Acid Peels - Share your Reviews and Routines..

I was lazy to do it on the planned the day which was last weeks friday, so I did it today which is monday. I did three very different things this time. I derma rolled my face with a derma roller of 1,00mm needles before applying my peel. I read that derma-rolling beforehand will create a deeper peel. The second thing I did differently was apply a different type of chemical peel. This week I used a glycolic peel, instead of a lactic acid peel. This is supposed to be a slightly more intense peel. I used it with a 50% concentration and left it on for 5 minutes. Let me tell you... If I don't notice some real improvements with this peel, I'm going right back to the lactic acid peel or exploring a different type of peel. As soon as this peel touched my face it STUNG. It stung a lot worse than the lactic acid peel and I'm sure that the fact that I derma rolled before hand played a factor in this. It felt as if I had a open wound and spritz some really hot chilli on it. This leads me to the third thing I did differently. It stung so bad, I only applied it on my forehead. I simply couldn't muscle enough courage to apply it throughout the rest of my face. Again.. only if I see some real improvements am I willing to continue with this peel/technique. 

Peel concentration: 65%

Time: 7 minutes total

Layers: I applied 6 layers. I applied it at every minute mark, until I reached 1 minute on the countdown so: 7:00 -apply first layer- 6:00 -apply layer- 5:00 - apply layer- 4:00 -apply layer-, 3:00 -apply layer- 2:00 -apply layer-

After peel: I applied aloe vera gel
