14 days
average cell turnover rate for teenagers

list 6 benefits of peels and chemical exfoliation
1. improved texture, barrier function, and moisture retention. 2. increased CRF, hydration, and intercellular lipids. 3. reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and surface pigmentation. 4. skin looks and feels smoother and softer. 5. improved skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, clogged pores, and dry skin. 6. potentially stimulating elastin and collagen production
