I went to my esthetician to have her look at my skin and do something to it. When I got there she told me about "The Perfect Peel" and it was expensive (more than I wanted to spend) but after talking to her about it for a while I decided (with all my troubles with acne) the small price was worth the potential benefits of trouble free skin.

So far I am on day 4 and am anxious to see the complete results!

Will post "post-peel" pics soon!

Update ALERT!

7/11/12: I've had a total of two peels so far and my acne is virtually gone. I get a little bit of acne around the time of my period but other than that I'm pretty clear. I really feel that this product made the difference. I will look to get another one soon so I can even out my complexion and get rid of scarring.

Great review?

A little bit of scarring but I'd say it was minimal since most of my acne was not cystic and so the scarring that I did get from acne was mostly from me just picking at my skin.

And yes, I love how fresh it looks too! Kind of what sold me :-)

DASRichard 25 Sep 2012

Absolutely! Did you have any previous scars you noticed a difference in as well or mostly the acne? I just love how fresh your skin looks! Congratulations it's nice to find a regimen that works for your skin!

Jeni in SD 25 Sep 2012

Her name is Carol Kanton and she works out of Dr. Larry Volkers office in Cave Creek - Look him up and call his office and they will be able to help you!

I've had a total of three so far (which can be recommended based on how bad your acne is, otherwise one peel a year is enough). Nov 2011, Feb 2012 and July 2012.

I love the results I've seen and it's pretty affordable for what it does.

DASRichard 25 Sep 2012

I live in flagstaff and would totally make the trip for such great results! Your skin looks fabulous! What is her shop name? And how many have you recieved do far? Thanks!!

DASRichard 25 Sep 2012

Hi, I ALSO live in AZ could you tell me where this was done?

Jeni in SD 25 Sep 2012

My est who is in Cave Creek did it! It's a great peel!

Try using Obagi Nu Derm with .01% trentinoin cream. Mix with step 5 blender. And get a chemical peel. You'll be olden!

I've been thinking about trying some of the Obagi products - I'll have to check them out! :)

Jen..........nice results!!!

Was this a TCA peel or a Glycolic Peel

Geewizz 11 Jul 2012

I believe the treatments are only a very temporary fix

Megan P (Community Manager) 11 Jul 2012

Yeah, as she mentioned, you have to have them done periodically...but for those of us who suffer from acne its well worth it to do things like this that work for us, even if "maintenance" is required.

Jeni in SD - seeing your after pictures makes me so happy for you!! I know firsthand how much having acne sucks! Yay for you finding a peel that works for you!

Jeni in SD 11 Jul 2012

Thank you Megan! I can't wait to get another one... It's difficult finding the right time with my job! What have you used to treat your acne?

Jeni in SD 11 Jul 2012

I do not think they are a temporary fix - I do however feel that diet and age can play a role in the matter however it's my opinion that proper skin care products and treatments make all the difference.

Megan P (Community Manager) 12 Jul 2012

There isn't much I haven't tried. Unfortunately tanning really clears my skin, but I don't do it anymore due to the amount of damage it does. So, I'm trying to find a better solution. I've been highly considering doing some chemical peels, but haven't fully decided on which one. My skin is pretty bad right now, so want to find something soon!

Jeni in SD 4 Jun 2012

Good!

Pheona 4 Jun 2012

Thnx for the information. Im gonna get one this month

Jeni in SD 4 Jun 2012

Yes, I had two treatments about 10 weeks aparts (you can wait as little as 4 weeks). I still want to get a third treatment to get rid of more pigmentation and scaring - But at least acne is gone!

Pheona 4 Jun 2012

Do you have to get more then one treatment?

BrittB 8 Dec 2011

Hi Jeni,

It's great you found a way to deal with your acne, although it was more then you wanted to spend it looks great so far. Your skin looks nice thus far for peeling. How did things end up?

Thanks,

-Britt
