Answer: Acne flare after a chemical peel As you are being treated for acne it is not unusual to have a flare at the beginnign of treatment. Are you under the care of a board-certified dermatologist? Acne is a chronic condition and usually requires more than just chemical peels to get under control. It sounds like you need prescription medication. Talk to your doctor.

Answer: Acne breakout after chemical peels
Unfortunately sometimes acne can flare up at the beginning during treatment with medicated creams, pills or chemical peels/microdermabrasion. I would speak to the dermatologist at the clinic and you would likely benefit from some prescription creams and possibly oral antibiotics. Also, depending on your type of acne, you may benefit from an oral contraceptive or isotretinoin, so see your dermatologist soon to avoid scarring.
