After a good deal of my own internet research I decided to get a 3 layer half strength jessner peel (7%) by an aestetition.
I chose half strength because I'm in work and school full time and didn't want to feel too embarrassed with the week of peeling. Also because I wanted to see how my skin reacted since I still get regular breakouts.
A little background: 25 yr old female, mild acne in jr high, severe acne in hs. It's been consistent but manageable for the past 6 years, mostly hormone and lifestyle related. Eating more whole foods, staying hydrated, and limiting alcohol has helped a lot. I've been using retin-a for 7 months with decent results, but still have scarring and regular breakouts. Also very oily skin; I use at least 6-10 oil blotters a day.
I'll be referring to the day of the peel as day one.
Day 1-3
Skin was dry and pink but nothing very noticable. It was nice to not feel greasy. Wore makeup (everyday minerals powder foundation) day 3 and it actually looked better than usual.
Day 4
First day back at work. Wore makeup and my skin seemed to get oilier than usual. My chin got pretty flaky halfway through the day.
Day 5-6
Still wearing makeup for work. Skin looks dry and a touch scaly but nothing too embarrassing; day 4 was the worst as far as noticeable peeling goes. Got a few very small pimples day 5 so I spot treated with retin-a. All but one went down.
Day 7
Exactly one week after the peel and I'm done flaking. My skin feels smooth and I think a little nicer. Results are not dramatic, as expected given the low strength. I have another one scheduled for 2 weeks from now. I'm going to attempt a full strength peel next time. I'm hoping that being consistent with these will give me bigger results after 4 or 5 peels.

Thank you so much 
I have really shallow ones that are visible in the light that cover my cheeks and forhead, and actually my pores didn't get like that until I had a severe breakout 6 years ago. I'm hoping that the pores and remaining red marks get smaller with more treatments.
Here's me with makeup on

Yeah I've probably been about the same from retin-a; definitely costly for just flaking. But it did give me peace of mind about the full strength peel I'm doing next. Plus, even though I knew my skin would look crappy all week, I still got thosenervous, "shit, now I just look worse," thoughts and had to keep reminding myself it would look better after. I might have panicked if I'd jumpedstraight to the full strength right off the bat.
