Uses salicylic acid, alphahydroxy acids (AHA'S), glycolic acid , lactic acid. Glycolic facial peels are one of the most performed of this kind.

Phenol acts as an anesthetic, but sometimes general anesthetic or sedation may be offered if necessary. After treatment the skin will be red, swollen and crusted with a stinging feeling, and the skin will begin to flake over the next few days. After all the peeling is gone, the skin will be left with a pink colour similar to sunburn, that will fade over the next few days.
