Hi Garima,
Thanks for writing to us.
Chemical peels are effective in reducing mild to moderate grade acne. Results with peels are better if done in conjunction with medical treatment( oral and topical anti acne drugs). Peels as such do not make skin sensitive but should always be done when there is an appropriate indication. I would advise you to consult a dermatologist nearby to get your skin analysed so that a proper treatment plan can be advised.
Hope that helps
Take care
