You might have a sensitivity/alergy to it. I have never experienced a negative reaction with it, and none of my massage therapy clients have ever reported a problem.

All i can imagine is that you have a sensitivity to the oil as it is quite potent as an essential oil. Ive not had any such problem. Sorry this is not much help �

No and it burns my eyes. What good is a moisturizer that you can't put around your eyes? I only used a couple of times. I use Dr. Denese hydroshield serum and moisturizer, which I love.

Its been a while since I've done this peel, but its definitely not too strong. It sounds like a high concentration though. I remember leaving it on for like 15 minutes and it not burning much and not getting much peeling. More like an exfoliation more than anything. I wouldn't dilute it, personally. Now the TCA peels are the strong ones! Be careful with that acid :-)

No, it feels like putting water in your eyes...but it DOES NOT WORK! I have used mine twice and now it's just sitting there. But it doesn't sting on burn at all.

Leave it on for 3-5 minutes. You need to feel a significant tingling for it to be working. Gently tap your face(with all your fingertips) while its tingling to assist in the uncomfortable burning sensation. It sounds like your 1st peel didn't do anything so go ahead with another.

My skin is fairly dry, however, I found that applying moisturizer prior to application made my face fell greasy. I apply directly after cleansing my skin.

My mom uses it, and she has no complaints of burning. she says it works fantastically, and she sees improvement in 1 week. I'm no expert, but if there are no other issues other than the burning which goes away after the moisturizer and you do see improvements then consider to keep using it.

It totally changed, I used it for years so I instantly saw a difference. I usually mix a bit with my makeup and my old regenerist would glide beautifully. This new one immediately left itsy bitsy particles like when the skin peels from a sunburn. That was odd. It went right back to the store. I'm searching for a new cream.

I use an oil free moisturizer or sunscreen first then apply with my fingers. A little goes a long way and the warmth of your hand helps it seem to melt into your skin. :)

It burns if your skin is dry, cracked or sensitive. It works so we put up with the stinging and it's only when the skin is broken or cut, cracked, etc.

Really no idea. I assumed it will last a really long time since I just add a few drops to my moisturizer(in my palm without contaminating the dropper tip, pat to blend,and apply. I will treat it like any oil, store in a cool place- my bathroom is on an outside wall and tends to stay cool. If and when it gets an old oil smell,I'll discard it. I'm thinking that won't happen b/c it is pure. Heck, I'm guessing it will last for a couple of years!!

I have never had it burn. I think the important thing is to make sure you clean your nails and cuticles with a nail brush and warm soap and water to make sure all the nail polish remover is cleaned off and the sooner to get the acetone off your hands the less is absorbed into the system. The only think I can think of as the cause of the burning is that the nail polish remover is trapped underneath.

Please be careful using this product!!I called allergen. Only Dr's should sell this! I was burnt! I have very tuff skin too!

I would put a few drops on a q-tip and apply it directly on the tag and try to avoid the skin around it. If your skin is sensitive, be sure to dilute this more than you usually would because this is a hot oil and it can burn you.

I use a drop at a time on my finger and rub it under my eyes around my lips and on my forehead. after a few minutes I then apply my night moisturizer. I am noticing a difference around my eyes the most. I see a slight difference around my lips and forehead. I like it so far.
