How does skin type influence the choice of chemical peel?
Skin type plays a big role in determining the choice of chemical peel. For oily/acne-prone skin, salicylic acid and mandelic acid are ideal. Dermatologists recommend glycolic acid or lactic acid for dry skin. Mandelic acid peels are a gentler option for sensitive skin without causing significant irritation.
Darker skin tones require gentler peels to avoid pigmentation. Hence, dermatologists often use superficial or medium-strength peels cautiously.
Dermatologists always perform a patch test to determine your skin's response and tailor the peel accordingly.
