A chemical peel for rosacea would not be my first choice for rosacea.  I would recommend using a pulse-dye laser, such as Candela's V-beam.  It may take more than one treatment, but you should receive a good result.

Dear Kasia1969,
A good peel for rosacea acne would be a Salycilic peel, make sure we are gentle not using too many layers. Multiple treatments would be necessary for protecting our skin from any further flare up. You will also want to minimize any flare ups by minimizing spicy foods, excessive heat exposure, sun, ect.
The exact customized treatment depends on the individual as well.
Best of luck with your treatments,
Dr. Mahajan

Thank you for your inquiry!  Mandelic Acid and Lactic Acid chemical peels are generally safe to use on patients with Rosacea.  However, there are other effective laser treatments such as the V-Beam Candela laser that are effective in reducing symptoms of Rosacea.  Be sure to go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation to determine the best treatment choice for you!
