If you’ve been wondering if you can get a chemical peel if you have active acne, the answer is a definite yes! When your skin suffers from active acne blemishes, or even if you have scarring from acne that occurred in the past, getting a chemical peel is a great idea.
Here are four reasons why you should get a chemical peel if you have active acne:
1) Blemish Buster
2) Preventative Skincare
A chemical peel treats your skin’s top layer by dissolving its sebum. “This eliminates oils and dead skin cells trapped in the surface of your skin,” Kayla explains. In fact, cystic acne is caused by deep blockages of dead skin cells.
This is why getting a chemical peel is a preventative skincare measure – because your pores will be less likely to become clogged after you get a chemical peel.
3) Scarring Support
If you have active acne, chances are you have acne scarring. This is another way chemical peels help people with acne. The active ingredients in chemical peels help increase the amount of collagen your skin produces, which speeds the healing of scars.
4) Improved Skin Texture
“Getting a chemical peel also helps brighten and lighten the top layer of your skin, giving you a more radiant glow and reducing the appearance of blemishes on your skin” assures Kayla.
