TCA chemical peels provide an intermediate level of improvement at an intermediate cost and recovery period.

A Glycolic Acid Peel is another chemical peel commonly used to treat sun damaged skin. The Acids typically used in this type of peel are Natural fruit acids, otherwise known as alpha hydroxy acids. Glycolic Acid peels will lighten brown spots and even out other irregularities in pigmentation to give the skin a more uniform color.
