So I had to choose between a chemical peel or microdermabrasion for a client with sun damage...
I went with the peel after checking her Fitzpatrick type, and the results after two weeks were way better than I expected. Has anyone else had a similar choice with a client who had stubborn pigmentation?

Which peel did you use? I had a great result with glycolic!

Stick with the glycolic if it works for you, but I honestly had way better luck with lactic acid. Way gentler and still gave me that smooth glow without the angry red reaction. Salicylic is definitely a gamble for sensitive skin, I've been there too.

Oh man, I used a salicylic one and my face looked like a pizza for a week. I mean, it peeled, just not in the way I was hoping. Maybe my skin is just super dramatic about everything. Glycolic sounds way more chill.
