Does your face have to peel after a chemical peel?

Yes, they will hurt after about 5 minutes, but then stop after and hour or two.

It depends on whether you are talking about an over the counter preparation, a prescription perparation you do at home, or a chemical peel done at a cosmetic clinic. After the latter, which is the most powerful, your face will peel. This is the quickest way to have a blemish addressed, but also the most obvious to the outside world. The other two types may or may not lead to actual visible peeling, but also take longer and may not completely remove the problem in one or two treatments. If you are concerned about how you will look right afterwards but also want a fast route, you could look into laser peels.
