chemical Peel home kit

Depends on which one annied. I used to do my milder ones on a Fri or Sat and you flake rather than peel by Tuesday.

Either apple cider (best) or just white vinegar seems to work.

I Have bought some 30% Mandelic from ebay after a Salon used 40% on me after some microdermabrasion.

They left it on for seconds and it stung a bit/ tingled.

My skin is looking perfectly clear now.

I will do a patch test first before I cover myself in it. I am feeling a bit nervous using it.

Another tca around the eyes
Current look puffy and bruised lol

Did last night left on for 3 minutes as I have been using 2.5% retinol

Care same as last time
Nelson burn cream and white vinegar soaks (red light therapy several times a day)

Today I know what I will eventually look like
My eyes are very crinkled and dry lol
If it goes to plan today *eep* I should start peeling and be finished Tuesday

Started peeling in the corner of my eyes.
It's not as bad as last time cos I only did one coat (doing close to eye)
That's it then till winter.
Going to pick up some more sunscreen as I have enough for a couple of weeks then out. Looking at a neutrogenia one that gets good reviews

Anyone done a 50% Glycolic from SR? I'm doing 40% at the moment but results fairly subtle.

Well I have had 2 full rounds of the 20% and no effect….no peeling….no nothing…..what now?

I've had quite srtong peels done professionaly with minimal results, the first glycolic stung going on and had some peeling afterwards, the 2nd TCA didn't sting at all and the therapist was surprised there was no frosting, again minimal results. I think I must have tougher skin than it looks because I was expecting to have down time and lots of peeling to reveal bright fresh skin.
Just do peels at home now and save the money but suspect laser treatment might make a bigger difference:eek:

Its just a brown "liver" mark on each cheek i want rid of. The rest of my skin is all good.

Tca annied
You need to be careful with it though and sunblock everyday without fail.

I'd also do a patch test.
