and for brown skin, what is the optiumum concentration to start off with to avoid any complications (hyperpigmentation)?
The Theraplex salicylic acid peel is my favorite peel, especially for active acne, active rosacea, and for darker skin with post-inflammatory hyperpigmented scars from acne. The company is based in Memphis and should be easy for your dermatologist to order.
I used to get the Physicians Choice Sensi/PCA Peel for lines and acne once a month. It did okay with acne but not nearly enough. I tried the 20% Salicylic acid peel and found it to be more effective with acne and I'm able to do it more often (once a week), but I'm wondering if it will gradually help with fine lines in the same way that the more intense peels do? Or are Salicylic acid peels only effective for acne?
I particularly like the results from Theraplex salicylic acid peels. I use these peels for acne, rosacea, melasma and photoaging. My main use is for acne, acne discoloration and rosacea, but it does do "double duty" to improve fine lines.
My dermatologist has recommended a 20% salicylic acid peel for my persistent clogged pores and oily skin. I've read that salicylic acid can bioaccumulate, leading to cancer, organ toxicity, etc. What do you think about the risks of an occasional 20% peel?
Salicylic acid is a safe and reliable peel for all skin color and types to treat may problems, but it is especially good for acne and rosacea.
