What is the best chemical peel for enlarged pores?

Thank you for your question. Many patients have asked me this same question. Prominent and enlarged pores are a challenging problem to treat - they require a combination of various treatments like chemical peels, lasers and clinical facials. In addition, multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired result and also for maintenance of the result. Chemical peels can make your pores less noticeable, but they cannot reduce pore size. In my experience, i find that Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) peels are the peels of choice for prominent pores.
