In-office treaments with full strength glycolic and salicylic are routinely used to treat active acne and to lighten post inflammatory redness and brown blotches once the active is cleared up.
Chemical peels can be very beneficial for acne but please go to a Dermatologist who knows what they are doing! There are a lot of places out there who offer these chemical peels but do not have the required training to make them safe.
Some people with acne may benefit from skin peeling treatments accomplished by acid peels or microdermabrasion.

Yes some skin peels can be quite helpful for acne in particular salicylic acid or glycolic peels. Just make sure you are under the care of a skin professional who understands your skin type:)
If you are referring to Skin chemical peels, they can be beneficial for some people as it decreases the amount of sebum on the face and decreases acne. Visit your dermatologist for more information and treatment options.
