Would a Light AHA Peel Be the Safest for Brown Skin? and are there any differences, being a male, vs. female skin in the results?

A: Lactic acid or Sal Acid for dark skin

The important thing is that any procedure that produces inflammation can induce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown spots) in the skin, so any procedure will give you some risk of brown spots. I like Lactic Acid or Salacylic Acid peels in darker skin patients, but also utilize a high quality hydroquinone and start with lower concentrations. If you have darker skin, you will have a slower improvement, but excellent improvements can ben make in skin tone and texture!
