When Do I Start to Peel After a Dermatolgist Office Administered Mild Salicylic Acid Peel? Hi, I received a mild salicylic acid peel 24 hours ago. I do not feel any tightness and my skin has not started to flake yet. When will it start to flake and for how long? Thank you!

A: when does the peeling begin after a salicylic acid peel?

In my experience people tend to peel 1-3 days after a salicylic acid peel. It may not be dramatic as this is a light peel. The skin might just feel tight and dry.

Can I Shave After a 20% Salicylic Peel? Is it ok to shave the day after you have a 20% Salicylic peel? Or will the skin be too sensitive?

A: shaving after a salicylic acid peel Although a salicylic acid peel is generally a light peel I always advise patients to use caution with respect to shaving right after. If the skin is sensitive after the peel, try to avoid shaving. If the skin is not sensitive it's okay to shave during the first week after a salicylic acid peel but do so gently. Dina Strachan, MD.

Does Salicylic Acid Help to Brighten Skin Tone? I have good skin texture, it's pretty smooth. Since I have hormonal acne, I go in stages where my skin is beautiful but then I get 2-3 pimples that leaves dark spots and it takes a few months before they go away. I have Black skin and currently use Retin A and a Benzoyl Peroxide cleaner and Lactic peels or Glycolic peels on occasion. I was thinking of replacing the Glycolic peel with Salicylic acid to prevent acne and brighten skin tone and getting rid of dark spots.

A: salicylic acid peels to brighten skin Salicylic acid peels can be an excellent choice for acne and brown blemishes associated with acne. Salicylic acid is supposed to be more attracted to the oily hair follicles (pores) where acne starts v. glycolic acid. Salicylic acid peels are particularly helpful in treating uneven skin tone and as considered to be one of the safer chemical peels on brown skin. Dina Strachan, MD. NYC dermatologist. 212-627-1004
