TCA Chemical Facial Peel 12% Review

TCA Chemical Facial Peel 12%
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am 45 and have very light skin. This product removed almost all of my freckles and age spots and gave me skin that looks good even without foundation. It took away my large pores on my cheeks, and improved the small "chicken bump" texture I have under my eyes. All my wrinkles are not gone but they look softer and are less noticeable as the skin is softer and seems to "drape" better. The difference is dramatic. I have used this product 3 times. The first time I left it on for only 1 minute. The second time I left it on for 3 minutes. Both of these peels still gave me great effects (and left me wrinkled a peeling for a few days afterwards). The 3rd time I was more confident to use the peel like a professional would, layering the product by putting it all over my face for 3 minutes, applying a second layer and waiting 3 more minutes before applying a third and finally a fourth time in the few spots that didn't seem to frost over. You should know it hurts! At first my skin looked very red like a bad sunburn. Brown spots start showing up and continue to get much worse until the skin was very dry, taught, wrinkled and dark. This is best described as a layer of dark wrinkled leather.It is not pretty and it is not subtle. Plan to hide for a week! After 5 days I looked better and could return to the real world. By day 10 my skin was shiny, smooth, and amazing. I suggest starting off slow with this...you don't know how your skin will react and it is a very strong peel. I had done my research and so before doing the peel I had on hand skin neutralizer to stop the sting immediately after washing the product off, emu oil to keep the skin moist while it is healing, and copper peptide serum to help speed the healing. I saved several hundred dollars using this product instead of a laser peel and I'm very happy with the results.

Tru Solutions: Glycolic Acid 50% Chemical Facial Peel Kit (professional set) Review

I applied this product as directed and felt the stinging then removed it after 2 minutes as suggested. My face was a little pink which went away in an hour or so. My skin never peeled anywhere. A week later I tried again and left it on longer. Same thing happened a little pink and no peeling or even dryness occurred. I was hoping to save money with this product - however, off I go to the spa for a real peel. Don't waste your money.

Tru Solutions:Complete Glycolic Acid 30% Chemical Facial Peel Kit (professional set) Review

I compared this to many other bottles of Glycolic acid 30%, and this kit comes with a full bottle of the glycoic acid, plus a glycolic cleanser, glycolic toner, glycolic face cream and a fan in a nice zipper pouch. All this for the price of a bottle of 30% glycolic acid from other companies.
You can smell and feel the glycolic acid in the cleanser, the toner, and face cream. This really benefits the skin, preparing it for the peel and for care in between peels. I had the typical patches of dead skin a day or two after the peel, the cleanser, toner, and lotion helped speed the shedding and increased the benefits.
I have very pale skin, and felt starting with 30% was as strong as I could handle. Sure enough it stings as soon as you start brushing on the actual glycolic acid it self. Sitting by a small fan really helped. I used my cell phone timer, and was more than ready to rinse at 1 minute. I had a bowl of baking soda and water next to me which neutralizes the acid and stops the peel. The directions say it will sting more when you apply the baking soda and water, and they were spot on. (I dipped the brush in the baking soda/water solution and it fizzed!)
Then I just laid a cool wet cloth on my face after wiping off the acid on my face, neck, and hands. While moist I applied the face cream. No redness the next day. It's been a week, and just finished my 2nd peel. I see a difference. Fading a few darker freckles I wanted removed, more even skin tone, smaller pores and fresh looking skin. I can't wait to see the improvement at week 6.
There seems to be enough to do at least 6 hand and face treatments, maybe as many as 10-12. This is so much more effective than the spa peels I've done. I like being in control, and the whole kit cost less than 1 facial/peel at a spa or doctors office. It's VERY important you follow the directions, and have the baking soda water ready (the kit doesn't include baking soda, it's only 1.50 at the market).
I will absolutely buy this package again. I think I will give this as a nice holiday gift to my friends and ladies at work.

Jessner's Chemical Peel Kit Anti-aging and Anti-acne Skin Care Treatment Review

Jessner's Chemical Peel Kit Anti-aging and Anti-acne Skin Care Treatment
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.

I was not happy with this product. First, the brush head fell off the stem when I received it. It looked like it was glued on cheaply and hastily. The brush is also stiff and clumps in section thus not allowing a smooth application. Not happy at all.
