing West District Hospital, and the review date appears on every article. The site names no product and no device brand, quotes no dosage and no price, guarantees no outcome, and states plainly that flaking is the mechanism, that pigment change is a genuine risk in either direction, and that the change is long-lasting rather than permanent.
What no website can do
It cannot tell you how your skin will heal, whether your pigment will behave, or whether what bothers you is a surface problem at all. Those answers need an examination and a history. Read this site to arrive at that appointment able to ask better questions, not to arrive at a conclusion without it.
