I have given myself several 30% TCA peels. Let me stress though, that I have had a dermatologist give me glycolic peels yearly since I was 27. I am now 46. I also have used retin-A off and on since I was 18. I have educated myself on the use of peels, have tried lactic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, all in different strengths. For me, personally, 20% salicylic and 30% TCA are the ones I get best results with. I just completed a total face and neck 30% TCA peel, with double application under my eyes. The results are amazing. Down time is about 5-7 days and ALWAYS use SUNSCREEN! Even in the dead of winter. You get more sun damage in a year walking to and from your car and doing your daily routine then you would a 2 week vacation in the tropics in total sun. Your new, peeled skin is delicate-treat it as such! I easily pass for 28-30 years old. I just had my 46th birthday and people in my office wanted to see my drivers license to prove my age. I LOVE telling my real age and seeing the disbelief on people's faces. PLEASE remember, everyones results and reactions to these acids are different and I always tell people to consult with their dermatologist before they ever attempt this type of regimen on their own. Good luck!
Great review?

Your skin sure looks fantastic! and I just tried a 20% TCA home Peel...and like Wow...after only 1st peel, what a marked improvement to the brightness of my skin....this thing actually worked...I just cant wait to do the 2nd...Minus the burning of course...lol...
Why do you use it under your eyes? Is it to get rid of bags or dark circles?
Laliana,
That comment is a little harsh don't you think? Westbury looks great, and you coming on to say things that are not very nice and rather judgmental is not what RealSelf is about. We appreciate you being in the community, but please don't come on just to judge. Westbury looks great and we encourage people to post pictures, so other community members can see the results.

I think he looks every bit of 46 and bottom line, I stick by that.
People don't want to age, but it happens. He cannot pass for 30 and that is the reality of that photo he posted.

I cannot afford Salon costs and am wanting to do it myself at home. I feel that I should use 30 percent for a homepeel judging by what I have read on this page. I know from the salon experience to keep the skin extremely moist - I used good quality sorbolene - and 1 percent Dermaid for skin care following the procedure.
I think I have seen 30 p.c. TCA on USA Ebay.
I agree. You look great, however, you do look tan. Please tell us what product you are using. Also, where do you get your 30% TCA from? Also, when you do your TCA peels, does your peeling skin turn brown first? I am just curious....Privatelyseekinginfo
Hi Westbury,
Wow you look great, but very tan. Are you using some kind of tanning lotion? I ask because you cautioned everyone to stay out of the sun. Thanks for posting a picture and joining the community.
