What is Chemical Peeling Face
a chemical peel specifically designed for acne-prone skin. It targets active acne, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin texture. Azelaic acid helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and diminish post-acne marks, while salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores to exfoliate and prevent future breakouts.
This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate acne, oily skin, or those seeking to reduce acne scars and prevent future breakouts.
