Dina D. Strachan, MD answers: Chemical Peel for acne scars on dark skin?

Hi, I have dark skin and would like to do a Chemical Peel. I have never done this before but have excessive acne scarring and dark circles. Can you tell me what product(s) I need to purchase and what %, etc. I need? Thanks!!

First of all, if you are concerned about acne scars, then you must first address your acne. This is best done with the help of a board-certified dermatologist.  Chemical peels are an excellent addition to acne medicine, especially for the scars (do you have actual scars--holes--or blemishes--brown spots)?
