What is the pH range for most chemical peels?

0.5-1.5
1.5-3.5
3.5-4.5
4.5-5.5

The correct answer is: 0.5-1.5

Most chemical peels typically have a pH range of 0.5-1.5. This low pH range helps to effectively exfoliate the skin by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, leading to a more thorough and rejuvenating treatment. Peels with lower pH values are considered to be more acidic, which allows for deeper penetration and more significant exfoliation compared to peels with higher pH values. Options B, C, and D have pH ranges that are higher than what is typically associated with chemical peels and may not provide the same level of exfoliation and skin rejuvenation as a peel with a pH of 0.5-1.5.
