Jessner's at home Chemical Peel

I am new to at home chemical peels, at least anything beyond percentages and concentrations that are more similar to strong chemical exfoliants being advertised and marketed as peels. With that being said I am a skeptical consumer and not easily impressed. After using this product today I feel very confident in backing it, and if you don't have a reaction to this product I would wager to guess you skipped using alcohol prior to application or did not do enough layers. I do not have very sensitive skin despite having taken high doses of accutane for six consecutive months a few years ago. I am a pretty oily person and am already back to starting to have extremely congested skin and clogged pores which is why I have decided I need to do a series of chemical peels to give my skin a purging period to refresh it. I did three layers and I can say I definitely frosted and I think I may have a high pain tolerance but beside a mild burning/stinging sensation it really wasn't too bad and it was NOT the kind of stinging where I can tell whatever I am using might not be good for my skin. It felt more like when you are putting aloe vera on a sunburn, and it's what my skin looked like during application and after which is actually what everything says I should expect. I frosted as well. It feels like it definitely is effective without being unpredictable or caustic, for example i have little picking marks where the skin is broken and it didn't burn them or anything. I will try to remember to update this review after a week to let you guys know if I peel or not. Also as another reviewer stated, the seller seems really sweet and takes pride in maintaining customers which is evident in the thoughtful packaging and cute little freebie microdermabrasion crystals and the very coherent and thorough instructions for the peel.UPDATE---DAY two and I can definitely tell my skin is going to peel nicely like it should in a sheet. I only applied this to my forehead, and ignore my crazy eyebrows. I stupidly decided to dye them post-peel. First pic is forehead relaxed, second is crinkled. You can tell all of that skin will come off in a nice even way. My forehead does not ever look crinkly like that, normally. Very happy!!

High quality product. Does a great peel alone or really deep peel with TCA. I recommend this product as a professional skin care specialist for decades.

ANYTHIUNG skin obsession produces is GREAT especially the alpha beta peel.

OK first, I just turned 57 at the end of July, I am a white female that has very oily skin with very large pores and also have some acne scaring but not too bad. I have been doing a 40% Glycolic or 30% Salicylic peel every week for a couple of months now and have also done 1 15% TCA peel just around my mouth because I have lip lines and very large pores on my chin, I was too afraid to do my entire face with the TCA, I didn't feel I had enough experience yet with the peels but it turned out well so next time I will do my entire face. Anyway, I had heard that the Jessner peel was a good peel and can be just as good a TCA peel but much less pain so I did my research and settled on this peel. Now I am not saying this peel is good or bad because I am no expert on peels by any means, I am just sharing my experience. First I washed my face with Neutrogena gel soap then used 90% alcohol to degrease, I applied the first layer and it stung a little but not too bad. I waited for 5 minutes then applied a second layer, now I will say a do have a very high tolerance for pain and the second layer did sting a little more, I waited 5 minutes and did the third layer. It was stinging but I could tolerate a lot more but decided to stop there because I had never done this peel before. I neutralized with water and baking soda and my face was very red and shiny so I thought this was going to be a great peel. I put aloe vera gel on my face and also Cerave cream. From there applied aloe vera gel and face cream for days taking good care of my face also with 30+ SPF l, I am on day 5 now and have not peeled and doubt I will this far out. I really don't see any positive changes in my skin yet so I don't know if this peel is going to turn out to be a good peel for my skin or not. I will say with all the research I did it was my expectation that I would peel and did not. I realize each person as their own unique experience so next time I think I'll try to do five to seven layers and see what happens then. If anybody has any comments about this to let me know if I did anything wrong or what I can do to make it better please do. As far as my review, I will say not what I expected, like I said I expected to peel.
