I wanted to try this Vi peel to help with my adult acne. My acne has been getting out of control the last few years due to age, hormones and STRESS! So a dermatologist told me "it doesn't matter how healthy you are on the inside, if you don't take care of the outside (your skin) it'll be obvious." So I bought a vi peel package and did my 1st one today.

I hope you have better luck than me. I've done it twice and had minimal peeling. I think they might have changed the formula. People have told me they get a lot of peeling. I have not to date and won't waste my time on this tedious peel again. good luck

Day 3 I didn’t take any pictures because I was so busy (and uncomfortable). The peeling looked pretty bad but I wasn't TOLD NOT TO PEEL ANY FLAKING SKIN OR SHEETS OF FLAKING SKIN!!! SO I DID :( BAD, BAD, BAD IDEA. It was very painful for me on Day 3

DAY 4 - so far this is the worst day!!! And DAYS 1-3 were no walk in the park! My skin is inflamed, tight, itchy, red, peeling, looking like I have dark red patches and spots. I have no idea how this is going to get better? I just really hope it does!!!!!

Yep. My gal didn't warn me so I picked and now it's hurting like crazy. I think it'd been ok if I hadn't pulled. It felt good when I did it but now...ow! I'm sure it'll get better though. I've heard wonderful things about these peels.
