After a few months of research on Realself, I decided to go in for a facial peel. My dermatologist recommended the VI Purify peel for my skin to even out my concerns of acne breakouts, blackheads, acne scarring/redness/hyper pigmentation. This is the first peel I have EVER done, so I am excited to see the results.

I will be updating this daily so I can share my experience with all of you!

Erin was very knowledgeable and professional but also very personable! She instantly made me feel like I was in the right hands. She explained what the peel was, the procedure steps, and walked me through the aftercare process.

First Night

Erin applied several layers of the peel on my skin and neck area, which gave me a dark orange/tan look. I did encounter some burning during this, which on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 3.5/4. I washed off the peel as instructed 4.5 hours after the initial application. The only other discomfort I felt the first night was some intense itching on my neck, which went away after using the face wash and after treatment. This morning I woke up looking like I got a nice tan.

Third Day

Just as Erin said (and most of the other reviews on VI Peels), I started peeling today! It has been minimal, and so far is just around my nose and lips. I am definitely feeling slightly more itchy overall today, but that is expected for the circumstances.

That's great, thank you for sharing your post and your pics!

Have you noticed any pimples forming from the peel cleaning your pores?

Yes, I have found three already. Is this normal?
