ForumsAcne and its treatm...Hyperpigmentation -...Chemical peels Notifications Clear all Chemical peels Luminous Steel MemberMember0(@luminoussteel) Posted : 09/05/2016 1:05 am Why is it compulsory to apply Adaferin for atleast 2 weeks before a chemical peel? Or is it not compulsory? However the dermatologist said so.

I had to get my acne down as much as possible before I could get Laser done. Quote
