A trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel kit is a type of chemical exfoliant that removes the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal a new layer of fresher, more even-toned skin underneath.

The Amazing Peel Kit by The A Method uses a self-neutralizing chemical solution formulated to reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine lines, and uneven texture—delivering results similar to in-office skin treatments. TCA is stronger than many alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), like glycolic acid or lactic acid, making it effective for deeper resurfacing.

This at-home peel kit includes everything you need for a complete face peel experience:

• 10% TCA Pad Applicator (3 pads): A pre-soaked pad that ensures even, controlled layering of the TCA peel across the face.
• Bubble Cleanser: A unique, gentle cleanser that helps prep the skin by removing oil, makeup, and impurities—essential before applying exfoliating acids.
• TCA Retexturizing Cream Peel Booster: A cream-based exfoliant that supports deeper penetration of the chemical peel, helping loosen dead skin cells and smooth rough patches.

Soothe Moisturizer: A hydrating, hyaluronic acid-infused formula that calms sensitive skin and helps restore the skin’s barrier post-peel.

Yes, when used correctly, TCA at-home peels can be safe and effective. The Amazing Peel Kit is formulated to deliver professional results while being gentle enough for home use. Our self-neutralizing formula is easy to use and works best when applied in a thin layer.

If you have sensitive skin or a history of skin conditions, a board-certified dermatologist can guide you on whether TCA or another chemical exfoliant—such as glycolic acid peels or mandelic acid—would be more suitable.

We think The Amazing Peel Kit lives up to its name. It targets multiple skin concerns, making it one of the best chemical peels you can use at home for overall skin renewal:

• Oily skin: Helps balance excess oil by clearing buildup and refining pores.
• Clogged pores: Dissolves dead skin cells and surface debris, reducing congestion.
• Uneven texture: Smooths rough areas for a more even skin surface.
• Dark spots: Fades discoloration for a brighter, more uniform tone over time.
• Fine lines: Supports healthy cell turnover, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• Dullness: Reveals a radiant look by removing the outer layer of tired, dry skin.

Its active ingredients also prep your skin for better product absorption and smoother makeup application.

You can typically expect to experience redness and tightness within the first 24–48 hours, followed by visible peeling. The peeling process may last several days, and full results usually appear within two weeks. As your skin sheds the top layer, you’ll notice clearer, more even skin with improved tone and texture.

For optimal results, always follow the product’s instructions and aftercare guidelines, including the use of SPF and gentle moisturizers.

The Amazing Peel Kit is designed to be approachable for beginners yet effective enough for experienced users. Unlike higher concentrations used in-clinic, this formula strikes a balance—strong enough to target stubborn concerns but with a built-in neutralizer for safety.

Those new to chemical peels or exfoliating acids may want to begin with a gentler AHA like glycolic acid before moving on to TCA.

A single professional TCA peel can cost anywhere from $150 to over $300 per session. The Amazing Peel Kit offers a more affordable way to achieve similar benefits from home, making it one of the best at-home chemical peel options for cost-conscious skincare users. Each kit offers multiple treatments, increasing its value over time.

Most people use a TCA chemical peel at-home kit every 4 to 6 weeks. Overuse can irritate the skin’s barrier or lead to prolonged sensitivity, so it’s important to give your skin time to fully recover between peels.

To support smoother skin and avoid unnecessary irritation, don’t combine TCA with other strong exfoliating acids, including glycolic and salicylic acids—or treatments with exfoliating enzymes unless advised by a board-certified dermatologist.

After application, expect mild tingling, tightness, and peeling that begins within a couple of days. You may also experience redness, which is normal. Don’t pick or scratch—let your skin peel naturally to avoid disrupting the resurfacing process.

Focus on hydrating skin care products with key ingredients like hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and help ensure minimal irritation. Avoid sun exposure, skip exfoliants and other active ingredients (such as citric acid or retinol), and hold off on using peel pads or scrubs until your skin fully recovers.

Most people notice smoother skin and a more radiant skin tone once peeling is complete—especially if you’re managing concerns like dry skin or dullness.

While this peel is formulated to work on most skin types, including dry and oily skin, those with sensitive skin or deeper skin tones should approach TCA peels cautiously.

If you're unsure, consider a gentler chemical exfoliant such as phytic acid, fruit acids, or beta hydroxy acids like salicylic acid. Always start with a patch test and follow the product's instructions carefully to avoid irritation or chemical burns.
