I have medium brown skin, I am Black and Native American. I was wondering if the Jessner peel is as strong or effective as a glycolic peel at 70%.I just moved to Los Angeles, and I am looking for a new dermatologist who is VERY experienced doing peels on Black skin. I'm looking forward to your responses.
