peels for discoloration?

Question

im wondering if its okay to use at home peels for discolorations such as discoloration (flat and dark scars) in the body not on face?
i've tried vitamin e...for few months and dint work

Answer 1

what type of peel are you thinking of using??? a type of acid peel??? If so, use caution as these can sometimes increase the discolouration. Here is another option:

Vitamin C has recently found to be very helpful in lightening. Murad has a fabulous line of products for discolouration. One product: vitamin c infusion home facial kit is especially nice and works really well. I do facials and these products really work and are worth the money. Also, anything with hydroquinine and kojic acid lighten. Hydroquinine can irritate your skin so patch test first. There is a prescription called tri-luma that you can get from a doctor that works well too. It is about $100. for a small tube. Most lightening products work slowly over a period of time because they inhibit the production of melanin so you have to be patient with them. Good luck!
