I'm 16 years old. Am I too young for a lactic acid peel?

Asked By:Anauticallife in Oviedo, FL

I have completely cleared my acne, however I've been left with a bit of scarring alongside some discoloration. Also, my skin isn't as "baby soft" as it used to be. I'd like to rejuvenate my skin, and improve the texture, as well as the tone. With that being said, being 16 years old, am I too young for a lactic acid peel, and if not what percentage should I go for? Would it be recommended to do this at home?
