15% TCA Chemical Skin Peel (1/2 oz) Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Crepey Skin, Age Spots, Freckles, by RePare Skincare (15ml_15)

I have been using peels for years, TCA for troubling areas and glycolic for overall more frequent facials. If you are new to TCA especially, just remember less is more when it comes to strength. So many think by getting a higher strength they can get better results but if its for example a whole face peel, all you'll do is risk permanent scarring.I only use a 15% TCA peel for full face - with glycolic you can go higher. If you can leave that 15% on your face for 10 mins or so then you can start layering it which will give you a stronger peel, but please DONT ever use the 30+ strengths on your face overall, youll damage your skin. The higher %'s are great for skin tags and spot areas though.

For the first time use I decided to try 15 percent TCA. I left the solution for 3 minutes and washed face with water. (I am 37 with dry skin, no major problems ) I started peeling on day 3 , exactly when I had meeting at work :). Next time I would do it on Thursday night to have the peeling on the weekend instead of Saturday. Skin looked refreshed and not dull on day 7. I am happy with the result and affordable product . I also watched a few YouTube video by dermatologists on how to do it properly.

I had my entire face treated with a co2 laser about 1 month ago for deep acne scars.. it cost $2200 and the results were minimum. Ive applied the TCA three times tonight with a paint brush and can immediately see the top layer of skin turning white. I applied more two days later. The picture is 1 week after first treatment progress. I peeled for about a week. The left is after treatment and the right side is before my first peel. I'm a little upset this product seems to be helping more than the $2200 laser treatment I had.. Also vitamin C is amazing for skin and faster healing. I took around 1000 mg a day to speed up recovery.

Used for first time last week due to acne scars.... I am 48 years old & what a difference after one application. Peeling had scared me due to some post I had previously seen, however I had no major issues. Nothing more than a sunburn peel. I will continue to buy from this company!

I bought this in June but was scared to use it, I have been doing the glycolic and salicylic peels for a couple of months now and I finally got up the nerve to do this peel last week but I only did it around my mouth. I have deep lip creases and huge pores on my chin, I was scared so I only left it on for about 3 minutes but I did do two passes and it worked for me, I had a full peel going on in two days. I thought I was going to have an acid burn because it was strong and where I put it on was bright red well into the next day and it hurt but by day two it had calmed down and started peeling. I think it is a good product.

Firstly I want to say that nobody should be doing this to themselves without thorough research. That does not mean reading one or two Google pages, that means spending a couple hours looking into what you are doing.Now that that is out of the way this did exactly what it was supposed to do.I gently washed my face and afterwards I used the prepeel solution. Really you don't need this in my opinion because you can use acetone (yes the kind for your nails) or alcohol to wipe your face; and I know some people also use witch hazel.Make sure you have everything you need by you before you start because once you start you are going to be in pain and it's going to be too hard for you to grab whatever you need to. And yes, it causes pain. I don't think it's unbearable; I think it's tolerable especially if you use a fan and keep yourself busy rather than just focusing on your face burning. I played solitaire for my first 5 minutes.I used gauze rather than a brush because I didn't want anything leaking or dripping into my eyes. Remember this is acid.I did my first pass and then I set a timer for 5 minutes. Yes it did hurt but TCA self-neutralizes so as time went on the burn lessoned and I would say that happened around 3 minutes. When it hit 5 minutes I was like, "this is easy". But after the first 5 minutes I then did a second layer and/or pass (just like the first) and again waited 5 more minutes. This time was a little harder. After this 5 minutes was over I would have done a third pass except I did not have enough product (I originally bought a smaller bottle). I only had enough left over to dab some spots on my face that did not frost. I did that so everything would be frosted and even. I sent another timer for 5 minutes but I might have only made it 3 or 4 minutes. I know you can use baking soda and water as a paste to help stop the TCA but I wanted cold water. I just went in the bathroom and was continuously splashing my face with cold water until I felt the product not burning or working anymore. Took maybe 20 or 30 seconds. Dab your face dry do not wipe it. After care for me involved aquaphor. I used aquaphor on my face for two or three days I think. I reapplied multiple times a day. I know some people don't like aquaphor because it can cause you to break out so I guess do your research and see what else you would be able to use that is thick and healing. I know some people have even used Neosporin but I can't speak on that. After the two or three days of aquaphor I switched to my Wella skin food moisturizer (LOVE this product), my origins gel moisturizer, as well as Go-To Face Hero protective face oil. I alternated them or layered them. I used them multiple times a day. I didn't get very good flaking until day six or seven and I know for most people it is day three or four. I think it's because I only did the two layers. After everything was done it felt like I had a little bit of a sunburn but barely. That went away by day 2. Your face then gets tight, wrinkly, and leathery before it peels and this is normal.I mainly did this to help with some scars that I have but I was not expecting how great it helped my pores. I don't really think I have a problem with my pores although I can see them. Pores aren't my top priority I'm more so focusing on scarring and hyperpigmentation. But upon comparing photos from before and a few days after (I was still peeling) it helped a lot.I cannot wait until I am healed and able to do a second round. This time I will have a fan or a blow dryer by me. You can use your blow dryer if it has the cool shot button. First time around I did not numb, I did not take Ibuprofen, and I did not have a fan or blow dryer. I guess I underestimated the burn. I stuck my face outside the window and put my face in the freezer and that helped, lol.Anyways, I think this is absolutely worth it. I'm going to continue to use 15% for a while. If it helped me so much this very first time (when I didn't even do it as fully as intended) I can't imagine what a couple treatments are going to look like!

Used It Myself And I peeled for 14 days. Although I wouldn’t recommend it to someone without the knowledge of going to School for Skincare. For Ethnic skin this would be highest percentage I would use.

I don't give my reviews 1 or 3 stars just because a product hasn't worked for me but TCA does exactly what TCA peels are meant to do just I didn't notice anything using a 15% peel. I need something stronger like 25-50% so I will be purchasing something stronger next time
