I have peeled my lower back, it's leathery and brown, and won't peel/flake. (Day 7) I have peeled in the past in other areas with no issue. Advice?

Try scrubbing NOT TOO HARD just normal .. more often that certain area with a soap and a scrub (dove soap) moisture and helps the dead skin fall off faster

Its been a while since I've done this peel, but its definitely not too strong. It sounds like a high concentration though. I remember leaving it on for like 15 minutes and it not burning much and not getting much peeling. More like an exfoliation more than anything. I wouldn't dilute it, personally. Now the TCA peels are the strong ones! Be careful with that acid :-)

It hasn't peeled until now, even though it is wet quite often. I wipe it once a day, maybe every two days to avoid the water to soak into the wood.

the backing peels off..i hope you have decent fingernails..that would make it much easier than when I had to peel it off

I'm not an expert ,but do have a background in physiology. So I am going to say no, since there was no peeling,and I can't see it getting to the dermal layer of the skin. Sorry!

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.

Been a while since i had it. Pretty abraisive. All surface area was the same courseness all over it. Turned my skin red when i wasnt gentle with it, but even gentle scrubbing will irritate the skin a little. Maybe thats how theyre supposed to be.

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

Test it first. If you use a lot, it will darken the leather but it seems to return to the original color in a few days.

If you still have the solution you can try. Mine is starting to peel up from the corner now so I may be trying to re-apply mine as well.

Hi Elizabeth, Everyone's skin is different but it really helped my back acne and scars on my back from previous breakouts! My back is almost flawless after less than three months of use.

What I usually have happen is a few days later.. Some flaking and dryer skin, it will lighten any brown spots from the sun also. That is a slow change but it does work. Some people sound like they will do it several days in a row. I usually do it for up to about 6 min and then wait several days. If it's your first time, I would wait and see how your skin does in a few days. Does that help?

What you can do is try a small spot on your back without diluting it to see the results. If you find that it is harsh to your skin you can dilute it but won't work that well. I'm sure it will be fine since I have the same skin as you.

the colors of dye are not liquid they are more like a paste. Unless the surface of the leather is actually split or peeling you may want to try something else.

No groove lines but plenty of nicks. My xxf also had bumps all over it which after 12 hours of working on still wouldn't hone smoothly much over the xf grit so I wore them down with another xxf diafold that I had. This helped with the bumps for sure so now other than being scratched up from the wear down has a relative constant honing resistance to it. I had another diafold that had the machining lines in it on the xxf side and you could feel the zzzz of them when going across the surface. Dmt said that it was defective and replaced it for free. If you don't feel the lines then it should be fine. No groove lines but plenty of nicks.

Saddle soap followed by something like neatsfoot oil with help keep the leather pliable and cracking less but nothing will heal them. For cleaning, like to bring back their original color, I've never had much luck.

No flaking. But it suffered through lots of wear and tear of travel over the 18 months or so. Leather edges were starting to peel away. getting Finally replaced it with the same item. I'm very satisfied.
