An acne buster is a chemical peel which is a cosmetic treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing the outer layers to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process reveals new, regenerated skin that is typically smoother, clearer, and less wrinkled. Chemical peels can vary in strength (superficial, medium, or deep) and are used to address various skin concerns such as active acne, acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. They are usually performed by dermatologists or licensed skincare professionals.
