How do you neutralize this peel? With baking soda and water like glycolic peels?

To be honest, I really don't know.. Guess it depends on ur skin sensitivity.. In my case though, I only use water and it seems to work just fine..Alma answered on September 28, 2014

Yes you use water and baking soda with this peel to neutralize it. However I don't know exactly how much water and baking soda to use bcus I had no instructions on that.

It says with just water. Water is all I used. Unless your skin is really sensitive, I don't think the 15% is overly strong, but don't use it over your whole face unless you want to have your whole face w/peeling. I only used it in certain spots.

I've been using the 40% for about a year now. My skin rarely peels or flakes afterwards. I use a baking soda mud to neutralize the acid and it kind of acts like an exfoliater.

No, it did not. This solution is very strong, it can only be left on the skin for a short time and you should have a neutralizing solution handy. Instruction on the box suggests a baking soda and water solution. I actually liked the 50% glycolic better.

When it's off and cool you make a paste out of baking soda and lightly scrub it with your hands. Wipe it all off with a damp towel and let it air dry for 24 hours

It is a strong peel, I recommend that you do half peel and half water. I use 1 tablespoon of peel and 1 table spoon of water and dilute it, then apply it with my finger tips to my face and I use the left over on my knees and elbows :-). My skin is very sensitive so I leave it on for 3 minutes then neutralize with baking soda. I hope this helps.

Yes, I just used water, then I used a mild cleanser, just to be sure it was off. It really peels and entire layer of skin, but get ready to look completely wrinkled in the area you apply it to, until it starts to peel. It took mine about 7 days to peel! I didn't want to go anywhere, it was like 90 yr old skin, until it peeled.

i did not have that problem. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? Or else I would try a solution of water with vinegar and baking soda swished around. Just an idea.

Add baking soda to the vinegar along with boiling water. Let soak a long time. Might have to do this a few times. Good luck. The discoloration will not disappear completely, but it will take away some spots and fade the rest.

Try running a vinegar/water solution through it and then the baking soda. That may take care of it.

I used a blow dryer to get it off. Just blow onto an area for a few minutes then slowly peel stopping and blowing the as you go to warm up the glue. It did leave some residue which has gradually washed off with hot water and soap.

I don't have a solid answer, but you might want to try ice cubes or even vinegar. I think Acetone will remove those nasty stickers, too.

Hey, knowing a little chemistry will help you with this. You don't want to dilute the strength but you can buffer it several ways. The easiest and least expensive is to use good old fashioned H2O. Before you apply the acid, rinse your face and leave it damp. The water will act as a buffer. You can also accomplish a similar result by just cutting down the amount of time you leave it on your skin. If your skin becomes too red after a use, take some baking soda and mix with water and apply to your face. Baking soda is a base that will neutralize any remaining acid. As your skin becomes "used to" the acid, you'll find you can leave it on longer and longer and will need to leave it on longer to achieve the same results. Hopefully, you're not starting out with 70% acid.

I used goo-gon (A YELLOW COLORED OIL LIKE SUBSTANCE AVAILABLE AT MOST STORES IN HWDE DETP.)- it is an adhesive remover. Put a little on and wait a few minutes and it disolves the glue.

I was rinsing off with cold water, but have recently switched to neutralizing with a simple baking soda+water solution. I make a thick paste, apply (just beware, it will sting as it neutralizes), then rinse. When I was only rinsing with water, I had to rinse for such a LONG time. However, the baking soda paste makes rinsing/cooling a breeze! No need to spend money on an expensive neutralizer! Good luck, Michael!!

Trichloroacetic acid is technically self neutralizing as it decomposes to other compounds during reaction with the skin, open air, and heat. Neutralization can usually be sufficiently accomplished by simply washing the application site with water & soap. We do advise on having a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water on hand prior to application just in case it needs to be neutralized quickly. To make a basic and effective neutralizing solution, you may mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda into one cup of water.

It's not baking soda you use, but washing soda, by Arm & Hammer. You can find it in the detergent aisle of the store. I use a couple of tablespoons per item.
