Right now, I have awful skin. I'm almost 16 and I have problems with skin, Genetics. I'm so annoyed and pissed off about it. I have so many Acne scars on my one cheek and it was healing and didn't have a breakout on that spot for about a month, and now... I started to have break outs again. SO ANGRY so I bought Glycolic gel peel 35% off Amazon. I Just used it for my first time yesterday. Wasn't too bad.

It says I should use moistizer. I used Aloe Vera Gel after the peel, is that okay?

1. Can I use Aloe Vera Gel for a moisterizer?

2. Can I use benzoyl peroxide on my acne after I used it? (not right after, I moisterized it)

3. Can I use salicylic acid on my acne? Not after, like maybe 2 days after.

4. Can I use retin A, vitamin A and products that lighten the acne scars, pigments?

BTW, The questions I'm asking doesn't mean I'm going to use all at once. So I'm wondering, what is the best to apply on the acne/ acne scars after Glycolic Gel Peel.

Thank you so much, I really want better skin, I'm on summer break and my goal is to get better skin, I won't be going outside much. =( but hey... The ends justifies the means.


by the way I had a another account but am not using that one anymore so I copied and pasted this.

Hi vavier, I wish you luck with your glycolic peel. It was a good choice but the peel will continue to happen for a few days after so don't be alarmed. It will happen in the form of rough dry skin so keep moisturizing (I don't think aloe is strong enough). AHA creams are good, you may have to spend a little more money on a good one, so visit a pharmacy and ask the cosmetician what to use. I would wait a week to start using vitamin A, good idea though. Also, sunscreen are absolutely necessary. I would not use the peroxide.'
