Day 5, still no signs of peeling. Is there a problem?

Question

I did the mask 5 days ago, and have followed up with the 15 min of 3x a day with Cosmelan2...and still no signs of peeling. My age spots are darker than before, and I am slightly red. Is there a problem? How can I speed this up, I have to be back to work in 4 days. Thanks

Slight changes in pigmentation and redness can occur with Cosmelan treatment. Not everyone peels with the mask as expected.

Hi Thanks for sharing your queries. Slight darkening and skin redness post Cosmelan peel is normal. You can wait for 3 more days to see the actual exfoliation. And usually cosmelan 2 cream should be started once the peeling phase is complete.
