        Analyze your needs. This shouldn't be difficult because most people want to get a peel to address a specific problem with their skin. But, by clearly addressing what you would like to get from your peel--like clearing acne or reducing the look of fine lines--it's easier to shop for a product.

        Find out what active ingredients you should be looking for in your at-home chemical peel kit. Different ingredients will be used for different skin conditions. For example, lactic acid is used to address hyperpigmentation problems while salicylic acid is used for acne problems.
