My pick of the best

Sensitive skin

The azelaic acid in this is a gentle exfoliator that refines texture, helps fade blemishes and eases redness. Paired with niacinamide to reduce pigmentation and calming centella asiatica, it’s a hero for a delicate dermis. Beauty Pie Happy Face, £60 (£22 for members), beautypie.com

Pigmented skin

As we age, we’re prone to sunspots and melasma. Using this powerhouse combo of 12% mandelic and glycolic acids for 15 minutes, five days running, helps reduce those stubborn marks. Dermalogica Powerbright Dark Spot Peel, £79, dermalogica.co.uk

Dull skin

This may look like you’re giving yourself a Kardashian-style vampire facial, but it’s an effective blend of glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids that will leave skin smooth and glowing. Just don’t use more than twice a week. The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, £8.90, theordinary.com

Dry skin

There’s no denying it’s pricey, but this ticks all the boxes. A blend of AHAS and BHAS for surface and pore-level sloughing, it relieves tight skin, reduces fine lines and clears pores – a winning trio. Murad Resurgence Replenishing Multi-acid Peel, £82, murad.co.uk

Breakout prone

The 2% salicylic acid in this unclogs pores, reduces their appearance and combats blackheads and breakouts. There’s 1% hyaluronic acid to avoid dryness too, but this isn’t one for parched skin.
