I struggled with severe acne for the past 5 years and have finally gotten it under control. However, I am now left with severe redness and Ice pick scarring which make my skin look very rough and uneven. I first tried the jesnner peel 2 years ago and it did help with the acne but I saw better results once I started watching my diet, drinking more water, and using more basic facial cleansers and toners in conjunction with products from the Peter Thomas Roth Brand.
I applied this peel last night and hope to see some results as I continue using it every few weeks. Here is how my skin looked before the application. I will update more photos within the next few days!

Google the : Croton Oil Peel (Modified Phenol or Hetter Peel) doctor has administer it. Deep peel that usually helps your problem. The doctor can modify the Peel accordingly to your skin type. Just google and research.

Peeling is pretty severe around the corners of the mouth. And I can feel the skin around the cheek bones drying up and getting ready to peel as well.

Peeling has occurred all over my face. I continue using plenty of moisturizer and drinking Aloe Vera juice every day. I have since seen less redness. Can't wait until this is over!

your not suppose to moisturize with this peel , just spray some moisturizing toner or press a calming serum but no rubbing action on the face
