hi..thanks for the query
You are on the right path. Glycolic Peels are safe, convenient and effective treatment for reducing tan/lightening of skin tone.It should only be performed by qualified and skilled dermatologist to ensure safety and efficacy.Please ensure you are applying a broad spectrum sunscreen during and after the procedure always.
You can take oral Vitamin C capsules 1000mg along with this treatment.
Hope this is helpful.Take care!
