At-home chemical peels have become increasingly popular, promising brighter, smoother skin without ever leaving your bathroom. While these products can be a helpful addition to your skincare routine, they aren't the same as receiving a professional peel.
If you're wondering whether an at-home peel is enough or if it's worth investing in a professional treatment, here's what you should know.
What Is an At-Home Peel?
At-home peels use exfoliating acids—such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid—to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture over time.
Because they're designed for consumer use, these products contain lower-strength acids and are intended to be used regularly over weeks or months.
An at-home peel can help:
- Brighten dull skin
- Improve skin texture
- Reduce the appearance of clogged pores
- Support your overall skincare routine
While effective for maintenance, results are often gradual and depend on consistent use.
What Is a Professional BeautyRx Peel?
The BeautyRx Peel by Dr. Neal Schultz is a professional glycolic acid peel performed by Blushington's trained Pro Artists.
Designed by renowned dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz, the treatment gently exfoliates the skin to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion in less than five minutes.
With little to no downtime, it's an easy way to refresh your skin before a special event—or anytime your complexion needs a boost.
Benefits include:
- Brighter-looking skin
- Smoother texture
- More even-looking tone
- A healthy glow
- Better makeup application
- Improved absorption of skincare products
BeautyRx Peel vs. At-Home Peel
Although both treatments use exfoliating acids, there are important differences.
BeautyRx Peel
Best for:
- Immediate skin refresh
- Dull skin
- Uneven texture
- Fine lines
- Preparing for an event
- Professional skincare maintenance
At-Home Peel
Best for:
- Weekly skincare maintenance
- Supporting professional treatments
- Mild exfoliation
- Long-term skincare routines
Think of it this way: an at-home peel helps maintain your skin between professional treatments, while a BeautyRx Peel delivers faster, more noticeable results when you want your skin to look its best.
Which One Produces Faster Results?
One of the biggest advantages of a professional BeautyRx Peel is speed.
The treatment itself takes less than five minutes, and many guests notice their skin appears brighter and smoother immediately afterward.
At-home peels often require repeated applications over several weeks before noticeable improvements become visible.
Is a Professional Peel Safer?
Both professional and at-home peels can be safe when used as directed.
One advantage of receiving a BeautyRx Peel at Blushington is that your treatment is performed using dermatologist-developed products by trained professionals who can help ensure you're getting the most from your service.
Professional treatments also eliminate the guesswork of selecting products and deciding how frequently to use them.
Can You Use Both?
Absolutely.
Many skincare professionals recommend combining professional treatments with a consistent at-home skincare routine.
A BeautyRx Peel provides a fresh starting point by removing dull surface skin cells, while your daily skincare products help maintain your results between appointments.
Together, they can help support healthier-looking skin year-round.
