I am currently using a trentinoin cream (0.25%). I use it every other day for dark spots andoccasional acne (I think from wearing the N95 mask daily. I recently ordered a tca peel for my skin and lips (I ordered your recommended strength. My question is: Can I continue to use that prescription strength while I wait for my order?Also: Thank you all for the supportan and amazing videos with lots of knowledge.
Kris 2:38
Hi! I would like to use chemical peels for anti aging, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and minor pigmentation issues. I like using the Mandelic 40% once per week because it doesn’t make me peel as much as the tca 13%. Would I get similar results using the Mandelic peel every week for 6-8 weeks rather than using the tca monthly?
Katie 4:03
So Ive been doing the 13% tca for about a year now mainly in the winter time about every 5 to 6 weeks. Since I started doing the peels, when i do break out or get a pimple. It tends to stay longer and leaves a permanent red or discolored mark on my face. This has never happened to me before. Just after i started doing the peels how do i stop that from happening or why is that happening?
Mickey C 5:37
Hello! I have now done over a dozen TCA peels at 13%. I have seen such great improvements in my skin. As my skin has gotten better, I have noticed I have developed some slight discoloration on my chin on the spots where I begin to peel first. I already use alpha-arbutin in my daily regimen morning & night. What should I do to address this mild hyperpigmentation on my chin below my mouth? My current solution is to only do a single pass over the area with the TCA so that it doesn’t peel as deeply when I do a peel and trigger PIH. Should I be avoiding applying TCA in that area? I do glycolic or mandelic peels and use retinol between TCA peels and wear sunscreen.
Janice7:33How long do I need to wait to do a lactic acid peel. I did 3 layers of TCA 13% 3 weeks ago.
Sveta 8:08

What is the best peel or process of peels for age spots on the back of hands that have been there for several years? I have had them lasered off, but they just return again, would peels fix this problem? Also would you use the same peels for age spots on the legs? Thanks!!

Jeannie 17:48
Is the use of Luminosity after a peel for moisture or to initiate peeling? I’m aware that Luminosity should be used for no more than 4 days after a peel..
Stacy 18:54
For an arm peel, should one shave their arm hair or does it not matter?.. I didn’t know if normal arm hair affected how deep the product penetrated or if it made the peeling process slower or not . Thank you!

Shannon 21:56
I’ve seen a few videos on YouTube where people are using TCA on their earlobes to help with stretched-out or saggy earlobes. Is this something that you feel is safe?
Jane 24,10
Just a logistical question about ordering to Canada: Will I have to pay any additional charges, like duty and /or HST? I’m at the very last stage of check out and ready to take the plunge but am worried I’ll be dinged with extra charges. Thank you. Loving the video tutorials. Those are value-added for sure and Jennifer, you are so good at them.

Hi jen. I am doing a series of tca 13%. I have started using tretnoin about 3 months ago, i stop tret 3 nights prior to the peel, and i feel more sensitive now when i do the peel. So my question is if i stop the tret like 7-8 day before and start using Psc retinol 20%, can i use it right up the peel day or should i stop the retinol few days prior to peel? Thanks

Claudie 39,27
Do you have a book or a catalog that explains how and when to use your products? If not would you consider making one available for reference? I have purchased many of your products, most of them I have no idea how or when to use them after a peel.Although your video helps I don’t always have access to a computer. Please help, thank you.

I am about to start on my peel journey. I have been using Tretinoin .025% for almost a year (3-4x a week). I use The Ordinary’s Lactic acid 10%, and AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. I also use L-Ascorbic Acid powder. And I have spot treated with a Hydraquinone product for my melasma. I have not had issues with any of these products. None of this has significantly reduced my spots however. Do you think I still need further prep before starting a peel? I am considering starting with Mandelic. But let me know if you think Jessners or TCA might be best. Thanks so much!
Carol 43,16
I have been using the fade bright serum twice a day for 2 weeks now and have not noticed any changes or lightening of my pigmented areas. I am prepping for the 13% TCA peel. Is this normal to not see any lightning at 2 weeks?

About 11 months ago I had surgery on both of my feet (where the big toe meets the foot). I wore silicone sheets for a while and the scarring is not raised much any more, but the scars are still red and quite noticeable. Is there a way to minimize the redness?

I wash my face everyday twice a day and use serums and toners and moisturizers but I still break out around my jaw and all over my neck, how do I prevent this ?
Jamie 49,49
After a Jessner’s peel, should I apply a Luminosity or Dream Peel? I usually start to peel 24 hours after the Jessner’s. In prior videos, you mention using the Luminosity to accelerate peeling and stop once peeling begins…but I peel pretty fast!
Christina 51,23
Can I use my copper and or peptides with tretinoin at night and with my vitamin c in the morning? My last peel I had a small area that was over done, sore and tender, if that happens again what can I use on it to promote healing?
Zenaida 53,02
I used to have severe cystic acne about four years ago. It’s all cleared up now but I’m left with horrible hyperpigmentation and a lot of ice pick scarring, I’ve tried a lot of things and have not seen anything that has completely helped clear it up. My pigmentation lightened a little with nano needling but my scars are still deep and prominent. What should I use to help the scarring and pigmentation ?

Can your peels be done on skin that uses Tretinoin low dose 3 years 63 years old ?
Stephanie Seebold1,01,25I want to start doing a weekly peel in place of a monthly. I have worked my way up to a tca 13% 3 layers with no problems. My question is will a tca 13% one layer weekly/ bi-weekly be more beneficial or would a mandelic 40 be more beneficial?

Hi, I’m trying to get rid of my melasma, which is extremely trigger-happy. I believe I first got it, twenty years ago, after using glycolic acid peels (improperly). I’ve heard that melasma can be a function of capillary dysfunction, and wondered whether copper peptides may (hence) help. I’ve used tca 13% and 18% at home (from MUAC). Also lactic (50%, from perfectimage) and mandelic acid (50% MUAC), in the last ten years. (I’ve been on retin-a since my early twenties, took a ten year break between 45 and 55, am back on, now 57). My skin is in excellent condition, practically wrinkle-free but that darn melasma. I would like to try your products, do you ship to the Netherlands? And where do I find your products (for purchase)? Thanks, and best regards, Semira Dallali
