How Long After Accutane Can I Get a Salicylic Gel Peel?
I finished a three month course of Accutane (80 mg) a month ago with great results and wanted to know how long I needed to wait before using a 20% salicylic gel peel. Thank you.

Salicylic peel
I suggest you wait at least 6 months before you consider any procedure that affects the superficial layers of skin including light chemical peels and laser resurfacing procedures. Although sal acid peels are among the lighter peels, if done too soon after discontinuation of accutane, you place yourself at increased risk of scarring.
Good luck.
