  Remember that appearances, like pain, is relative. Someone on here says, "my face looked awful!!" could mean nothing to you or I...same thing with pain. Some people think a bee sting is the end of the world so take that with a grain of salt too. My pain level was a 1 during the treatment but subsided after 2 minutes. I itched the first night after applying the vitamin C towelette but put on a 1% Hydrocortisone cream and the itching stopped after about 3 minutes. If you follow directions, this is a hard peel to screw up and an easy one to recommend. Getting my 3rd ViPeel done next week.... I pay $400 where are you guys going?? lol

  Don't pick and DON'T remove with cuticle scissors people!! USE the moisturizer to hide the dead skin and to help it slough off... come on.

  Your lack of pain has nothing to do with how sensitive your skin is or how effective the peel is, it has to do with the fact that the peel has phenol in it, which is a numbing agent. The moisturizer helps hide peeling skin, keeps your face moist (duh) and keeps people from picking at dead skin. Picking skin that doesn't hurt can still lead to inflammation, redness, and acne...is this where you picked? :) If you are trying to get rid of acne scars like I did do 2 ViPeels 3 weeks apart. It is cheaper than IPL (which can burn you and hyper-pigment your skin permanently) and is must faster. Any before and afters??

  A ViPeel has TCA in it and gives you similar results as those painful TCA peels (avoid Obagi like the plague!) Instead, do another ViPeel.

  It will help, yes. It dramatically improved my overall appearance.
