Question

Im really hoping to lighten my skin by about three shades permanently. Is that even possible? And do chemical peels actually help with skin whitening? If so, which one should I consider?

Chemical peels can help in skin whitening by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin. One of the best chemical peels for skin whitening is the Glycolic Acid peel. It is effective in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. The recommended dosage for Glycolic Acid peel is usually 20-70%, depending on your skin type and the severity of pigmentation. It is important to consult with a dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel treatment to determine the most suitable option for your skin."
