What is Acetone used for?
When you apply a little amount of acetone on your skin, you will see that it evaporates quickly and your skin is left extremely dry in that area. Due to this drying effect, dermatologists use it during chemical peels before skin exfoliation. Using acetone, they can first clean the skin to remove excess oil and fat.
