When using this as a pre-peel treatment, the directions say "use 5-7 days prior to a chemical peel." Does that mean I should use it once, a week before I do the peel? Or use it daily for the week leading up to the peel? When using this as a pre-peel treatment, the directions say "use 5-7 days prior to a chemical peel."

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.

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.

Hi Nancy, I was peeling because I used it and went into the sun and the peeling was very minimal. I would recommend using it once a week for a month and increase usage according to if or how much you may peel. The best thing is to exfoliate in the shower and then use it at night. Hope this helps!

I use it weekly in the winter on top of my moisturizer as a final step. Like the other responder said, use just a small amount and press it into your skin. I haven't used it so far it in the summer as our weather is very sticky.

I use this product once every 7 to 10 days and allow my skin to rebuild collagen..... Also I use this product 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off....I back off during end of spring and summer.because of warmer weather and the sun rays. Please wear a sunscreen of no less than 30. I also use a mixture of aloe, shea butter, and coca butter after I neutralize peel. I hope this helps you...

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.

This is a serum that you use daily after washing and toning. I would not use it directly after a chemical peel; you should be using extra gentle moisturizers like grape seed oil only until your skin heals. Then you can resume using this daily.

1) you need to use it on wet skin for exfoliation. 2) do not over use. Just go over your face one time. 3) I would not use it more than twice a week. Once a week is plenty.

Hi, on my bottle there is no expiration date, either . I am used to peels of many kinds, usually any bottle opened, after 6 months the alcohol or water, whichever the base of the acid is, will evaporate and the peel becomes stronger. So, be careful! If you use the peel daily in a professional setting, then no worries. If this is for personal use then you shoud purchase a smaller bottle. Hope this was helpful. Angela.

hi, it says to wait 4-5 days between peel treatments, but in those 4-5 days, what do you do? do you just moisturize your face and put on SPF?

Thank you everyone for the swift answer! Will you all recommend I use it just once a week than? I initially did not mind the peel, as it is actually clearing the dark marks of my pit and what not, it just got bad it all.

You should stop for a few days before using this product, then resume again a week to 10 days after the peel has been done. Thank you!

Once every 2-3 weeks depending on skin sensitivity. This is a level 2 peel, so it should be used after a level 1 or greater has been used successfully.

I use for about 1 minute. You do not need to use it every day. Only when you need it, such as before a makeup since the effect is instantaneous.

It depends on a couple things. How much product did you apply? One sheet, two sheets. Obviously the more u apply the longer it lasts. It is also important to keep your skin moisturized and exfoliated. 7-10 days is what you'll get. Its worth it.

There is no need to preseason the peel before use. Simply use, clean with hot water, and dry thoroughly. Some food grade mineral can be applied after use to help add a bit of water resistance.

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.

About 10 minutes is good. Daily use would be best. It also helps reduce redness from breakouts.
