@cherryboboc Can I ask where you got your 12.5 peel? TCA 12.5% is extremely mild. I would apply that to someone with even the most sensitive skin. I am thinking that the peel you had was NOT 12.5%. Generally it will take about 3 layers of a 12.5% to even achieve a frost in the skin (which would equal good flaking). **Always remember a peel IS a Controlled Burn. Be careful and follow all instructions. In the case of "peeling" a "burn" IS the desired result.
4 layers??? Wow, you shouldn't have done that. You might have discoloration in those burnt areas. You should never do 4 layers, especially for your skin type. 12.5% up to 21% or 24% TCA peel works well for African Americans. Higher than that will leave you having hyperpigmentation, and it's not easy to cure. If you didn't feel any burning feeling with a 12.5, upgrade your TCA to a 24%. Adding 4 layers is like putting in a TCA 50% peel on your face. That's extremely harsh what you just did.
@Nakita4U2Learn -- Hi, I just wanted to make a comment here as I am a TCA manufacturer. It is ALWAYS more safe to apply a lower % in more layers than it is to put a higher % on in less layers. TCA is a smart peel and will self-neutralize after it coagulates the proteins. Several light layers are a much MUCH safer way to avoid post-inflammatory pigmentation. A high percentage causes MORE inflammation - which leads to pigmentation. Dark skin should ALWAYS use a Fading product before any peel.
ok where do you get these peels from i am using lactic acid. once a week a thin layer( im new at this) im at the 4th week of this now, and last week i left it on for like 9 min, i would only do like 4 i had this one spot on my cheek get really blistered and it left a mark. i was adding neosporin to it ot help kill the pain. i got my peel from skinlabratory, its a level 1 peel so its not very harsh. i did a kinda thick layer last time which lead to this one spot but i have seen improvement

o.o I cannot believe u put 4 layers on
mavey101 1 year ago
that wasnt a 50% peel
after 1 layer of peel the strength is only 25% of what it is
so since u did 4 layers
12% +4% + 1% + 0.25% =18.25% was ur peel
