Applying a chemical peel


Apply a drop of peel solution to a small area of your face. After 30 seconds, rinse liberally with cold water. This technique is called patch testing.
It may sting or have some redness. Excessive stinging or redness may indicate that you need a lower strength peeling acid. Our products are designed for those experienced with skin peeling treatments. If you are unsure of your tolerance level, we recommend using a low strength peel to build tolerance. Only leave it on for 30 seconds the first time.
