What is acid exfoliation?

Dr. Liu Wenmin

Acid peeling is a chemical exfoliation procedure, also known as chemical peeling. It involves using skincare products or chemical agents containing a certain concentration of acids to alter the skin's surface pH, helping remove excess dead skin cells and promoting normal skin cell turnover. This treatment can effectively improve issues such as blackheads, acne, whiteheads, and also provides some skin-brightening effects, achieving cosmetic benefits.

Although acid peeling offers certain aesthetic benefits, it is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with sensitive skin or those who have wounds or skin damage should avoid this treatment.
