Thank you! This was, by far, THE most informative presentation on acid peels anywhere online; clear, detailed and concise! Now I understand the differences between the various chemical peel options and which direction to go in for DIY peeling.
I’ve never done a chemical peel in my life and last night I did 3 passes of tca 7% and I am hooked!!! It was so easy, I watched your videos 20 times each probably lol, I knew exactly what to do, everything went great! My skin has never felt so smooth EVER! It tingled a bit but I had no irritation or negative side effects. I’m so excited to continue my peeling/anti-aging journey, thank you Jen!!!!
Wonderful job! 7% is a great acid to start with if you are really worried or have more sensitive skin ... or just want a bit less flaking than the 13%. Keep up the good work.
I used Salicylic acid as a face wash for acne. I use glycolic to treat breakout and I have dared because of this woman a TCA peel on my lip lines and pigmentation. 6 months apart. I feel like a fresh snake with my new skin lol!! Thank you for your products and videos I love it!! ❤️
OH YAY!!! So happy to hear that you are moving up and seeing great changes with your adventurous self. :) Keep it up. Everything gets better as you progress.
I have bought almost everything you sell .. My skin looks younger and I feel so good love the triple threat lotion it helps with pigmentation and the serum the eye cream I am so glad I found this skin care.. Thanks so much.
Christiana Weir-Whilby triple Treat and Fade Bright are both excellent for daily treatments. For best results though you will definitely need to add on the body peels. I suggest 20% Tca or 30% Tca.
I've scoured the internets and this is THE MOST INFORMATIVE and useful video I have found. SUBSCRIBED!! Will watch them all and for sure you have a new customer. THANKS for empowering your viewers!
I love my tca peels! I just did my first 20 percent after doing two 13 percent and it is way stronger ladies! Go in steps like she say don't jump to the highest right away bc you don't know if your skin can handle it!
Excellent video! This way of providing info to your customer base is such a good idea, for those of us who have no idea what we're doing it inspires confidence, we can do it!
Oh yes! I feel jessners like FIRE. ... for about 4-5 minutes and then it is gone. 2nd layer takes a little less to go away ... 3rd layer takes a little less.
OH! thank you for the compliment and suggestion. ;) I always use the same thing on my neck and chest that I do on my face. Apply from your forehead all the way down.
Hello, I admire the effort spent replying to every comment. Had a couple questions if you're willing 1. Any suggestions for glasses? I've heard the nosepiece can press into the skin, causing a deeper peel than desired or healing to fail, and it's recommended to not wear glasses for up to 4 weeks afterwards, but I need them to see at all. 2. Any statistics on exactly what undesirable effects are how likely to happen (TCA/Mandela)? 3. Some say to only have TCA peels done professionally because there's too high of a risk of complications otherwise, any thoughts on this? 4. How much longer would you say Mandelic peels would take than TCA to fade acne scars? Thank you
Glasses are just a must if you wear them. If you are concerned with this - you can always avoid applying the acid to that area of your nose. Not a problem at all. A little dab of ointment will create a barrier before you apply the acid to your face. Truly, I would not worry about this too much. :) I would say the most undesirable effect would be PIH. You can help to prevent that by applying a melanin inhibitor for 4 weeks prior to performing peels. IF you do get PIH .. it will be milder than it could have been. Everyone has an opinion. Education is everything! Also starting with a reasonable % like 7 or 13 TCA and working up. Mandelic is very very mild. TCA is a stronger acid. There are not specific times or comparisons between the two. They are not really comparable. TCA is far superior for major changes. But not everyone wants that. They want little to NO social downtime. That is where the Alpha Hydroxy Acid peels come in.
So glad. Glycolic is a wonderful peel to start off with. Work your way up in time as you move forward. Pretty soon you will be able to leave it on for minutes at a time.
@@PlatinumSkinCare I used 70% on my hands and left it there for several hrs. Didn’t feel anything. Same with my forearms but washed it off after 7 min and felt nothing. Can I use on my face?
I was watching idiots like Dr. Dray and her videos are a waste of time. This one was so positive and informative. So happy to see a real woman with nice skin explain this all.
I use four of them at once...really speeds up the process..I started peeling like a week ago..I apply sunscreen and oil lotion etc. she is right to use the other stuff before applying these products, they’re very potent..
Thank you so much for this information! I've been considering lactic acid peel but I've never done peels before and I have dehydrated acne prone skin and at the age of 30 I'm getting sunspots and possible beginner pigmentation. I also have sensitive skin that gets irritated very easily. Thank you for the guidance.
It is always best if darker skin types use a melanin inhibitor like alpha arbutin (in our Fade Bright) or hydroquinone to lessen the melanin production prior to peels. But, "generally" the milder acids are just fine. The acid choice really depends on what you are wanting to treat? Acne = Salicylic 15 or Mandelic 40. Very sensitive skin = Mandelic 22. General refreshening = Glycolic 30 These are each great options.
I absolutely love your content. It's very informative, precise and easy to follow. Unfortunately being in South Africa, we don't have access to your products and have to do with alternatives. The range of acid peels available to buy is very limited, unless if you go to ridiculously overpriced clinics for treatments. Jessners are hard, if not impossible to find. The rest are sold at ridiculously low % (e.g. -TCA 4% and 6%) yet very pricey. Highest Lactic you can get is 40% and salicylic is 30%. On the other hand, you find different % for same quantity of the same peel going for the same price (e.g. 10ml of Lactic 20% is same as 10ml for 40%)🤣! Like, its so ridiculous, I don't even think anyone knows what they are doing!
Well, that can certainly happen. Saliyclic 30% would be VERY strong. The 4 and 6% TCA... yes very low and would require probably about 5-8 layers to get a good peel on the face. We are glad that you found us.
Count yourself LUCKY! You are 50% more likely to get PIH. It can happen to anyone at any time - no matter how many peels they have done in the past. Use caution.
@@PlatinumSkinCare lol i don't know why ppl try to make simple things seem mysterious......you might be surprised that some women are actually "intelligent" and it only takes a basic one .....iv been self studying for 5 yrs at home on different skin treatments i do my own botox....sculptra...mesotherapy and much more.......peels are very easy to understand once you know how to prepare when you first start learning about them......ov .always had perfect skin too but your info is ok for newbies....nice video
@@PlatinumSkinCare "i" am 50"% more likely? oh lolol Do you not know that "biracials" have a completely different skin type to full blk?..different hair texture too......i remember having my hair done years ago from a top hairdresser.......completely ruined it but the main reason i do my own treatments at home (especially peels) is because i myself do a better job
Just go with what you want to change and how much flaking you want to deal with. TCA 13 for aging skin. There is nothing better. Salicylic or jessners for acne. Type in your issues and I will give some help.
Hi! This video was very informative and I'm so glad I found this company. I want to do a chemical peel on my feet to reduce wrinkles and soften my feet and my knees to remove hyperpigmentation and even out my skin. I was thinking of using the 20% TCA since I have Type 5 skin type. What are your suggestions? What's a good pairing with TCA? The vitamin A peel or the fusion A luminosity method?
Caution with darker skin types. I suggest Fade Bright and Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion as a daily treatment. After 4 weeks, if you wish to do a peel, then the TCA 20% is an option. See here: www.platinumskincare.com/body-peels-which-acid-what-percentage-fitzpatrick/
I'm 45 and I have very wrinkled hands due to working in the sun without gloves for decades. Is there a way to reverse this damage with TCA peels? The other option is laser but that's a last resort.
You can absolutely do TCA peels on your hands! It works very well. It can take 20-30 days to start and finish the flaking process - but, that is normal for body parts. :) Use lots of emu oil and/or shea butter to keep them as moist as possible during this phase. See this video on how to do that: www.platinumskincare.com/hand-and-body-peeling-tca-30-versus-glycolic-70-demonstration/ And this video: www.platinumskincare.com/body-peels-which-acid-what-percentage-fitzpatrick/ Remember that you will have to 100% protect your hands going forward. Gloves and High SPF always.
Thank you so much for the detailed information.. if possible post peeling how we need to take care of the skin? Please make a video on this..also educate us on can we use retinol,or other activities in daily skin care daily routine post peeling ? Or we should not use active ingredients in post peeling day or night skin care routine?? If we can use means how many days post peeling we can start skincare routine day or night routine with activities (milder % like lactic 10%,retinol 2%, glycolic/mandelic less than 10%..
Here is a video on after-peel care: www.platinumskincare.com/chemical-peels-flaking-what-to-expect/ When you are all done flaking, and your skin feels normal, you can go back to your daily regimen.
I'm a bit confused. This video tells me that mandelic is stronger than lactic. However, I read something different. "Mandelic acid has a larger molecular size than lactic acid, which means it penetrates the skin more slowly and is less irritating."
Yes... but molecular size isn't everything! TCA has an even bigger molecule (almost triple the size of lactic) - and look what THAT can do! :) Basically anything with a dalton of 500 or less will penetrate the skin with ease.
We recommend TCA 30 if you have a light skin tone. Medium to darker skin tones should use TCA 20 and also will need to pretreat with Fade Bright for 2 weeks prior to using the TCA Peel.
I like the way you teach us it’s very important to understand the science behind these. Chemicals ., I thank you very much and I have a question,,, can I use TCA 13 if I have mild rosacea????
There are definitely those that use it. What I can say is that we will only recommend the Mandelic 22 as safe for rosacea. For rosacea start using Vitamin C + Nano Hyaluronic every day. It will help immensely.
Very informative video! I've struggled with malasma and hyperpigmentation for years and have decided 2020 is when I need to do something about it. I'm approaching my mid 30s with sensitive, dry skin and prone to monthly hormonal breakouts which always leave a scar. I'm currently using the ordinary lactic acid 10% with HA 3x per week. I suspect I may need something stronger but I'm super nervous! I use spf 40 sunscreen. I'm at a loss with my skin. Any Suggestions?
10% lactic is pretty mild. I would suggest starting up with a weekly 50% Lactic peel. Then Fade Bright (or hydroquinone) 2x per day along with SPF 50. Retinoids at night will help the turnover as well. Consider something like our .20% Retinol Molecular Serum.
Hi, I have been using a 50% glycolic acid peel (not my first) for 2 or 3 months, but I have never experienced any peeling or flaking on my face, it does burn and I see very little improvements. A dermatologist told me that is normal that it doesn't peel and that it should be used daily, and I tried to use it more times but not daily. Yesterday it didn't even burn. Sould I start using a TCA peel?
A 50% glycolic peel should not ever be used daily. Possibly they were referring to an acid serum - like our Serum 15 or Serum 30. Even those you must start off with about 3x per week and work up to daily ... as your skin tolerates/acclimates. AHA peels are not meant to give you a lot of flaking. They are the "lunchtime" peels for a reason. No social downtime. Expect a bit of dryness ... maybe a few flakes with these acids. If you are looking for flaking you need to move to a TCA or Jessners peel. Start with 1-2 layers your first time. Next MONTH you can add on 1 more layer. Continue as you see fit.
It would have been nice if you would have placed the names to the left of your had while you held the boxes. Sorry but some folks cannot read the box’s letters.😊
We apologize. We do mention each acid's name before the section - and during the explanation. Hopefully you can re-listen to that area and find out which interested you? If not, please write us back and we can help you here! ***Also - to make things SUPER easy, we have created our Peel Finder Tool, ... answer a few pertinent questions regarding your skin, the downtime you want, sensitivity levels... and it will tell you which acid will work best.

I am pretty stoked about you're channel. RETINA destroyed my skin and gave me scary health side affects as well, so I will never ever take it again. I am just glad there is other skin care I can do. You have lovely skin yourself! Thanks :)
New to home peels. I was floored to learn I can do this myself. !! However, I am 71 yrs. young. My skin is in excellent condition with fine lines and I want help to eliminate or decrease the size. I order TCA. Did I Purchase the right acid?
I have a question jennifer. I am black and have acne scarring on my back and shoulder. I prepped my skin with fade bright and melanin inhibitor for six weeks. I also washed my skin with soap and water and then cleaned it with alcohol. I did not spot treat, I applied the skin peel 50 percent on my right deltoid (shoulder area). I waited a few days and saw no frosting and no peeling. I felt a slight tingling/warming sensation when I applied but just the area closest to the arm pit got dry and flaked a little. No peeling. Did I do something wrong? What would you recommend?
Hello. You applied a 50% what? Glycolic? TCA? We do not manufacture a 50% TCA... so I can not help you with that. What is normal though on the body... is a peel taking 30 days to exfoliate. Don't expect to see anything for a good 10-14 days.
Does the frosting mean to stop, or can I still put another layer on? (TCA 13%). Grateful if you can answer because different people say different things about frosting. Great product btw, thank you ☺️
Hi there. Frosting is good. It's not "necessary" to get flaking, but when you do see it you will definitely get some good skin sloughing. At home we never want a solid white - and most likely you wouldn't see that unless you were applying multiple layers of a TCA 20. ... So, a white speckling or haze is just fine. You may choose to apply another layer on top of that (after the 5 minutes) to make it frost more... or, if you want you can just apply another layer of the TCA to the areas that did NOT frost. It is very common to have only certain parts of the face frost. Forehead, chin, cheeks are pretty good... but many other areas are slower to frost. Just don't get too caught up in the frost. Even if it doesn't show at all you will still get some flaking. Progress slowly and see what kind of flaking that you are getting before you decide you want more.
Will sacilyic acid remove blackhead??? I have clogged nose & chin (blackheads), extraction create skin damage/scarring/bigger pimples on me. What strength/how often would you reccomend it?
Salicylic is an excellent choice if you have clogged pores. It is oil-soluble and will DIG deep into the pores in search of oil. It will help to pull that up and out. Use a Cleanser like our AB Cleanser 2x per day to help with this. Another mandatory ingredient for pores is Vitamin A. Fusion A .15 is a great place to start 2-3x per week. Retinoids force the pore-lining to shed! This keeps your pores clear and tight!
That is very interesting. Retinoids are considered to have NO allergic properties. See here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3834457/#:~:text=Generally%2C%20retinoids%20are%20considered%20to,GPMT)%20which%20is%20usually%20used. Usually it is just starting too aggressively. There IS a time where you are acclimating. It can be months to even a year. Milder is better in this circumstance. Bakuchiol is an alternative to natural vitamin A. @@jasmines9228
@PlatinumSkinCare I have rosacea. I used differin gel one night on my bide, and next day my face was neon red. It took a couple of months to calm down the redness, and became like Cracked. So I'm afraid to ever use it again!
New subscriber here! Love your channel! I have been experimenting with acids for years regarding my extreme KP situation. I am a 6 on the Fitzpatrick scale and wanted to know which of your acids you would suggest for me to purchase? I want to apply to full legs and elbows for KP....and would like to know which acid to purchase for hands and feet?
We love the Lactic 50 for KP. It is a more hydrating acid - so it doesn't add to the extreme dryness. As a daily product we recommend our Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion. That has acids to exfoliate and is extremely hydrating - both of what you need for KP. www.platinumskincare.com/triple-treat-body-lotion/
This was an EXCELLENT video...I should have come here first prior to the 50 other videos I watched, lol. In your opinion, could I possibly get similar results to fraxel laser (but for Much less and more time)?
I think there is a place for ALL of those amazing goodies out there. Needling, peels, lasers... Peels of course are my favorites.. with professional needling and PRF being a 2nd favorite. If you want to jump to TCA... then there are REALLY some positive changes that can be had - guaranteed. TCA has been proven in studies to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. So that is the #1 I recommend for anti-aging. For hanging skin.. or excess skin? That is surgery all the way. Nothing can fix loose skin other than a scalpel.
Great informational video on all the various peels. Awesome job!!! How would you incorporate micro needling with Glycolic peels on oily mature skin? Thank you again.
Hi thanks for all the knowledge sharing. I’m going to do the peel and it will be my first time. Skin type : dry. Purpose : skin whitening. My skin has little freckles with no other problems. So, I shall start with TCA or glycolic? thanks again for reading.
To help brighten the skin tone and lighten pigmentation we recommend a few acids. Mandelic 40 or Lactic 50 are both mild and will have just dryness and maybe some baby flakes. Jessners is a stronger option that is layerable and will have quite a good amount of flakes. Use Fade Bright Daily, Retinol .20 at night and NEVER forget the SPF 50.
A melain inhibitor is generally only needed on those with ethnic skin tones. Most with very white skin have quite a low chance of getting PIH *though they still can. Now that being said there are many that have had good luck in NOT getting PIH... but that is really just that... "luck". And never forget that you can do 50 peels in a row that go great...but that next one might be different. It is always easier to prep properly than to deal with a negative outcome.
I am a Fitzpatrick 5. I am using tazorac plus differin combination for now, when should I stop using these products before I initiate a superficial acid? A superficial peel could turn into a deeper peel otherwise? Thank you. Enjoyed the clear explanations.
If they sensitize your skin, then make sure to stop about 5 days prior to applying any peels. If they don't affect your skin then you can use them up to the day prior. I generally only stop maybe the night before. We are all different though.
Hello. What we want to stress is that the Mandelic 22 is the LEAST inflammatory peel that we have. It would be the Safest choice if you have Rosacea - but still want to do peels. Now that does not mean that you can NEVER do another peel ... ever. :) It is always your choice and many will use stronger acids on occasion without any issues. But that is the best option to Not Flare your Rosacea.
What would you recommend as the best Chemical peel and % for a 53-year-old CaucasianWoman, , who's beginning to experience thinning skin and very fine lines on forehead, due to menopausal hormonal changes?
It isn't really that ... what matters is what YOU are OK with. Social downtime or not? Sensitive skin? ... Are you all prepped with a good daily regimen? Retinoids, acid cleanser, ... Then, Please take THIS Peel Finder Tool Quiz. Answer the questions and it will tell you the best choice for your selections. .. Feel FREE to come back here and let me know what it recommended and IF you want to make adjustments we can from there. :) Here: www.platinumskincare.com/peelfindertool
We have our TCA Eye Peel video here: www.platinumskincare.com/eye-peel-intense-restoration-kit/ This can be done 1x per month to help stimulate collagen/elastin/glycosaminoglycans in the eye area. We are applying it very DRY for safety. So only a bit of dryness will happen. Add more layers each month as you would like. Other products like GHK Luxe (copper) can be helpful. www.platinumskincare.com/ghk-luxe-eye-cream/ If you have bags from underlying tissues falling though - that is a surgical need.
I just want to ask how do you feel about the skincare youtubers stating diy chemical peels are a big NO NO? Personally, I'd love to try one(tca to be specific) just by watching your vids but I'm still second guessing lol. Would love to get your response : )
Hello there. Well... I can't say that I have seen many on the no-no bandwagon. Most I feel are far TOO aggressive and share things that I feel are too strong for new users. We have been selling these for 19 years now though, and I am not too worried. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We respect them all. :)
@@PlatinumSkinCare So do you think I shouldn't be worried or scared. After all, I suppose I've done my research quite enough. I just really want to get rid of these scars so badly. Besides, there's still no face to face classes and I don't really go out unless it's necessary so the downtime wouldn't really be much of a concern😅😀
@@PlatinumSkinCare But anyways, I really appreciate your response. It means a lot. Tbh I've been watching some of your vids especially those tca related ones. My mind kinda just like baffles sometimes because i follow these channels with entirely different views on diy peels. Perhaps, I have to strengthen my guts and trust myself more lol
@@emil209 If you have done your research - you are probably ready to get started. I will always suggest starting with something mild like a mandelic 40 so you can get used to peels and how they work. Then move up to a stronger acid as you feel you are ready. No rushing. Watch our videos. We have many on acids, application, preparation, scar treatments, after care and more.
Which acid to remove a Sun Tan? ... or, are you referring to sun Damage? Spotting all over the skin? Don't perform peels on skin that has a summer tan. Let that fade and then start your peels. Sun damage can be treated quite well with an every day application of Fade Bright or Hydroquinone. After pretreating for 4 weeks, you can move forward to a Jessners peel (stronger/layered) or a milder Mandelic 40 peel (1x weekly or 1x every other week).
@@PlatinumSkinCare oh but i ordered tca 20% few hours before🥲from this. So tca ki beneficial for brighter my colour in few tones n’ i also have a dark forehead then other face n’ hyperpigmentation also, so now overall tca is good for me or not?? Btw i have a oily skin n i m a daily user of glycolic acid(11%) from many monthes
@@slowboy__ If your skin is a darker color - and you are dealing with PIH... you NEED to use a melanin inhibitor (www.platinumskincare.com/fade-bright-lightening/) first for 4 weeks prior to performing a peel. TCA 20 is too strong. You can dilute that in 1/2 and start with a 10% at 2 layers. NO sun, SPF 50 and a hat to shade the face when you are outdoors.
@@slowboy__ We sell it on our website - it is also on the TCA page. :) You can also get another product with at least 2% alpha arbutin or Hydroquinone to use instead.
If you apply an acid that is too strong for your skin....it is possible that your skin may go into a "shock-like" state and purge melanin....which is Post Inflammatory Hyper pigmentation. So you always want to work your way up and follow our guild lines. See the video below on how TCA works... www.platinumskincare.com/understanding-tca-safety-layers-frosting-percentages-schedules-preparation/
You do not need a phenol peel unless you have extensive scarring ... or ... you worked in a field the past 20 years without SPF and have very deep lines. :) Looking at your photo - I can't imagine that any doctor would dream of performing this type of peel on you. It requires heart monitoring and can cause death. Please use extreme caution in requesting something like this. Try instead ... a TCA 13. Begin with 2 layers and add on One layer each month. Take photos and watch your skin transform over a 6-8 week peel series. Much safer.
Cameron Dean this is a peel - not a leave-on product. The actual ingredient is Resorcinol. But, if you look into that you find it is made of hydroquinone.
Hi again Jen, If you still have rough dry skin hanging on at around the 1 week mark afyer this peel but everything else feels back to normal, can you start back on your tretinoin or should you wait until the skin is 100% back to normal? Thank you xx
I got a 100% TCA peel and I’ve used it a couple of times on my face. But I’ve literally left it on for 2 seconds because it starts to frost right away and i don’t want to mess up my skin. Yea I think I need to dilute it. But I’m very use to doing all these skin care things and I don’t have sensitive skin
Oh... that is not true at all. Don't think for one minute that if you do ONE higher percentage TCA peel you are going to have all of your skin problems solved. Peels don't work that way. No matter what you choose - it is going to be a series of 6-8 peels. TCA is great! But start with the 13% at 1-2 layers and work up to 5 layers* maybe... and then go from there.
Yes, absolutely. Salicylic and Jessners (which contains salicylic) are both excellent for Seborrheic keratosis. I would suggest the 25% salicylic here: www.platinumskincare.com/salicylic-peel-3-15-25/ or jessners here: ;www.platinumskincare.com/jessners-peel/ Body peels are generally done 1x per month *as the skin turns over very slowly/
Can we do lactic 50% for Indian medium tone skin without Fade bright or we needed Fade bright?? I want to get my peel done without PIH. I am a beginner (very 1st peel). And when to use Retinol if using acid serum at night (15/30%) for lactic acid skin prepration. Looking forward for your Reply.. 😊
Yes, that will be just fine. It is only the strong acids where you really need to pretreat. If you are using both Serum 15 and Retinol... I suggest to just alternate evenings. One night apply retinol and one night apply the acid serum.
You are very much helpful but i still don't know how to choose the peel either the glycolic, salicylic or TCA cause i have a dry, congested skin, acne, and dark acne scars
If you are dealing with acne: Salicylic 15% is a great place to start. Mandelic 40% would be another option that is a bit less "harsh". These are each a peel you can do 1x every 7-10 days. ... So about 3-4x per month. A stronger option would be Jessners. That can be applied 1x per month and is layerable.
You can. Fade Bright is the most important here to help turn down the melanin production and to help prevent/lessen any PIH possibilities. See this video: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin/
Hope you can reply, I have been looking forward to purchasing the tca 20% peeling. However, since I am from Chile, I would like to know if there is any chance the delivery get rejected. Do I need a prescription? Thanks in advance
Hello. #1. Please do NOT start with a TCA 20%. Prep your skin with a melanin inhibitor like our Fade Bright or a hydroquinone product for 2-3 weeks. Then, begin with 1 to 2 layers of TCA 13 instead. ... No, a prescription is not required. We do not know Chile's importing process though - so please research that prior to ordering. Some countries require a business to get skin care products ... or other issues.
Hello and thank you for your videos. A few years ago I used the Obagi system for about a week. I did this on two separate occasions. I have thin skin on my forehead and although there are no deep wrinkles I have plenty of small fine lines. I was concerned these treatments were making my already thin skin even thinner. I did wear an SPF 50 but I still developed dark patches on my forehead and also my cheek bones around the eye area and now the side of my face by my temples looks crepey. I’m nearly 49 and I never had these patches before. I should mention, I am mixed race black Caribbean and white English. I recently found an inexpensive glycolic serum which is only 4% in strength, I’ve been using it night and day and I have to say my skin looks brighter after only 1 week of use. I’m interested in trying your products but am not sure where to start, I don’t want to damage skin that is already thin but would like to combat the signs of ageing. What would you recommend? Do these peels make thin skin thicker? Thanks for a great video and any help in advance.
We generally recommend the Retinol .20% for evening use. It will help to thin the DEAD buildup of skin and will also help to stimulate collagen in the deeper layers. This is good for smoothing the look of lines. www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/ We have a nice 10% Acid cleanser called our Revitalizing Cleanser here: www.platinumskincare.com/revitalizing-glycolic-cleanser-10/ that will help to gently exfoliate daily. And, to target pigmentation, apply the Fade Bright 2x per day to clean skin *prior to any other serums, creams or oils. This will help to turn down the melanin production in your skin and help to fade back that sun damage that has made its way to the surface of your face. www.platinumskincare.com/fade-bright-lightening/
Hii im 20 from india. I have a dark circles from past 4 years. My dark circles are really big and dark. My skin type is combination and sensitive. Please mam suggest me which acid i should use. Please reply ❤️
Hello- I’ve been watching you for sooo long and I just realized that one of my new fave you tubers recommends your products. (Literally just put 2+2 together. So it got me excited). That said, I’m 38 years old and I have Dermal Melasma. I also have acne scarring that was brought on with age. (I always had beautiful skin). Aside from the Melasma and scarring, I’d like to use a peel that will address or help fight fine lines & wrinkles. Also minimize pore size if possible. I know this is a pretty tall order. So my question is this: Should I start with the TCA 13% or are their other products you’d recommend? I’ve never done a peel before. But my skin isn’t super sensitive. Thank you in advance and thank you for always explaining things in laymen’s terms. Love that about you. 💕 Should I start
Oh really? Wonderful to hear that!! Yes... retinol is the KEY for pores. IPL will help as well. You can see the video we have on pores for more information on that. www.platinumskincare.com/what-can-i-do-to-shrink-my-pores-1/ TCA 13 would be perfect for those lines and even melasma. Use Fade Bright 2x per day and also take a quick read on this page here for internal suggestions on melasma: www.platinumskincare.com/blog/face-mapping-to-solve-skin-issues/
Use each acid alone. You can layer a Jessners (14% salicylic, 14% resorcinol, 14% lactic) for 1 or more layers prior to a TCA peel. But do not combine these 2 different peels (TCA and Salicylic). 1. You would be diluting each in 1/2. 2. You do not know how the acids will react being combined. 3. You want to use each of these separately to see how each benefits you. 30% salicylic is VERY strong. Use caution with that. 4. You could "potentially" use the salicylic application in place of the Jessners peel. But I would not do this unless you have worked with each peel several times individually.
TCA works best on the body. Be sure to pretreat with Fade Bright for 2 weeks prior to using a TCA Peel. Please watch this video for further information. www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin-preparation-percentages-after-care-body/
Salicylic is great for oily skin - and Jessners is a blend (with salicylic, lactic and resorcinol) that is excellent for pigmentation issues. For dark circles I suggest you watch this video: www.platinumskincare.com/what-can-i-do-about-my-dark-circles/
1. Are these separate acids in separate bottles? 2. Or is this a combination with a TOTAL of the %'s you are stating? 3. Or are you wanting to MIX them together? As that would dilute both in 1/2. So lactic 15% and Glycolic 10%. *I would not suggest this. Other than the % ... those acids are fine on the body .. but they are so MILD that they really won't do much on the thicker body skin. I would suggest something like our Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion for a 3-5x per week treatment instead. See here; www.platinumskincare.com/triple-treat-body-lotion/
fizah haqq please read over this article on blackheads. Diet plays a large roll. www.platinumskincare.com/blog/face-mapping-to-solve-skin-issues/ Also, salicylic is excellent for digging deep into the pores to clear them out.
For KP we recommend the Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion daily *or every other day to prevent and treat. To specifically lighten pigmented skin - Fade Bright daily. Peels like Mandelic (super light on body) or Jessners would be great options.
I would suggest something simple like adding an acid cleanser to your daily regimen to get some of that off. Revitalizing Cleanser: www.platinumskincare.com/revitalizing-glycolic-cleanser-10/ 1-2x daily will help. Then add on a retinoid at night if you haven't already. Retinoids keep the skin turning over MORE quickly. I suggest Retinol .10 for sensitive skin before bed: www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/ Now.. if you want to do a peel, I suggest the Mandelic 22. Great for sensitive folks. :) You could do that 1x every 2 weeks.
Treatments for Sebaceous hyperplasia: Carbon dioxide laser, Excision, TCA. I would suggest the TCA 20% at 2-3 layers on the exact area. You can use a Qtip or our Wooden picks if they are very very small. www.platinumskincare.com/cotton-tipped-wood-picks/

Amazing video!
Super.
Thanks man!!
Thank you
Thank you 💓🌸
*Jessners, it's just pronounced Yessners.
Thank you! This was, by far, THE most informative presentation on acid peels anywhere online; clear, detailed and concise! Now I understand the differences between the various chemical peel options and which direction to go in for DIY peeling.
Super! That is exactly what we want to hear. It can certainly be confusing to know which is best - and no matter what... it will work out fine.
AGREE!!!! 100%
So true..
I’ve never done a chemical peel in my life and last night I did 3 passes of tca 7% and I am hooked!!! It was so easy, I watched your videos 20 times each probably lol, I knew exactly what to do, everything went great! My skin has never felt so smooth EVER! It tingled a bit but I had no irritation or negative side effects. I’m so excited to continue my peeling/anti-aging journey, thank you Jen!!!!
Wonderful job! 7% is a great acid to start with if you are really worried or have more sensitive skin ... or just want a bit less flaking than the 13%. Keep up the good work.
You have mad teaching and explanation skills btw, this is SUPER helpful.
Thank you!!!
I used Salicylic acid as a face wash for acne. I use glycolic to treat breakout and I have dared because of this woman a TCA peel on my lip lines and pigmentation. 6 months apart. I feel like a fresh snake with my new skin lol!! Thank you for your products and videos I love it!! ❤️
OH YAY!!! So happy to hear that you are moving up and seeing great changes with your adventurous self. :) Keep it up. Everything gets better as you progress.
I have bought almost everything you sell .. My skin looks younger and I feel so good love the triple threat lotion it helps with pigmentation and the serum the eye cream I am so glad I found this skin care.. Thanks so much.
Tina Turner thank you so much for sharing that! I’m so glad that you are finding products that really make a difference for you!!!
Christiana Weir-Whilby triple Treat and Fade Bright are both excellent for daily treatments. For best results though you will definitely need to add on the body peels. I suggest 20% Tca or 30% Tca.
I've scoured the internets and this is THE MOST INFORMATIVE and useful video I have found. SUBSCRIBED!! Will watch them all and for sure you have a new customer. THANKS for empowering your viewers!
Awesome, thank you! Glad it was helpful. If you have any questions, be sure to send us an email to: support@platinumskincare.com
I love my tca peels! I just did my first 20 percent after doing two 13 percent and it is way stronger ladies! Go in steps like she say don't jump to the highest right away bc you don't know if your skin can handle it!
Yes, always work UP to 5 layers of the 13% prior to moving up to the 20%.
@Platinum Skin Care that's actually a really good tip. How long do you wait between layers?

Jessners has been more intense than 20% TCA for me. It also stung more. Not a bad thing, but just noting that we're all a little different.
Oh yes! I feel jessners like FIRE. ... for about 4-5 minutes and then it is gone. 2nd layer takes a little less to go away ... 3rd layer takes a little less.

Hello, I admire the effort spent replying to every comment. Had a couple questions if you're willing
1. Any suggestions for glasses? I've heard the nosepiece can press into the skin, causing a deeper peel than desired or healing to fail, and it's recommended to not wear glasses for up to 4 weeks afterwards, but I need them to see at all.
2. Any statistics on exactly what undesirable effects are how likely to happen (TCA/Mandela)?
3. Some say to only have TCA peels done professionally because there's too high of a risk of complications otherwise, any thoughts on this?
4. How much longer would you say Mandelic peels would take than TCA to fade acne scars?
Thank you
Glasses are just a must if you wear them. If you are concerned with this - you can always avoid applying the acid to that area of your nose. Not a problem at all. A little dab of ointment will create a barrier before you apply the acid to your face. Truly, I would not worry about this too much. :)
I would say the most undesirable effect would be PIH. You can help to prevent that by applying a melanin inhibitor for 4 weeks prior to performing peels. IF you do get PIH .. it will be milder than it could have been.
Everyone has an opinion. Education is everything! Also starting with a reasonable % like 7 or 13 TCA and working up.
Mandelic is very very mild. TCA is a stronger acid. There are not specific times or comparisons between the two. They are not really comparable. TCA is far superior for major changes. But not everyone wants that. They want little to NO social downtime. That is where the Alpha Hydroxy Acid peels come in.
You are brilliant! I tried the gyclocic 30% for 30 seconds, got pain then great results! One layer only! I am 54 and look great thank you. So helpful🥰
So glad. Glycolic is a wonderful peel to start off with. Work your way up in time as you move forward. Pretty soon you will be able to leave it on for minutes at a time.
@@PlatinumSkinCare I used 70% on my hands and left it there for several hrs. Didn’t feel anything. Same with my forearms but washed it off after 7 min and felt nothing. Can I use on my face?

Thank you so much for this information! I've been considering lactic acid peel but I've never done peels before and I have dehydrated acne prone skin and at the age of 30 I'm getting sunspots and possible beginner pigmentation. I also have sensitive skin that gets irritated very easily. Thank you for the guidance.
Happy to help!
Which peel is best for dark skin,without developing hyperpigmentation?Thank you.
It is always best if darker skin types use a melanin inhibitor like alpha arbutin (in our Fade Bright) or hydroquinone to lessen the melanin production prior to peels. But, "generally" the milder acids are just fine. The acid choice really depends on what you are wanting to treat?
Acne = Salicylic 15 or Mandelic 40.
Very sensitive skin = Mandelic 22.
General refreshening = Glycolic 30
These are each great options.
Excited! Will be starting with the mandelic 22% :D
That is a wonderful acid to start using for a brand new peeler ... or someone sensitive, rosacea.. pre-teens.
I watched this a few months back, maybe last year. Now I'm back, ready for a peel
Excellent! We are glad you are back and ready!
@@PlatinumSkinCare I got a tca peel in the mail a little over a week ago. Just been prepping my skin
I absolutely love your content. It's very informative, precise and easy to follow. Unfortunately being in South Africa, we don't have access to your products and have to do with alternatives. The range of acid peels available to buy is very limited, unless if you go to ridiculously overpriced clinics for treatments. Jessners are hard, if not impossible to find. The rest are sold at ridiculously low % (e.g. -TCA 4% and 6%) yet very pricey. Highest Lactic you can get is 40% and salicylic is 30%. On the other hand, you find different % for same quantity of the same peel going for the same price (e.g. 10ml of Lactic 20% is same as 10ml for 40%)🤣! Like, its so ridiculous, I don't even think anyone knows what they are doing!
Well, that can certainly happen. Saliyclic 30% would be VERY strong. The 4 and 6% TCA... yes very low and would require probably about 5-8 layers to get a good peel on the face. We are glad that you found us.
om biracial andf have used 30% strong tca peels for a few years now and never had any problems so not its not almost always lol
Count yourself LUCKY! You are 50% more likely to get PIH. It can happen to anyone at any time - no matter how many peels they have done in the past. Use caution.
@@PlatinumSkinCare lol i don't know why ppl try to make simple things seem mysterious......you might be surprised that some women are actually "intelligent" and it only takes a basic one .....iv been self studying for 5 yrs at home on different skin treatments i do my own botox....sculptra...mesotherapy and much more.......peels are very easy to understand once you know how to prepare when you first start learning about them......ov .always had perfect skin too but your info is ok for newbies....nice video
@@PlatinumSkinCare "i" am 50"% more likely? oh lolol Do you not know that "biracials" have a completely different skin type to full blk?..different hair texture too......i remember having my hair done years ago from a top hairdresser.......completely ruined it but the main reason i do my own treatments at home (especially peels) is because i myself do a better job
This was excellent!
I need to watch again to see what to order. But well done with teaching. I came here with zero knowledge of peels
Just go with what you want to change and how much flaking you want to deal with. TCA 13 for aging skin. There is nothing better. Salicylic or jessners for acne. Type in your issues and I will give some help.
You are gorgeous! I want to dye my hair black now!! Love your look! Also, great video ❤️!
Ha! Thank you. It is a very dark brown. It certainly does look black in the videos though. Outside its a bit lighter and you can tell its brown.
Amazing video! Just wondering TCA or glycolic acid peel is better for dark spots?😀
I like Jessners or Mandelic for spotting. Jessners + TCA is also a good one.
Hi! This video was very informative and I'm so glad I found this company.
I want to do a chemical peel on my feet to reduce wrinkles and soften my feet and my knees to remove hyperpigmentation and even out my skin.
I was thinking of using the 20% TCA since I have Type 5 skin type. What are your suggestions?
What's a good pairing with TCA? The vitamin A peel or the fusion A luminosity method?
Caution with darker skin types. I suggest Fade Bright and Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion as a daily treatment. After 4 weeks, if you wish to do a peel, then the TCA 20% is an option. See here: www.platinumskincare.com/body-peels-which-acid-what-percentage-fitzpatrick/
I'm 45 and I have very wrinkled hands due to working in the sun without gloves for decades. Is there a way to reverse this damage with TCA peels? The other option is laser but that's a last resort.
You can absolutely do TCA peels on your hands! It works very well. It can take 20-30 days to start and finish the flaking process - but, that is normal for body parts. :) Use lots of emu oil and/or shea butter to keep them as moist as possible during this phase.
See this video on how to do that: www.platinumskincare.com/hand-and-body-peeling-tca-30-versus-glycolic-70-demonstration/
And this video: www.platinumskincare.com/body-peels-which-acid-what-percentage-fitzpatrick/
Remember that you will have to 100% protect your hands going forward. Gloves and High SPF always.
Thank you so much for the detailed information.. if possible post peeling how we need to take care of the skin? Please make a video on this..also educate us on can we use retinol,or other activities in daily skin care daily routine post peeling ? Or we should not use active ingredients in post peeling day or night skin care routine?? If we can use means how many days post peeling we can start skincare routine day or night routine with activities (milder % like lactic 10%,retinol 2%, glycolic/mandelic less than 10%..
Here is a video on after-peel care: www.platinumskincare.com/chemical-peels-flaking-what-to-expect/ When you are all done flaking, and your skin feels normal, you can go back to your daily regimen.
I'm a bit confused. This video tells me that mandelic is stronger than lactic. However, I read something different. "Mandelic acid has a larger molecular size than lactic acid, which means it penetrates the skin more slowly and is less irritating."
Yes... but molecular size isn't everything! TCA has an even bigger molecule (almost triple the size of lactic) - and look what THAT can do! :) Basically anything with a dalton of 500 or less will penetrate the skin with ease.
The best ever explanation! Love it.
Thank you!
Thank you . Which one you suggest for my legs ?
We recommend TCA 30 if you have a light skin tone. Medium to darker skin tones should use TCA 20 and also will need to pretreat with Fade Bright for 2 weeks prior to using the TCA Peel.
I like the way you teach us it’s very important to understand the science behind these. Chemicals ., I thank you very much and I have a question,,, can I use TCA 13 if I have mild rosacea????
There are definitely those that use it. What I can say is that we will only recommend the Mandelic 22 as safe for rosacea. For rosacea start using Vitamin C + Nano Hyaluronic every day. It will help immensely.
Very informative video! I've struggled with malasma and hyperpigmentation for years and have decided 2020 is when I need to do something about it. I'm approaching my mid 30s with sensitive, dry skin and prone to monthly hormonal breakouts which always leave a scar. I'm currently using the ordinary lactic acid 10% with HA 3x per week. I suspect I may need something stronger but I'm super nervous! I use spf 40 sunscreen. I'm at a loss with my skin. Any Suggestions?
10% lactic is pretty mild. I would suggest starting up with a weekly 50% Lactic peel. Then Fade Bright (or hydroquinone) 2x per day along with SPF 50. Retinoids at night will help the turnover as well. Consider something like our .20% Retinol Molecular Serum.
Hi, I have been using a 50% glycolic acid peel (not my first) for 2 or 3 months, but I have never experienced any peeling or flaking on my face, it does burn and I see very little improvements. A dermatologist told me that is normal that it doesn't peel and that it should be used daily, and I tried to use it more times but not daily. Yesterday it didn't even burn. Sould I start using a TCA peel?
A 50% glycolic peel should not ever be used daily. Possibly they were referring to an acid serum - like our Serum 15 or Serum 30. Even those you must start off with about 3x per week and work up to daily ... as your skin tolerates/acclimates.
AHA peels are not meant to give you a lot of flaking. They are the "lunchtime" peels for a reason. No social downtime. Expect a bit of dryness ... maybe a few flakes with these acids. If you are looking for flaking you need to move to a TCA or Jessners peel. Start with 1-2 layers your first time. Next MONTH you can add on 1 more layer. Continue as you see fit.
It would have been nice if you would have placed the names to the left of your had while you held the boxes. Sorry but some folks cannot read the box’s letters.😊
We apologize. We do mention each acid's name before the section - and during the explanation. Hopefully you can re-listen to that area and find out which interested you? If not, please write us back and we can help you here!
***Also - to make things SUPER easy, we have created our Peel Finder Tool, ... answer a few pertinent questions regarding your skin, the downtime you want, sensitivity levels... and it will tell you which acid will work best. You can do that here: www.platinumskincare.com/peelfindertool
I am pretty stoked about you're channel. RETINA destroyed my skin and gave me scary health side affects as well, so I will never ever take it again. I am just glad there is other skin care I can do. You have lovely skin yourself! Thanks :)
Thank you very much! :)
What happened with Retin-A?! 🥺
New to home peels. I was floored to learn I can do this myself. !! However, I am 71 yrs. young. My skin is in excellent condition with fine lines and I want help to eliminate or decrease the size. I order TCA. Did I Purchase the right acid?
Yes, TCA 13 is a perfect place to start. Start with 1-2 layers.
I have a question jennifer. I am black and have acne scarring on my back and shoulder. I prepped my skin with fade bright and melanin inhibitor for six weeks. I also washed my skin with soap and water and then cleaned it with alcohol. I did not spot treat, I applied the skin peel 50 percent on my right deltoid (shoulder area). I waited a few days and saw no frosting and no peeling. I felt a slight tingling/warming sensation when I applied but just the area closest to the arm pit got dry and flaked a little. No peeling. Did I do something wrong? What would you recommend?
Hello. You applied a 50% what? Glycolic? TCA? We do not manufacture a 50% TCA... so I can not help you with that. What is normal though on the body... is a peel taking 30 days to exfoliate. Don't expect to see anything for a good 10-14 days.
Hello mam, which peel is good for open pores???
For pores... see here: www.platinumskincare.com/what-can-i-do-to-shrink-my-pores-1/
Does the frosting mean to stop, or can I still put another layer on? (TCA 13%). Grateful if you can answer because different people say different things about frosting. Great product btw, thank you ☺️
Hi there. Frosting is good. It's not "necessary" to get flaking, but when you do see it you will definitely get some good skin sloughing. At home we never want a solid white - and most likely you wouldn't see that unless you were applying multiple layers of a TCA 20. ... So, a white speckling or haze is just fine.
You may choose to apply another layer on top of that (after the 5 minutes) to make it frost more... or, if you want you can just apply another layer of the TCA to the areas that did NOT frost. It is very common to have only certain parts of the face frost. Forehead, chin, cheeks are pretty good... but many other areas are slower to frost.
Just don't get too caught up in the frost. Even if it doesn't show at all you will still get some flaking. Progress slowly and see what kind of flaking that you are getting before you decide you want more.
Platinum Skin Care Thank you so much. I appreciate your concise answer!
@@Anastashya You are very welcome.
Such good advice..I have type 5 skin and followed your advice..it has helped me keep my melasma in check.
I am so glad that was helpful for you. We like to share proven methods to treat issues. Thank you for watching.
What peel you are using?
Dear Madam , which acid is best for skin lightening at home
Fade Bright 2x per day for melanin inhibition. SPF 50 every day. Mandelic 40 or Jessners are both great options.
You're awesome!!! Love your TCA 20% by the way:)
Thank you so much! Love that TCA! Agreed.
Will sacilyic acid remove blackhead??? I have clogged nose & chin (blackheads), extraction create skin damage/scarring/bigger pimples on me. What strength/how often would you reccomend it?
Salicylic is an excellent choice if you have clogged pores. It is oil-soluble and will DIG deep into the pores in search of oil. It will help to pull that up and out. Use a Cleanser like our AB Cleanser 2x per day to help with this. Another mandatory ingredient for pores is Vitamin A. Fusion A .15 is a great place to start 2-3x per week. Retinoids force the pore-lining to shed! This keeps your pores clear and tight!
@PlatinumSkinCare unfortunately I am allergic to retinoids :( is there anything else you would reccomend?
That is very interesting. Retinoids are considered to have NO allergic properties. See here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3834457/#:~:text=Generally%2C%20retinoids%20are%20considered%20to,GPMT)%20which%20is%20usually%20used. Usually it is just starting too aggressively. There IS a time where you are acclimating. It can be months to even a year. Milder is better in this circumstance.
Bakuchiol is an alternative to natural vitamin A.

New subscriber here! Love your channel! I have been experimenting with acids for years regarding my extreme KP situation. I am a 6 on the Fitzpatrick scale and wanted to know which of your acids you would suggest for me to purchase? I want to apply to full legs and elbows for KP....and would like to know which acid to purchase for hands and feet?
We love the Lactic 50 for KP. It is a more hydrating acid - so it doesn't add to the extreme dryness. As a daily product we recommend our Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion. That has acids to exfoliate and is extremely hydrating - both of what you need for KP. www.platinumskincare.com/triple-treat-body-lotion/
Amazing video! You explained everything so well! Thanks 🙏
Wonderful. We are so glad that you learned what you came here for. :)
This was an EXCELLENT video...I should have come here first prior to the 50 other videos I watched, lol. In your opinion, could I possibly get similar results to fraxel laser (but for Much less and more time)?
I think there is a place for ALL of those amazing goodies out there. Needling, peels, lasers... Peels of course are my favorites.. with professional needling and PRF being a 2nd favorite. If you want to jump to TCA... then there are REALLY some positive changes that can be had - guaranteed. TCA has been proven in studies to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. So that is the #1 I recommend for anti-aging. For hanging skin.. or excess skin? That is surgery all the way. Nothing can fix loose skin other than a scalpel.
Great informational video on all the various peels. Awesome job!!! How would you incorporate micro needling with Glycolic peels on oily mature skin? Thank you again.
I would definitely do alternating treatments. www.platinumskincare.com/mixing-different-treatments-peels-needling-ipl-lasers-microdermabrasions/
Hi thanks for all the knowledge sharing. I’m going to do the peel and it will be my first time. Skin type : dry. Purpose : skin whitening. My skin has little freckles with no other problems. So, I shall start with TCA or glycolic? thanks again for reading.
To help brighten the skin tone and lighten pigmentation we recommend a few acids. Mandelic 40 or Lactic 50 are both mild and will have just dryness and maybe some baby flakes. Jessners is a stronger option that is layerable and will have quite a good amount of flakes. Use Fade Bright Daily, Retinol .20 at night and NEVER forget the SPF 50.

Thank you so much for this video
Hello. I am sorry? Are you looking for training videos? Please go to our PeelUniversity.com to learn everything about peels, your skin and the acids.
I’ve been doing peels for yrs , never heard of a Mel it in inhibitor . Luckily I’ve never experienced any side effects
A melain inhibitor is generally only needed on those with ethnic skin tones. Most with very white skin have quite a low chance of getting PIH *though they still can. Now that being said there are many that have had good luck in NOT getting PIH... but that is really just that... "luck". And never forget that you can do 50 peels in a row that go great...but that next one might be different. It is always easier to prep properly than to deal with a negative outcome.
This video was just what I needed! Thank you so much! :)
So happy it was helpful for you!
Just place my order! Super excited 🙌🏾
Excellent! Let us know if you have any questions.
Which peel and strength would you recommend for the bikini area?
For????? Hyperpigmentation (50% Lactic or jessners) ... or, for ingrown hairs (15% or 25% salicylic).
I am a Fitzpatrick 5. I am using tazorac plus differin combination for now, when should I stop using these products before I initiate a superficial acid? A superficial peel could turn into a deeper peel otherwise? Thank you. Enjoyed the clear explanations.
If they sensitize your skin, then make sure to stop about 5 days prior to applying any peels. If they don't affect your skin then you can use them up to the day prior. I generally only stop maybe the night before. We are all different though.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you
@@Spicydoc1 You are very welcome.. Let us know if you have any other questions here or on our contact page: support@platinumskincare.com
I am a new subscriber here. And its my first time to try a peel. Where do i start? I’m turning 50 this March.
Give the video a watch. Start with a milder acid such as mandelic 40 or glycolic 30.
So if i have mild rosacea i can only use the mandalic acid peel of 22 percent
Hello. What we want to stress is that the Mandelic 22 is the LEAST inflammatory peel that we have. It would be the Safest choice if you have Rosacea - but still want to do peels. Now that does not mean that you can NEVER do another peel ... ever. :) It is always your choice and many will use stronger acids on occasion without any issues. But that is the best option to Not Flare your Rosacea.

Then, Please take THIS Peel Finder Tool Quiz. Answer the questions and it will tell you the best choice for your selections. .. Feel FREE to come back here and let me know what it recommended and IF you want to make adjustments we can from there. :) Here: www.platinumskincare.com/peelfindertool
Is there any peel that can have a lifting effect to under the eyes?
We have our TCA Eye Peel video here: www.platinumskincare.com/eye-peel-intense-restoration-kit/ This can be done 1x per month to help stimulate collagen/elastin/glycosaminoglycans in the eye area. We are applying it very DRY for safety. So only a bit of dryness will happen. Add more layers each month as you would like.
Other products like GHK Luxe (copper) can be helpful. www.platinumskincare.com/ghk-luxe-eye-cream/
If you have bags from underlying tissues falling though - that is a surgical need.
This was such a great video! I appreciate all of the information!
So happy this helped you!
I just want to ask how do you feel about the skincare youtubers stating diy chemical peels are a big NO NO? Personally, I'd love to try one(tca to be specific) just by watching your vids but I'm still second guessing lol. Would love to get your response : )
Hello there. Well... I can't say that I have seen many on the no-no bandwagon. Most I feel are far TOO aggressive and share things that I feel are too strong for new users. We have been selling these for 19 years now though, and I am not too worried. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We respect them all. :)
@@PlatinumSkinCare So do you think I shouldn't be worried or scared. After all, I suppose I've done my research quite enough. I just really want to get rid of these scars so badly. Besides, there's still no face to face classes and I don't really go out unless it's necessary so the downtime wouldn't really be much of a concern😅😀
@@PlatinumSkinCare But anyways, I really appreciate your response. It means a lot. Tbh I've been watching some of your vids especially those tca related ones. My mind kinda just like baffles sometimes because i follow these channels with entirely different views on diy peels. Perhaps, I have to strengthen my guts and trust myself more lol
@@emil209 If you have done your research - you are probably ready to get started. I will always suggest starting with something mild like a mandelic 40 so you can get used to peels and how they work. Then move up to a stronger acid as you feel you are ready. No rushing. Watch our videos. We have many on acids, application, preparation, scar treatments, after care and more.
@@emil209 Start small and work your way up. That is the smart way here.
Which acid for remove tanning?? Tca? Or glycolic? Please reply🙁
Which acid to remove a Sun Tan? ... or, are you referring to sun Damage? Spotting all over the skin?
Don't perform peels on skin that has a summer tan. Let that fade and then start your peels.
Sun damage can be treated quite well with an every day application of Fade Bright or Hydroquinone. After pretreating for 4 weeks, you can move forward to a Jessners peel (stronger/layered) or a milder Mandelic 40 peel (1x weekly or 1x every other week).
@@PlatinumSkinCare oh but i ordered tca 20% few hours before🥲from this. So tca ki beneficial for brighter my colour in few tones n’ i also have a dark forehead then other face n’ hyperpigmentation also, so now overall tca is good for me or not?? Btw i have a oily skin n i m a daily user of glycolic acid(11%) from many monthes
@@slowboy__ If your skin is a darker color - and you are dealing with PIH... you NEED to use a melanin inhibitor (www.platinumskincare.com/fade-bright-lightening/) first for 4 weeks prior to performing a peel.
TCA 20 is too strong. You can dilute that in 1/2 and start with a 10% at 2 layers. NO sun, SPF 50 and a hat to shade the face when you are outdoors.
@@PlatinumSkinCare your fade bright are not available in our country 🙁 any alternative?
@@slowboy__ We sell it on our website - it is also on the TCA page. :)
You can also get another product with at least 2% alpha arbutin or Hydroquinone to use instead.
If 20% TCA can be applied in 2 or more layers on the whole face, why can't I apply 30% TCA in one single layer?
If you apply an acid that is too strong for your skin....it is possible that your skin may go into a "shock-like" state and purge melanin....which is Post Inflammatory Hyper pigmentation. So you always want to work your way up and follow our guild lines. See the video below on how TCA works...

Ive been thinking about trying a phenol peel but Im not sure I need something that extreme.
You do not need a phenol peel unless you have extensive scarring ... or ... you worked in a field the past 20 years without SPF and have very deep lines. :) Looking at your photo - I can't imagine that any doctor would dream of performing this type of peel on you. It requires heart monitoring and can cause death. Please use extreme caution in requesting something like this. Try instead ... a TCA 13. Begin with 2 layers and add on One layer each month. Take photos and watch your skin transform over a 6-8 week peel series. Much safer.
Isnt 4% Hydroquinone the most allowed in America? How can this product have almost twice that? (Jessners)
Cameron Dean this is a peel - not a leave-on product. The actual ingredient is Resorcinol. But, if you look into that you find it is made of hydroquinone.
I have never used any acids or serums or anything?
I answered you in your other post. :)
Hi again Jen, If you still have rough dry skin hanging on at around the 1 week mark afyer this peel but everything else feels back to normal, can you start back on your tretinoin or should you wait until the skin is 100% back to normal? Thank you xx
Yes, if you are almost finished peeling.....go ahead and resume your Tretinoin.
this was so helpful.. ty saved it to my favorite..
Excellent! We are thrilled that you can use this as a reference in the future.
I got a 100% TCA peel and I’ve used it a couple of times on my face. But I’ve literally left it on for 2 seconds because it starts to frost right away and i don’t want to mess up my skin. Yea I think I need to dilute it. But I’m very use to doing all these skin care things and I don’t have sensitive skin
Never use 100% TCA on your face. Dilute that WAY WAY down.
Honestly, if I’m going to have to go through down time with peeling and flaking, I might as well do the deepest TCA.
Oh... that is not true at all. Don't think for one minute that if you do ONE higher percentage TCA peel you are going to have all of your skin problems solved. Peels don't work that way. No matter what you choose - it is going to be a series of 6-8 peels. TCA is great! But start with the 13% at 1-2 layers and work up to 5 layers* maybe... and then go from there.
Thank you for this excellent video. Would any of your products work for seborrheic keratoses on the lower legs? Thank you!
Yes, absolutely. Salicylic and Jessners (which contains salicylic) are both excellent for Seborrheic keratosis. I would suggest the 25% salicylic here: www.platinumskincare.com/salicylic-peel-3-15-25/ or jessners here: ;www.platinumskincare.com/jessners-peel/ Body peels are generally done 1x per month *as the skin turns over very slowly/
Can we do lactic 50% for Indian medium tone skin without Fade bright or we needed Fade bright?? I want to get my peel done without PIH. I am a beginner (very 1st peel). And when to use Retinol if using acid serum at night (15/30%) for lactic acid skin prepration. Looking forward for your Reply.. 😊
Yes, that will be just fine. It is only the strong acids where you really need to pretreat. If you are using both Serum 15 and Retinol... I suggest to just alternate evenings. One night apply retinol and one night apply the acid serum.
You are very much helpful but i still don't know how to choose the peel either the glycolic, salicylic or TCA cause i have a dry, congested skin, acne, and dark acne scars
If you are dealing with acne: Salicylic 15% is a great place to start. Mandelic 40% would be another option that is a bit less "harsh". These are each a peel you can do 1x every 7-10 days. ... So about 3-4x per month. A stronger option would be Jessners. That can be applied 1x per month and is layerable.
I have darker skin. I want to do a tca peel. Can I use fade bright and serum 15 together?
You can. Fade Bright is the most important here to help turn down the melanin production and to help prevent/lessen any PIH possibilities. See this video: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin/
Hope you can reply, I have been looking forward to purchasing the tca 20% peeling. However, since I am from Chile, I would like to know if there is any chance the delivery get rejected. Do I need a prescription? Thanks in advance
Hello. #1. Please do NOT start with a TCA 20%. Prep your skin with a melanin inhibitor like our Fade Bright or a hydroquinone product for 2-3 weeks. Then, begin with 1 to 2 layers of TCA 13 instead. ... No, a prescription is not required. We do not know Chile's importing process though - so please research that prior to ordering. Some countries require a business to get skin care products ... or other issues.
Hello and thank you for your videos. A few years ago I used the Obagi system for about a week. I did this on two separate occasions. I have thin skin on my forehead and although there are no deep wrinkles I have plenty of small fine lines. I was concerned these treatments were making my already thin skin even thinner. I did wear an SPF 50 but I still developed dark patches on my forehead and also my cheek bones around the eye area and now the side of my face by my temples looks crepey. I’m nearly 49 and I never had these patches before. I should mention, I am mixed race black Caribbean and white English. I recently found an inexpensive glycolic serum which is only 4% in strength, I’ve been using it night and day and I have to say my skin looks brighter after only 1 week of use. I’m interested in trying your products but am not sure where to start, I don’t want to damage skin that is already thin but would like to combat the signs of ageing. What would you recommend? Do these peels make thin skin thicker? Thanks for a great video and any help in advance.
We generally recommend the Retinol .20% for evening use. It will help to thin the DEAD buildup of skin and will also help to stimulate collagen in the deeper layers. This is good for smoothing the look of lines. www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/
We have a nice 10% Acid cleanser called our Revitalizing Cleanser here: www.platinumskincare.com/revitalizing-glycolic-cleanser-10/ that will help to gently exfoliate daily.
And, to target pigmentation, apply the Fade Bright 2x per day to clean skin *prior to any other serums, creams or oils. This will help to turn down the melanin production in your skin and help to fade back that sun damage that has made its way to the surface of your face. www.platinumskincare.com/fade-bright-lightening/
Hii im 20 from india. I have a dark circles from past 4 years. My dark circles are really big and dark. My skin type is combination and sensitive. Please mam suggest me which acid i should use. Please reply ❤️
I would like to send you to this video on Dark circles and puffy eyes: www.platinumskincare.com/what-can-i-do-about-my-dark-circles/
@@PlatinumSkinCare Okay thank you 😊❣️
Hello-
I’ve been watching you for sooo long and I just realized that one of my new fave you tubers recommends your products. (Literally just put 2+2 together. So it got me excited).
That said, I’m 38 years old and I have Dermal Melasma. I also have acne scarring that was brought on with age. (I always had beautiful skin). Aside from the Melasma and scarring, I’d like to use a peel that will address or help fight fine lines & wrinkles. Also minimize pore size if possible. I know this is a pretty tall order.
So my question is this: Should I start with the TCA 13% or are their other products you’d recommend? I’ve never done a peel before. But my skin isn’t super sensitive.
Thank you in advance and thank you for always explaining things in laymen’s terms.
Love that about you. 💕
Should I start
Oh really? Wonderful to hear that!! Yes... retinol is the KEY for pores. IPL will help as well. You can see the video we have on pores for more information on that. www.platinumskincare.com/what-can-i-do-to-shrink-my-pores-1/
TCA 13 would be perfect for those lines and even melasma. Use Fade Bright 2x per day and also take a quick read on this page here for internal suggestions on melasma: www.platinumskincare.com/blog/face-mapping-to-solve-skin-issues/
When is a acid safe to leave on skin . If diluted i can leave it on the skin?
A higher pH level can stay on. Usually around 3.5 - 4.5 are good for a leave-on daily acid.
Awesome video. Much appreciated.
We are thrilled that this is so helpful. :)
Can a 30% Salicyclic +20%TCA combination beneficial than TCA alone?
Use each acid alone. You can layer a Jessners (14% salicylic, 14% resorcinol, 14% lactic) for 1 or more layers prior to a TCA peel. But do not combine these 2 different peels (TCA and Salicylic).
1. You would be diluting each in 1/2.
2. You do not know how the acids will react being combined.
3. You want to use each of these separately to see how each benefits you. 30% salicylic is VERY strong. Use caution with that.
4. You could "potentially" use the salicylic application in place of the Jessners peel. But I would not do this unless you have worked with each peel several times individually.
I have olive skin Madam but have brown pigmentation on hands abdomen and back
What do you suggest
TCA works best on the body. Be sure to pretreat with Fade Bright for 2 weeks prior to using a TCA Peel. Please watch this video for further information.
www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin-preparation-percentages-after-care-body/
Which is the best peel for oily skin, suntan & dark circles?
Salicylic is great for oily skin - and Jessners is a blend (with salicylic, lactic and resorcinol) that is excellent for pigmentation issues. For dark circles I suggest you watch this video: www.platinumskincare.com/what-can-i-do-about-my-dark-circles/
@@PlatinumSkinCare how about carbon peel?
Thanks so much for all the useful information 👍
Glad it was helpful!
As a starter can i use combination of lactic acid 30% and glycolic acid 20%?? On my feet and knees and private areas?
1. Are these separate acids in separate bottles?
2. Or is this a combination with a TOTAL of the %'s you are stating?
3. Or are you wanting to MIX them together? As that would dilute both in 1/2. So lactic 15% and Glycolic 10%. *I would not suggest this.
Other than the % ... those acids are fine on the body .. but they are so MILD that they really won't do much on the thicker body skin. I would suggest something like our Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion for a 3-5x per week treatment instead. See here; www.platinumskincare.com/triple-treat-body-lotion/
Which of the acid peels is good for stubborn blackheads?
fizah haqq please read over this article on blackheads. Diet plays a large roll. www.platinumskincare.com/blog/face-mapping-to-solve-skin-issues/
Also, salicylic is excellent for digging deep into the pores to clear them out.
Which acid will help the best keratosis pilaris hyperpigmentation?
For KP we recommend the Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion daily *or every other day to prevent and treat. To specifically lighten pigmented skin - Fade Bright daily. Peels like Mandelic (super light on body) or Jessners would be great options.
I have dry skin stuck to my face on my cheeks under my cheekbones from wearing a mask :( what can you recommend? I have sensitive skin
I would suggest something simple like adding an acid cleanser to your daily regimen to get some of that off. Revitalizing Cleanser: www.platinumskincare.com/revitalizing-glycolic-cleanser-10/ 1-2x daily will help. Then add on a retinoid at night if you haven't already. Retinoids keep the skin turning over MORE quickly. I suggest Retinol .10 for sensitive skin before bed: www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/
Now.. if you want to do a peel, I suggest the Mandelic 22. Great for sensitive folks. :) You could do that 1x every 2 weeks.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you Is it safe for seb derm skin
@@lisagardner4814 Hello. I am not knowing what "seb derm skin" is. I am sorry. What I recommended would be find for anyone though. :)
Hii, I loved the video. Do you ship the peel to France?
Yes We ship worldwide.
Which acid do you recommend for sebaceous hyperplasia (flesh colored bumps)? Thanks!
Treatments for Sebaceous hyperplasia: Carbon dioxide laser, Excision, TCA. I would suggest the TCA 20% at 2-3 layers on the exact area. You can use a Qtip or our Wooden picks if they are very very small. www.platinumskincare.com/cotton-tipped-wood-picks/
Can we do microneedling after peeling ? Otherwise how long we are supposed to wait . If we are adults.
Please see here for recommendations: www.platinumskincare.com/mixing-different-treatments-peels-needling-ipl-lasers-microdermabrasions/
Can I combine peels together?
Yes, if you are an advanced peeler.

I love your informative videos 😀
Ethel Couturier thank you so much! We appreciate that very much. If you could, share it with any friends that might find it interesting as well.
Is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation a permanent reaction?
It can be treated. We suggest using the Fade Bright 1-2x per day and SPF 50 to lighten it again. An evening concentrated retinoid will help as well.
