Finally had to pick between chemical peels and microdermabrasion for my acne scars

Ngl, I spent like 3 months going back and forth on this for my own face. Chemical peels seemed scary with the downtime and flaking, but microdermabrasion felt too gentle to actually fix deep marks from old breakouts. I went with a series of 4 light peels at 20% glycolic over 8 weeks. First session was rough with redness for 2 days but by week 4 I saw way more texture improvement than I expected. Has anyone else had to choose between these two and regretted one more than the other?

Man, it's just acne scars. Peels work fine either way.

Did you try microneedling or just stick with peels?
