A member asked:
Will glycolic peels work for hyperpigmentation caused by acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chemical peels work: Chemical peels, including glycolic acid, can be effective in treating the hyperpigmentation from acne. Depending on your skin tone, laser and ipl (intense pulsed light) are effective as well. However it's important that your acne breakouts are under control, otherwise you'll be chasing the problem.
