My first chemical peel was a NeoCutis 40% peel. 40% refers to the percent of “active ingredient” such as the peeling agent. (NeoCutis no longer offers chemical peels). I loved my first chemical peel. I have a T-zone that tends to get clogged and likes exfoliation.
We were on the hunt for a new peel when we discovered VI Peel. It’s a more intense peel that targets the concerns clients have been mentioning:
- Lighten pigment or sun damage
- Improve fine lines
- Brighten skin
- Improve tone & texture
Given my previous chemical peel experience, I raised my hand (with zeal!) to try the VI Peel.
I did my first VI Peel on a Thursday, and started peeling (SERIOUSLY) on Saturday. I’ve documented my journey in detail below, so follow the progression and proceed with a peel if you think you can
- Avoid the sun for 1-2 weeks
- Avoid picking
- Are willing to tolerate face and eyebrow dandruff for about a week, and then be gratified with glowing skin 😊
The biggest change in my skin after the peel is the overall tone & texture, which I don’t think is captured well in the pictures. It’s recommended to get a series of 3 peels to truly see improvement with pigment, but I did notice my skin was brighter after just 1 peel.
