Jessner's Chemical Peel Kit Anti-aging and Anti-acne Skin Care Treatment Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was so excited to get this peel. I have really done significant research to find the best home peel. My dermatologist told me about 6 months ago that I would benefit from a Jessner's peel since it's a medium depth peel. I had asked for her advice as in my early thirties, I've experienced mild adult acne, acne scarring, mid-size pores, and fine wrinkles. However, all the local dermatologists including mine charged north of $100 per treatment. It just wasn't priority compared to other things until.... I found and decided on this product.
The price seemed almost too good to be true, but I thought I would give it a shot. A years worth of applications for less than $30? What?? Well, I applied the peel. It took two layers to frost. The first layer I already felt an immediate intense stinging sensation. Boy was I surprised but pleased (as I have had a peel before and I know what it feels like when it works). This was a little more intense then the lighter peels I'd tried before like glycolic peels at the derm's office. By the second layer, I was literally tearing as the stinging sensation intensifed. A handheld fan I had did relieve some of the discomfort and as time subsided over the 5 min so did the stinging. Redness, brown and light surface scabbing, and peeling occured in the first few days until now. I'm on day 4. I'm pleased so far. The instructions were very thorough. The kit is fabulous as it comes with a full size moisturizer and a trial size cleanser. A little goes a long way. I will update soon, but I couldn't wait to add my two cents. Oh and by the way, I did prep by using prescribed tretinoin two weeks prior which may be why I reacted quickly and sensitively.
Highly recommend!!
Update:
It has now been about 2 weeks since my peel was complete. The peeling lasted 8 days. I really think the tretinoin treatment helped which is why the 8 day downtime was longer than average. Believe me this is not something you can get by in public without being noticed. It took an additional 2 days for the dryness and flaking to subside.
However, I can definitely say that this process has tremendously improved the texture and condition of my face. I did have some deep acne scars that have lightened 50% and should disappear on the recommended peel frequency. My pores appear much smaller and less noticeable especially under primer and foundation. I still have the occasional zit, but the instructions are clear that this is normal. The difference is night and day. Even my husband commented that my skin looks really good. My makeup applies and appears very fluid and almost flawless. Before this, my skin's appearance was dull and therefore so was my foundation over it. The value is amazing, as are the results, and I plan to continue treatment through the remainder of the year.
