I have only recently tried a sample of a peel. I would like to begin adding it to my regime. I am over 50, what do you suggest I start with ?

Start with Perfect Image 30 percent glycolic acid peel. I hope you love it too!

Hi, I am not too sure of your skin type, but I would start with just doing a sample patch first, leaving it one the least amount of time as suggested on the box. If you don't suffer any problems, then you can work your way up to using it once a week. I would do mine at night to allow for any redness to subside by morning. Also remember to check against the other beauty products in your regime. Some of the different acids should not be mixed or they could severely irritate your skin. Please do your homework before using with retinols and other acidic products! Good luck:)

I agree with the other responses. If you're satisfied with the sample, I suggest you work your way up starting with the 30% peel.

I have been using glycolic acid peels since my mid 20s & am now 38 for "preventative" measures. I used neutralizers for awhile then found out that some baking soda mixed with water IS a neutralizer! This seems to work for me & saves me $$ as well. Never had a problem. Feel free to speak to a pro though. ;-)

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 don't know. There is a sample kit you can order to try the various ones. I have good skin but it's"mature"skin - I am 52. Combo skin all my life but not too oily or too dry...pretty normal. I use the gold and it's the perfect weight.

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.

Probably! I am 45, have combination skin and live in very dry Arizona - and it is great. Putting those factors together should give you some idea of if it would work for you. (taking into account weather in your area and such). I look young, my skin is great, and I started using creams regularly day and night just before I was 30 and it has paid off! I think if I had started with Burt's I'd have been even that much better off because I've tried a lot and for the last 5 years it's been Burt's and I am hooked!! Part of it may be the mentality, I feel it is better for my skin without all the chemicals, and I have a great mindset about it. Anyway, good luck! I am rambling :) Probably!

Easy to use, you just need to make sure you dilute so you do not burn your skin, especially if you have never had a TCA peel before.

I've just started using it. I do like the serum. My skin has been dry ever since my dermatologist prescribed me a face cream for so dark spots on my face.It has really seemed to help with the peeling. I guess time will tell.

Awesome for oily skin. Slight white cast, but it makes for such a good primer, foundation just glides right over it. Makes your skin like silk. Coola has a tinted version now too if the white cast is a problem, ( I just got a sample from birchbox.Com and I LOVE it ) or just mix some foundation in if you're in a hurry! :)

I mix the serum with Michael Todds Knu anti-aging serum (1 drop each) and get better results in with either alone. Use a moisturizer after for sure :)

I am 57 and have only tried the Vital C Hydrating. I like it especially combined with the SPF 50 moisturizing lotion.

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!

Always use a weaker strength and wait a month. Everyones skin is different. Don't be in a rush. Watch skin videos on youtube to give you tips. The secret to using these "acids", is to keep your skin moisturized after. If you do this the skin will peel faster. If it is not, then consider a different acid strength. Always test on a small area off to the side under clothing. I happen to like this company and the quality of their product. I would get it again. It only takes a little bit so my bottles of different strengths are lasting. Good Luck.

imo this product is more for improving skin texture? I think I would try a fading cream instead for age spots although this may have some effect.

I have used good moisturizers since I was a teen ager. My skin is very dry. I absolutely don't think it would hurt if you started using something that states is for an older age. I believe the earlier, the better. This is a very good product and the price is excellent.

Hi, I'm 60 too but my skin isn't too damaged. I don't think the Tria does much. I used it for 12 weeks and can't see much difference in my face. So, I think you might be disappointed. You might want to look into something more serious like the dot laser or the co2 laser.
