Anti Aging Skin Tips

anyone out there had chemical peels on face for acne scarring or pores?

Any experiences helpful. I'm considering one when i can get up the money for it. I have mostly some enlarged pores, with very light wrinkles starting around eyes and mouth. I'm mid thirties

1. A girl I lived with did it. It was pretty insane to look at... but seemed to make her look better the weeks after the "leper look" was over. Then she got the smart idea of doing it herself because if you looked at her just right from like 2" away you could still see an indention. Without going into detail she screwed up. Not advised.
2. I had a series of mild chemical peels (fruit acid base, but I forget the name). I LOVED the results. I had stopped taking birthcontrol and my skin went crazy and nothing, not even proactive helped. When the acne got bad enough that i started noticing scars i tried a chemical peel under the care of a Dermatologist. I had peels every 6 - 8 weeks for about a year and have had perfect skin since. The chemical was only on my skin for 5 minutes, removed, followed by an icewater mask to soothe. I noticed results after the first session. Like i said, i had a mild peel, so afterwards only thing i had to make sure to do was wear an SPF moisterizer, which i do anyway. No recovery time.
