As long as you aren't applying moisturizers or conditioners to the skin after washing your skin then you probably don't need the acetone. Acetone is used to remove the natural oils and greases and sun screens on the skin so the peel can penetrate more uniformly.

Applying acetone to the skin prior to a peel solution is the SOP (standard operational procedure) to "degrease" the skin so that the peel solution goes directly into the skin. I find it to be a bit harsh..instead I use Witch Hazel, (a natural astringent), it's mild and works just as well. Witch Hazel can be purchased at any drug store.
