chemical Peel home kit

Devil are you using a product with retinol too? These are helpful with pores too.

The derma roller/ pen looks interesting. I've been thinking about one too. Helps build collagen and aids better absorption of actives.

I've ordered some bits from sr skin. They haven't arrived yet probably because of easter:o. Wanted to try them out while I've got a few days off.

The Vit C serum causes my skin to burn and turn red, lasted about 30mins, then the moisturiser was a bit bally, not absorbing well into the skin, again after 30mins all was well, OK over the Easter break but would need to get up considerably earlier than usual to accommodate the settling issue before make up, looks really good though.
I have a slight shine on forehead but I don't mind this as my skin is normally so dry, calmed down a lot when I had finished make up.
Will keep you posted as I go on DMMDI.

fizzy..I'm only using the products that came with the collagen kit at the moment.

vicky..are you leaving it 30 mins between applying each product? I also bought their post peel lotion which has an SPF in it, so I have that to apply aswell. It sounds like we need to get up at the crack of dawn in order to apply all the creams lol.

Ha, ha, yes an hour earlier at least! I'm using their products but after the moisturiser had absorbed I used Nivea Q10 on top as I know my make up wouldn't settle on their one alone.

Well did my 4th peel yesterday & woke up to a huge spot on my chin. Can't understand why I'm still getting spots, it's a complete mystery. I've even avoided wearing any face makeup since I started the routine.

Hi. Just done my 6th week of glycolic peels. Also easing myself into retin a..Using it twice a week, upping it to three times a week from next week. I'm getting the odd stubborn spot, but apart from the two spots, my skin looks great.Wish I'd started this years ago.

Can you use the retinol with the peels & the vit c serum? Also, what benefits are there?
