A member asked:

Hello docs, is a chemical peel safe for children's skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No!: I wouldn't recommend a chemical peel for a child. Children have much more delicate and sometimes supersensitive skin. Also the "chemicals" in these peels may not be safe for children.

Dr Maes and another doctor agreed
