An at-home peel can uncover brighter, more youthful skin without a trip to the spa or doc. Peels are intended to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, giving the face a smoother, more radiant appearance. When used correctly, they can minimize pores and even diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Our reviewers have tried and tested the following at-home peels. They rave about peels that brought out their skin's most radiant potential. Read what they have to say.

'm very reluctant to try glycolic peels because of the near-horror stories. I may try those renewing creams, though. Numbers 7, 6, and 5 sound great.

I've been eyeing that REN peel for awhile now. Guess now is a good time to go ahead and get it!

I have been on the search for a chemical peel product to use at home. I've considered going to the dermatologist, but have been hesitant because of the horror stories and the bright red skin and all. It's nice to know that I can purchase a product that has been tested and tried by other women. I will probably just shoot right of the top and go for the REN since it is rated No. 1. $55 is not too bad to try an at home peel. Overall, the term chemical peel is a little intimidating so we'll see how it goes.

Really liked that this round up included the best and the worst. I have been looking for a chemical peel and articles like this give me some great recommendations, and products I now know to avoid.
