Chemical peels can help with texture but are not for facial redness
Chemical peels are an excellent tool to make the skin smoother, however, they are not generally helpful for redness. Get evaluated by a dermatologist to determine which would be best. Intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser treatments tend to work best for redness.
