I have red spots on my face as a result of mild acne. Would I benefit from a chemical peel to lighten these spots? (Photos)

Asked By:honeyandcoco in Australia, AU

I suffered from mild acne, it was not severe by any means, but it did leave me with some red spots and although my skin is healthy and I look after it, it can have an affect on my complexion and how makeup applies. I am considering laser treatment down the track to help with the small ice pick scars and the red spots that are left over and overall just my skin in general, but in the mean time, would I benefit from a chemical peel? Should I consult my doctor for a skin lightening cream?
