WORTH IT$30
I just started a series (trying for 6) of at home Glycolic Acid Peels. Yesterday was my second peel spaced 1 week apart. I left the peel on for 10 minutes and on day 2 the brown spots have emerged and some crusting has formed, I am using Eucerin and Coconut Oil for moisturizing. I left this peel on longer than the last and was fearful I may have burned my skin but today my skin feels less sensitive than it did at this same point during my first peel. There are a lot more brown spots though. which is what I wanted to happen as these should crust and flake off. I am concerned about the coconut oil clogging my pores but so far it is a great emollient.
My goal is to improve Rosacea, tone, texture, brighter complexion and mostly get rid of fine lines and crepey skin on my lower eyelids

Day 3- dark spots feeling scaly
This is day 3- Skin feels rough, crusty, tight , brown spots crusting. No more tenderness. I've been washing my face a couple times a day with gentle cleanser and kind of soaking it in warm water hoping it will promote exfoliation/decrusting my face. I then liberally reapply coconut oil. I've had a few whiteheads. I am assuming it's from the coconut oil. but no big deal.

Would love to send you a sample of Clara-fy.com that will help you slough off the dead skin. Let me know.
Has no oil, grains, acid or harsh chemicals. It is also used for Lash extension cleansing.

Thank you for posting . I am having similar spots emerge and glad to see your wonderful final results.

You could also use a dry oil that won't cause whiteheads. It's PH closely matches your skins. I use Clarins lotus face oil after peels and all winter under make up.

Sweet almond oil is hydrating and non-comedogenic. NOW brand is pretty good, I use it straight or as a carrier oil.

Coconut oil is very high on the comedogenic index. Don't ruin your results with a deep pimple! Something like Jojoba or sweet almond oil will be much safer.

Really starting to shed
yesterday when I ran my hands over my face it felt like large grain sandpaper with other larger "crusties". Today that is all starting to come off. I am no longer using coconut oil but Eucerin only. I also used a Tinted BB cream and powder when I went to work. I can see outcome of brighter, clearer skin.

really appreciated your informative and thorough review. Could you talk a little bit more about the product you use for the peel?

I ordered from Amazon Skin Beauty Solutuons 70% Glycolic Acid Peel- unbuffered. My first peel stayed on for 8 minutes and second peel for 10 minutes before neutralizing with baking soda/water solution. Next time I will order the Jessner peel from Skin Obsession. People seem to be happy with their products. You do need to test each peel individually before doing a full application because the ph could be different even though they are the same percentage and acid.
