I know with chemical peels the dead skin on your face starts to peel off, does this product do the same? do you actually see the dead skin?

No, didn't notice any dead skin. Didn't notice any difference in the look of my skin either. Looks the same. Maybe I am too old to be expecting something to happen.

For some, peels and laser work, for others, not. I had laser, and it wasn't successful on the spots that remain. Even though I have spots, my skin overall is in excellent condition, and I attribute some of this to Philosophy's Microdelivery Peel, Exfoliating wash, and the MW pads. Facial spots can really be a distress; I think I've gotten to the point where they're very manageable without me getting crazy over them any longer. Good luck!

Chemical Peels all have the same instructions, you cleanse your face before applying it. you leave it on for 2-3minutes then gently wash it off with cold water. If you have a neutralizer you add it on before washing it off. You DO NOT!!! go outside for 24 hours after applying a peel, also have sun screen/ Sun block on always. Now I don't know what your trying to get done. there are different uses for peel such as Acne, wrinkles, discoloration, dull skin ect. I'd suggest star out with exfoliating with a soap and exfoliating scrub then do a 30-40% Peel.

yes it is, I personally think you should go to a professional and get this done. I tried to do this at home and I left it on for 30 min and had to wash it off and it burned my face. This peel is very strong. I have sworn off of peels since. My face has since healed great. I use organic products now.

It resurfaces your skin! It about burned my face off so I'm sure it will help! Just really uncomfortable for a few days!

Some skin will experience peeling, which is the top layer of skin coming off. If peeling continues, then discontinue using the products...

it must peel a little as it is taking off the damaged skin, but it happens so subtle that you don't "see" any flaking skin at all! I wish I had taken before and after pictures!!

It is not a literal "peel". The instructions on the insert say to rinse your face after 8 minutes with "copious" (meaning a really large) amounts of water, so it's just a rinse, you don't have to peel anything off. Good luck!

In all the years I have used this I have only used it wet. I did find it didn't "work" when I had regular facials. I guess I did not have a lot of dead skin to remove. Make sure your skin is not sipping wet when you apply just damp. You don't want it to just slide off your skin. It needs to be able to penetrate hold to get at the dead skin.do one spot at a time,concentrate the effects.

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

must use regular and that's what I'm not doing. However, the longer you leave it on, the peeling reacts better. Must use something to help clear away the died skin. Try using Loofah Complexion pads. You may like it.

It's normal if you have used peels before. A friend of mine who uses Retinol A regularly felt nothing... I never peeled before, and felt it within one minute. Did you use a toner first? Or hot water to cleanse your face? This will help with the effectiveness. Try this:(it worked for me as my skin adjusted to the peel) before using the peel, first wash your face with hot water with a face cloth (be careful not to burn yourself); after, use a sensitive skin toner to deep clean; finally... peel away! *this is a home remedy... I'm not a doc or anything. But I do know this works. Well, it did for me. Tootles:) It's normal if you have used peels before. A friend of mine who uses Retinol A regularly felt nothing...

I don't know for sure, but from my own experience I have some white patches on my skin, and the product doesn't change it, it didn't peel the white patches and it doesn't take the white patches off, but it helped to peel and lighten the dark pigmentation that surround what I'll vitiligo area of my skin.

Not usually on the day that I use it. On the next few days I will get some peeling, especially around the mouth and nose. Sometimes it can be a little more than usual. It just depends.

I'm sure it's different for everyone, but mine only took a week or so to notice the difference. Beware, if one of the products starts to make your face burn or peel, it's probably not the cleanser - I don't use all 3 products anymore, just the cleanser and sometimes the stuff with SPF.

Hi Karen, it's only 20% blend of Alpha hydroxyl acids, glycolic acid and citric acid that helps exfoliates your skin. No redness, feels really good after the peel. I did not have any problem at all. I have very sensitive skin and did not have any problem at all. I really liked it! Hope I helped you a little bit.

Lol I have posted my whole skin care regimen which includes using this product along with others I purchased from Amazon, which totally helped me to clear moderately severe acne that I had been suffering from for over 10 years. Anyway, I guess it was too long to post or Amazon didn't like that, but to answer your question, I start with a clean and dried face before using this product and peel off after. You may rinse off any residue that's left after you peel it off.
