A member asked:
Could the chemical peel be useful while the pimples still appear? i think peeling just causes redness and no improvement occurs!

Possibly: Chemical peels can help to dry up pimples and unclog the pores which cause breakouts. However, some individuals may not respond to chemical acid peels and get further inflamed and irritated and actually make their acne worse. If your skin gets worse, see a dermatologist or skin expert to get proper advice about treatment.
