The convex hull peeling of a point set is obtained by taking the convex hull of the set and repeating iteratively the operation on the interior points until no point remains. The boundary of each hull is called a layer. We study the number of k-dimensional faces and the outer defect intrinsic volumes of the first layers of the convex hull peeling of a homogeneous Poisson point process in the unit ball whose intensity goes to infinity. More precisely we provide asymptotic limits for their expectation and variance as well as a central limit theorem. In particular, the growth rates do not depend on the layer.
