The amount of peeling does not mean the peel is or is not working. The amount of peeling may vary depending on individual skin condition at the time of the peel and which strength of peel you have used. The skin is still sloughing off at an accelerated rate, even if you do not see much peeling, resulting in the improvement of skin tone and texture and an improvement of fine lines and uneven pigmentation. Some peels such as Glycolic and Lactic peels do not always produce visible peeling.
