I have some brownspots, and uneven coloring on my face, especially along my jaw line from too much sun exposure. I was told the VI peel would be perfect for me and would probably only need it 1x to see a big difference. The experience was horrible. The application was fine, as was the aesthetician. But after 4hrs and 20 minutes, I cleansed the skin and applied a towlette per directions. At this point, my skin began itching beyond belief. I endured the itching for an hour and a half before I tried putting aftercare lotion on it. This did nothing for the itching. I proceeded to itch for the next 11hrs-non-stop! Nothing helped. Nothing! At bedtime I once again cleansed and applied a towlette per my directions. The itching continued. I was up until 3:30am going out of my mind with itching and the inability to do anything about it. Finally it stopped on its own. The following morning I cleansed again and used the last towlette per directions given by my aestician. Uneventful day on day 2. I started to peel around my nose area late in the day on day 2. Day 3 peeling was increased to my chin and top of my nose and eyebrows. Day 4 peeling seemed to have stopped(I don't thing I ever peeled under my eyes or along my jaw line) Now my skin was itching again, intolerably so. It was raw, red and itching like mad. Day 5, skin was raw and somewhat itchy and very patchy looking too. Day 6, skin finally started to look more normal, Redness gone, itching gone. But now I have 20 big, pus filled pimples all over my face(going in, I had one pimple) and there are absolutely no results. ZERO. Nothing faded at all, not even a little. I spent all that money and went through 5 days of sheer misery and not only do I not have any improvement whatsoever, I now have pimples everywhere! I am near tears in frustration and disappointment. This peel was not worth it at all for me. If I had seen any improvement in anything maybe I would consider a 2nd peel although, I'm not sure as the discomfort and ugliness for 5 days was ridiculous. Since I did not get any improvement at all, I most certainly would not go through that loss of money and horrible experience again. So, incredibly bummed out.

aesthetician was lovely, knowledgeable, helpful. I don't in anyway feel this was her fault. I think this product just doesn't work for me and my skin.
