Did anyone use this after the chemical peel?

I used it after a laser treatment (Fraxel & Gemini laser combo), and it felt very soothing. It did not irritate my skin, and helped it heal.

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.

Sorry, I never used the BHA+ peel, but I have used the HQ+ peel and this I think is weaker than the HQ+ peel but I think it is a better one overall than that since it acts on more superficial layers with the Lactic acid and deeper layers with the Glycolic acid so you are getting two for one.

It will eventually flake or peel. I've noticed when I do the chemical peel that in some area I peel faster than others and in the areas that I peel the slowest tend look leathery. Just be patient. Hope this helps.

Honestly no. But I used it so much that my skin actually hardened. I wouldn't recommend using this for long periods of time.

It does not effect fast. For myself, I still feel it is working after 8 minutes (a very little bit of hurt) Depending on your skin but for my experience is: Just apply very thin at the areas you want to peel. Wash it off any time you want. After applying a week, I feel it peels well. I am happy with the result. Good luck to you

I do and like the results! I make sure to apply a sensitive skin moisturizer right after it dries (one to two minutes).

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.

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.

I have applied it to my tattoos twice now, it had lightened it slightly both times, but it is going to take a lot of applications before they going to be really faded. It takes about a week between each use for the skin stop peeling. It makes for a good chemical peel, but if you are in a rush to get your tattoos removed, I would not suggest this.

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. :(

None. It was a good moisturizer. I did do an acid peel and mixed it with lotion and that had some peeling. This did not at all. It says it is strong but no peeling. I use this and a Beverly something acid 70%but I mix it with lotion and that has seemed to work well paired with this for minor tightening and peeling.

This peel is for people who are used to peels especially 10 or 15 percent strength glycolic acid. If you buy this peel PLEASE follow the directions to the TEE!! Do not leave the peel on any longer than listed initially and use a good sunscreen..... preferably spf 30 or higher or you will burn terribly in the sun. Also the longer you leave on the peel, the more it will frost and the darker the treated or frosted areas will be. If you decide to leave it on for 3-5 min before rinsing, take time off from work or you will have weird stares from people!

I think they mean to use it daily beginning 5-7 days before the peel. I loved the results so much that I use it every day now.

From my experience, this peel did lighten my skin. I did one patch area, I diluted the peel to approximately 30% and left the acid on longer while the skin frosted (for about a minute). Afterwards the area reddened and within a day scabbed. The healing process went rather fast 3-4 days, and when the scab dried off, the skin was lighter in that area, and exfoliated which was what I was expecting. I do not let the peel stay on to frost all of the time, and when I don't I do not get any dramatic color change, just a medium to light peel, that brightens the skin more than lightens it.

I did three layers and started peeling on day 3. Did you swell and turn red?

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.
