How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

10 Week Photos
Have added a few photos I took at 10 weeks, a couple of weeks ago-ish. I have not done a full TCA treatment in about a month. I have, however, continued with a few spot treatments using a q-tip to target a few stubborn areas. I did like three in a row, and I just got sick of the constant peeling so I gave it a break so I could just sit back for a couple of weeks and actually enjoy the face! lol The unbelievable has happened and I actually go out without foundation! Wow. The jaw line is like crazy improved now. I am *just* about ready to apply another spot treatment on a couple of new PIH spots from a break out last week. It just doesn't matter if I pop, pick, or completely leave a pimple alone because it will still scar, it is only to what degree that is the difference. Grrr.. This may be close to my final update on this post as from here on out it is all about maintenance, because the life-long battle for clear skin will continue to be sure. But, all in all the face is looking great by my standards! I'm just so thrilled to have mostly clear skin for the first time since my first break out at the age of 12! The (thus far) approx 3 months of twice daily commitment to the face program was time very well spent -- better late than never! :)
Did another TCA application tonight...
Put a light 15% TCA application on tonight. I got super bummed over the blue LED actually making my hyperpigmentation darker. So while the blue LED kicked some serious acne butt, it isn't too kind on my darker skin and hyperpigmentation. It has set me back a little as a result and I wanted to try to regain some of that lost ground. And that's why I did a 15% TCA peel. I'll be all peeling and grody at work next week as a result, and I don't care :( Bummed about the blue LED 'tanning' issue. I will have to clear my face up completely before using the full-face blue LED panel again. In the meantime, I have a smaller 2.5" blue LED light on order so I can focus on individual pimples/problems and mitigate the whole face tanning issue.
Now let the peeling begin! :)
