    I've ordered a 15% salicylic and some vitamin c serum, can't wait for it to arrive.


    I'm also thinking about the Clinique anti-blemish solution 3 step, anyone tried it?

    When are you doing the peel?

    Have you used the vit c serum yet
    .wait 10-15 mins after applying the serum before you put anything else on top!

    I did it last night, left it on a minute or so, my skin was sooooo soft afterwards.

    I haven't used the vit c yet, I was going to use it before bed

    I put the serum on, wait a couple of mins till my skin feels like it's soaked in, then apply the other creams. I don't think you need to wait 10-15 mins personally. However, it's up to the individual.

    In my kit it says the vit c cream is used on a morning but not the day you do the peel.

    No, there's plenty of scientific evidence to back up waiting at least 10 mins for the vit c to fully absorb before you start diluting it with moisturisers.

    Yes the vit c could aggravate straight after a peel. I usually apply the night after I've done one.
  • Fizzy, that's exactly what I've done, did the peel tues night and started the vit c last night. Didn't want to aggravate my skin straight after a peel
