Just called the spa where I got a Cosmelan peel a couple of years ago and was told the spa no longer offers it because the formulation changed and/or some of the ingredients have been flagged by the FDA. Can someone confirm this? Thanks! I'd like to get a second Cosmelan peel but not if the formulation has changed.

Hi, This is very normal and nothing to panic.Usually one can start using cosmelan 2 from day 5 after cosmelan 1 after which the skin will slowly lighten up. Hope you are using your sunscreens properly. But it is advisable to meet your doctor and follow their instructions. Good luck.
