The higher risk of postinflammatory dyschromias and abnormal scarring makes peels potentially disfiguring. Clinicians should therefore have a sound knowledge of the various peels available and their safety in ethnic skin. This article aims to review the background, classification, various preparations, indications, patient assessment and complications of using chemical peels in ethnic skin.What's already known about this topic?• Chemical peels are efficacious therapeutic interventions for many skin disorders.• Many peels exist; however, not all are safe for use in ethnic skin.• Darker skin types have an increased risk of adverse events from chemical peeling such as pigmentary disorders.
