Question

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?

This should be done by a board certified professional to avoid any long term issues. There is risk of scarring and change in pigmentation if not done correct. Best, Dr. Emer.

I agree salicylic acid is good to get rid of mild to moderate acne. But it is mandatory to prime your skin with retinols and a brightening cream 15 days before a chemical peel of any strength and composition. And it is not advisable to do a chemical peel at home without a medical supervision. Hyaluronic acid serum and a broad spectrum sunscreen are also equally good to soothen and to protect your skin post procedure.
