Why am I not peeling third day after VI Precision Plus peel?

Question

I am on my third day of the VI Precision Plus peel and I am still barely peeling. My face doesn't even feel tight and dry--it feels normal and I have nothing more than just a tiny, very mild bit of sloughing. On the more mild VI Peel that I had in the past, I literally had sheets of skin hanging off my face by day 3, and from other photos I have seen, that seems to be the norm. Yet I barely have anything happening. Is this abnormal and if so, why is this happening? (Or not happing)!

I like cosmealn and enlighten peels more for pigmentation and you see a lot of peeling.  Following the proper at home care is essential with anteagemd, restorsea 10, and vivatia foam, sente biocomplete, emerageskin refit face and hylab.  start AERIFY every 2 weeks. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Jenn234,
According to the VI Peel protocol, day 3 post peel is the first day you should expect to notice any type of cracking or flaking. Be patient. Peeling comes in many forms depending on your level of exfoliation prior to the peel. You can peel in sheets or just lightly flake. The peeling process is specific to the individual. Make sure you seek out an experienced provider. We hope this information is useful and wish you the very best of luck in achieving your skin care goals!
