It has now been a week since I did the first application and as the product noted the peeling started on about day 5. How long will the peeling last?

I did mine on March 10th & still no peeling. I took off my nail polish & showered before I used the solution just as the directions said. I won't be using the product again. �

Mine started peeling at 5 and continued for 7 more days. I did not do any extra soaking, just my daily showers

It can last as long as two weeks. Soaking your feet each day will speed the process and shed even more dead skin.

I would estimate about 7-10 days, depending on how much skin needs to be exfoliated..

About a week to ten days for me! It seems like they peeled longer the first time than the second time.

Well the first to days I applied it each night after I washed my face and I waited 15 min for my face to relax after the shower. I put a good amount onto a cotton ball. And applied it like the directions said. On the third day I could feel my skin where the acid was peeling my skin. It was pretty neat. Once the dead skin fell off. I reapplied each night till I would see the next day it peeling my skin again. And just applied it like that there after.

Hi there..actually, I don't ever leave it on for it to get red...For me, I leave on for approx. 10-12 min. I've been use to this and I am Hispanic. I tend to wash with cool water and I can tell rather quickly I have a 'glow'. Now, about the 2nd or 3rd day, I am peeling just a bit. Not a lot, but a little exfoliation does take place. I hope this works for you. In fact, I have one more application and I need to order some more.

I didn't have this problem! They have an order of which side to peel off first and stick on then another you peel of after it is on and then it's done I'm sorry if this isn't helpful!

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. :(

I used it 2x a week before using the peel. I start the week using the treatment on Monday and Thrusday let my face breath and use the peel on Sunday.

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.

It stings for sure. You definitely want to make sure not to do ANY exfoliating or scrubbing/ rubbing of the area you plan to peel for at least 48 hrs. My only advice for minimizing the stinging sensation during the peel is to use a fan to keep you skin cool and when you rinse, use cool water (which will still sting a little) and follow up with a neutralizer. Fyi; the irritation only lasts for as long as the acid is on your skin and maybe a few seconds after its rinsed off. It subsidies fairly quickly. The results are well worth it!!

Its a wet apply. Because it was my first time using this...I took it to Best Buy and they put it on for me. There are some bubbles left under the screen, but she told me to leave then alone and they would disappear. Took about 3-4 days. It has been a great shield. I lug my Ipad everywhere. After watching her...I did our Iphones myself, but her corners are better on the Ipad. They did not charge me at Best Buy, but I understand they can charge for the service. Go at a time when they are not busy.You really soak the screen and the shield with the solution they give you. Put it on and wet the outside of the shield as well. Then use the scraper to keep smoothing out the bubbles Its a wet apply. Because it was my first time using this...I took it to Best Buy and they put it on for me.

The first one I put on peeled the first day. I had cleaned the screen with eyeglass wipes prior to sticking it but apparently it was contaminated. The second one I wiped with the same cleaner and stuck it and its been on for a couple months with no sign of peeling.

Yup! I've been using for almost 6 months and I just noticed that my nails are peeling again and I have to apply it (whole nail for me) twice a week. But I haven't noticed them getting any less "hard" or strong.

Ruslan: there should be a piece of paper inside the box which very clear and detailed instructions. Typically this product is applied with cotton swabs, qtips or a fan brush. If this is your first time using s glycolic acid product I'd only do one to two layers and leave it on no longer than a minute or so. You can work up to leaving it on for about ten minutes total with five layers but listen to your skin on the first application. The recovery time is very Mininal for glycoic. You'll notice some redness and red splotches on some parts if your face that should only stay for about 30-40 minutes after you are done. You will notice small flakes appear on your skin around 3-5 days after. Make sure to use moisturizer during the first 2-3 days after the peel.

A clean substrait is extremely important for a good outcome using this product. My advice is to start with a clean surface. Strip away the old material. Also a rubberized seal coating will also extend the life of the peel and stick.

It depends on where you used the peel. 25% should theoretically peel your face. However, it will not work to peel any other part of your body. For your face, it should be 4-5th day peel and last until the 7th day or so. 25% is a very low strength peel. However, it holds less risk of scarring your face. Good luck.
