Azelan RX includes azelaic acid, which has recognised anti-inflammatory activity, alongside exfoliating ingredients. However, a chemical peel can also cause irritation, so the potential benefits must be carefully weighed against the skin's sensitivity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eShould I stop using retinol or exfoliating acids before treatment?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCertain active ingredients may need to be temporarily discontinued before and after a chemical peel to reduce the risk of excessive irritation. This includes retinoids, exfoliating acids and some acne treatments.
