It’s bonus time on ShopCrazy! Aside from giving you a chance to snag the gift set above, we’re also featuring your most frequently asked skin care questions on this page, which will be answered by Clinique’s experts each week.

See below the skin care question for the week, this time answered by Tom Mammone, Executive Director, Clinique Research and Development.

Q. We hear the word “peel” bandied about in products, but also in treatments at dermatologists. What is the difference, if any, between a peel at home and a peel at the surgery? What is the percentage difference in terms of strength of ingredients used?

A: A true peel is much stronger and more invasive and that is why it is controlled by a dermatologist. At home products are designed to enhance your daily skin care routine and safely supplement any dermatological procedures in between visits. Also, while the results are not as immediate, we are seeing amazing results from at-home products. For example, when used for 8 weeks, our latest Turnaround products deliver radiance and smoothness that is usually only achieved by a light microdermabrasion—but with significantly less irritation and stress to the skin.
