Good evening. A facial cleanser based on salicylic acid is generally used for oily and acne prone skin. It may dry out normal skin. If your skin can handle it, it should suit your cleansing needs. Just a reminder, that any face wash used will have no effect on the size of the pores.

Yes, you can use demelan lite for dark skin and spots but it won't be of much use for chicken pox scars.

You ca n use them safely Mr. Sami. Using that face wash may cause little dryness of skin, for which you can apply moisturizing Lotion ( NOT CREAM ) if you feel it is too dry.

You can if you have a very oily face. Use tretinoin cream in small amount for short duration and apply a non comedogenic moisturiser.

Hello Madam, May I know what percentage of the peel was used. Glycolic acid peels often resolve with redness rather than peeling of skin. And as far as salicylic acid peels are concerned, they usually begin between 2-5 days, so it may still happen. But a lot of it happens at a microscopic level so it may not always happen visibly. You should apply the recommended sunscreen daily and try to remain in the shade during peak hours of sun. You should also apply the recommended moisturisers.
