That's the one I have. Glad you like it!

Thanks for the info! I will try the TCA peel soon when I have some downtime in case it peels a lot

How long is the downtime for the TCA peel?

I just did my first LaraChem's 40% Glycolic peel at home on Saturday. I left it on for abotu 6 minutes and it was fine. Its not as scary as you'd think.

I know it depends on which strength you use but when I use the lowest (8%) at full-time I don't start peeling until about 2 days later and then I peel for about 5 days!

LOL And with these peels I DO use a neutralizer. It's baking soda and water.

Oh wow~

Maybe I should just stick to my glycolic peels. How are the results though?

AWESOME! The skin is sooo smooth and clear afterward and I can't see any pores at all.

Also, gave myself a glycolic peel then a TCA peel. It's recommended so the peel works better.

I just placed an order for the 40% glycolic peel. I hope it'll help remove some of my acne scars

fingers crossed*

Wow, this thread is old, but I still have a question and Im hoping someone will answer...

What kind of cleanser do you use BEFORE the peel?

As long as this thread is resurrected (I was actually reading it two days ago myself!), I have a question, too. Can you use a glycolic peel if you have a blemish on your face? Or will that only irritate it and make it worse? I am really looking for something to help even my skin tone.

Are these peels okay for reddish or ruddy skin (rosacea)? I haven't been formally diagnosed with rosacea, but the areas on the sides of my nose are a little red and I want to make that better, not worse!

hmmm.. i was wondering about this too. would it be better to get akit like the one on this site? or just the peel alone??
