Asked By:Kaylee143 in Wilmington, NC

I'm a 15 year old girl with very fair skin. My acne is under control but I am left with acne scars and redness. Every day and night I use Murad acne solutions and Murad post acne pigment lighting gel. They seem to be working but they aren't getting rid of everything. I was wondering if a chemical peel would be the best thing for me? Also, am I too young? Thanks!
