Chemical Peels for Sensitive Skin If you have sensitive skin, your doctor can customize a chemical peel just for you. "It's about tailoring the peel to their needs, plus utilizing a low-dose steroid," says Dr. Pollei.
Victoria, our fourth and final peel candidate, was also the slowest to see a difference. She spends a lot of time outside, and she has some stubborn pigmentation -- but she also has sensitive skin and wouldn't be able to tolerate a superdeep peel. "She had some sensitive skin right out of the gate so the first and second peels, I didn't hit her very hard, but the third was more aggressive," says Dr. Pollei. And when someone with sensitive skin has a more intense peel, the result is redness. "The redness lasted for five to six hours -- I looked like a tomato," says Victoria.
