“Salicylic peel for mild acne (forehead, nose and cheeks)”
Cost: $200Pain: Mild
Salicylic peel satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Salicylic peel provider: Name not provided
Why: I dint get any results.
Seeking help:I had mild acne. Mainly forehead and nose. Very rarely on my cheeks. I had 4 acne peels(salicylic peels). The personel at the beauty clinic removed the comedones with the white head remover. Now acne on my forehead has increased a lot. After the 3rd peel, the doctor suggested I take Isotroin-20(Isotretinoin 20mg). I ve been taking these tablets for 20 days now(one each day). I dont see a reduction in my acne. I am get painful big pus filled pimples on my forehead now and some on the edges of my temple. Does this medicine have any side effects in the long run? Is removal of comedones a regular process in the Salicylic peel? Is there any other chemical peel I can try?

I wish there was an easy answer to give you but there are a lot of different acne treatments out there. Here's a partial list: Acne treatments
I hope this helps answer some of your questions (no clue about the medication question - sorry!).
