My skin has been looking dull, tired, blotchy, with some sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. I bought the I'm Fabulous Cosmetics Gorgeous Peel (tca peel). And did my first treatment at home before bedtime. I used acetone to remove any trace of oil on my skin. I left the peel for 3 minutes then rinse with soap and water and went to bed. The next morning, I applied my Retinol cream and every next until the following Monday. The following Monday evening I repeated the skin peel treatment at home and left it again 3 minutes but this time I applied 3 layers. It has been 3 weeks now and my skin looks amazing! I had no downtime but some dryness at the beginning. The combination of the Gorgeous TCA peel and the Retinol cream really helped with the skin colors and texture. The retinol cream I use is a 2.5% retinol.

I have those crazy vertical lines above my lip. I've had dermabrasion, a peel in the office & fillers. Will this work for me? Not paying for anymore visits. It was all money wasted. Thank you!!

If you find a fix for those lip lines let me know! Lol.. I just did a diy skin obsession brand 25% tca peel tonight on my lip, ive done it before, only small improvement..better than nothing though, & i cant afford fillers every few months

Yes, I've done the same tca peel 2x now, putting on 3 to 4 layers. I've ordered the 100%, so, I'm gonna give it a try, will monitor my skin closely, and, hopefully get some kind of results! :) I'll keep you posted!! Thank you!

Sounds great! I got my 100% TCA in the mail today, and I plan on doing it possibly Friday night. I'll take before photos, just in case this happens to work! Feeling hopeful! :)

TCA BODY PEEL

MARINE2017
In February I did the I'm Fabulous Cosmetics TCA body peel on my lower leg, lower arms, and chest. I did 3 layers for 3 minutes each and 3 treatments 2 weeks apart each. The results are awesome! My sun damage, especially brown spots are gone. I now use a lot of sunscreens so that it does not come back.

You did three treatments in between 2 weeks?
November 14, 2018
That was great! I wanted to try my 15% wkly but it seems like too much healing time so I may try a stronger peel every 3 wks.

What's the brand of the 100% you used? I'm not very experienced & have only used a 25%, but thinking I should try higher..you apparently got one from a good company so I wanna see what I can get goin
