Hey I'm 27M Indian punjabi, I have heard alot abt 30% Salicylic Acid peel at home nd done some research about it, web says worthy for acne pores n scars. I have done my 1st patch test 3days ago for 2mins n 2nd patch test for 5min today. I'll use first time acid peel in weekends. How long shall I leave Salicylic Acid on my face n in aftercare. Shall I use HYALURONIC ACID SERUM (Hydraulic Acid+Green Tea+Vitamin C+ Jojoba Oil) n sunscreen cream on top for healing process. Anything extra care?
