It has often been applied to remove imperfections from the skin, including scars, wrinkles, and some, as a treatment option for acne and skin discoloration.

They exist as deep, medium, or light peels, depending on the quality of desired outcomes as well as skin needs. However, peeling increases cell renewal, thereby resulting in the formation of collagen; hence, it should not be carried out without a plan to manage peeling.
