Hi Nicole,
I have done 2 12.5% peels from makeartistschoice and it went very well for me.
I did one layer the first time and left it on 5 min.
Started peeling about 5 days later (i have very oily skin though)
I'd say the first day try to stay indoors. Then I looked fine until the 4-5 day when I started to peel. It just looks like a sunburn peeling. Stay home those days if you are embarrassed. I had to work so I just moisturized alot but most people won't notice unless they are in your face.
I did my second 2 layer peel about a month after, that one was a little more intense but same situation.
That was 2 months ago.
$ days ago I did the 18% and am now peeling faster than the 12%. Also the 18% seems to look darker on the skin before it peels so not so easy to go out with but the results are lookin great.
I am very happy so far with tca and they website I bought them from.
I will be doing another 18% in 3 months.
Good luck
wow your still pretty red for 2 days past peel.
I did 18% (at home) about 4 days ago and I'm starting to peel.
Your peel was probably applied correctly, I've noticed that it just works differently on different parts of the face. My nose and t-zone area don't get as red and they tend to peel days after the rest of my face because I am so oily there than the rest of my face.
