Is 18 Years Old Too Young for a Chemical Peel? I want to do a Derma Peel but some people have told me 18 years old is too young for a chemical peel. I have acne scars and a couple blemishes that come up often. My esthetician recommended the Derma Peel and she didn't say it would be harming for my skin. Will it leave a negative effect on my skin? Is it bad to do it at this age?

A: Chemical peels can be very helpful in acne in people of all ages.

What to Expect from AHA Chemical Peel? I have used a very thick creme over the winter and it created bumps under my skin. Not acne or blackheads, it is much deeper under the skin. Will the peel help with that? - How long before and after can I tan? I have read you are supposed to protect you skin from the sun. - Is there any do and don't for before and after the peel? Sorry for all the questions, never had one done.
