depends what you’re trying to target. if it’s just texture and dullness, start mild, something like The Ordinary AHA/BHA peel (30%/2%) once a week max, it’s solid and cheap. if you’re going after acne scars or pigmentation, Mandelic 20-25% or Glycolic 30-50% works better, just go slow and patch test. don’t jump straight to high-concentration TCA or phenol peels unless you’ve done lower ones first, those can mess your skin up bad if your barrier’s not conditioned. also, aftercare matters more than the peel itself. Gentle cleanser, no actives for 3-5 days, moisturize like crazy, and sunscreen every single day or you’ll undo everything.

something gentle like cerave hydrating or la roche posay toleriane is perfect nothing foamy or stripping after a peel. for moisturizer, either cerave healing ointment if ur skin’s really dry after, or vanicream/eucerin if u want something lighter. keep it super simple for a few days, don’t touch any actives till ur skin’s back to normal.
edit: sorry for responding late bro, was busy with school shit
