Hi, I've had dark spots from acne scars for years since I was in middle school and I'm really tired of them, so I'd like to do a chemical peel but I'm not sure which one to do. I want results as fast as possible, but I wouldn't want my skin to peel off like a TCA peel would do because I can't really take time off from school.
