8 days post peel
WORTH IT$30
all the crusting has healed but my under eye wrinkles are worse than before. I know this is because the skin is still very dry there. I am wearing makeup pretty normally but it cakes in my dry undereye wrinkles ;( also started using Vitamin C/ HA serum again and put on a yogurt mask yesterday to loosen up dead skin cells. I'm going to do my next peel in 8 days.

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.
Thank you so much Sandra for your insights!
Excellent posting, thank you Sandra

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.

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.
