No visible peel can be quite normal

Mary Lupo, MD answers: No peeling after beta hydroxy chemical peel

I've had no peeling (no results) after having a beta lift chemical peel. Today is the 3rd day. Is this normal? I have oily/acne prone skin.

Beta peels and other lunchtime peels may not cause a lot of visible peeling but will still help. The proof will be how your skin looks in 7-10 days.

Your doctor can make adjustments in the second of your series (most people get 3-6 over 4-6 months). How the skin is prepped and the amount of acid applied are just two of the many ways to vary the aggressiveness of light peels.
