I rely heavily on reviews and I'm not the only one. Most ppl on the web rely solemnly on reviews. I wish more of us wrote more in depth reviews they are beyond reliable and useful and just overall necessary. So now for my drawn out product review. This is probably the best chemical peel ever! However, you must repeat it every few weeks or every month or two. It still is not magic and won't take everything away immediately. If you have hyperpigmentation buy a simple fade cream palmers or nadinola work great. Nothing happens over night. Chemical peels are just deep exfoliates not overnight dark spot correctors so keep that in mind when you consider anything for your skin. Pure glycolic acid at a low percentage can be good as a daily toner but that also stings. NOTHING WORKS IMMEDIATELY!
Now back to PIRINGUBU JESSNER'S SKIN REVIVIFYING PEEL SET. It takes about a week to complete. It comes with PIRINGUBU GRAPESEED PEEL PRIMING SOLUTION, PIRINGUBU ACID PEEL NEUTRALIZER and PIRINGUBU POST PEEL CREAM. These products are necessary in achieving your goal of clearer skin, furthermore, that post peel cream is really soothing after peeling.
Once you put it on after about 30secs to 1min. it'll burn like hell then it'll whiten a little (what they refer to as frosting) which on my face and back it pretty much looked like smeared powder or just ashy skin. If it burns you can use a fan or try to tolerate it as long as you can. If you see little blisters or white tiny pimples or bumps anywhere that just means it's working and bringing up any toxins that lay underneath your skin. I was freaked out at first but I noticed I had it only in spots that I frequently had extra acne or stubborn hair. Nasty I know however, I picked at them the first time which caused scarring but by the third time I used it it didn't happen and I'm glad the scarring finally disappeared. I used the acid neutralizer since I've heard that is best. Because my skin is sensitive once I put it on I literally let cold water pour on me for like five to ten minutes. This also helped to keep the burning sensation down as long as the water is running softly not hard, hard will also burn.
Within the next two days my skin tightened up and looked shiny. Do not rub it on your skin or scratch as that will burn and leave even more scarring. I had two burn marks the first time from rubbing my skin with a wet cold wash cloth which is why I began to just let the water run on it especially my back. Do not use a wash cloth at all. If it burns too much wash it off immediately as that is a sign your skin is too sensitive. If it turns red while frosting or applying--immediately wash off and keep washing until you feel no more burning. Read the instructions and do not use soap afterwards. For me using soap after letting the water rinse it off has irritated my skin every time so you might want to cleanse first and don't cleanse again until the next day. Do a skin test! I didn't and most people don't I never do and yes I still don't but I only use what I know now will work. Please beware you want to fix your skin not damage it more and everything is not for everyone. However, the longer it stays on the more effective and better it works. You won't take it lightly but you might get use to it after a while. The first few times I used acne free severe acne as a cleanser and alcohol as a toner.
After the first couple days it will begin to peel, when it does it looks as if you've been burned 3 degrees deep and it's starting to heal. Do not pick at it or pull it this too will cause scarring. I use my own soap and moisturizer as I have "fix it skin". Whatever I do to my face I do to my entire body. YES MY ENTIRE BODY! (Except for my genitals hand palms and soles of my feet other than that nothing is off limits).
Also, keep in mind consistency is key...exfoliate or scrub your skin well and use a fade cream 2xs daily you'll see results in 1-2 weeks or less. I am a black light skinned women 30yrs old with 3 kids. My kids made my skin worst. Now I'm finally the best I've ever been, even post-children. You live and you learn. I've been waxing since 2001 and using peels since 06'. I stopped both in 2015 and haven't had a problem since. With 3 little ones I don't have time for peels, their after effects or the downtime in order to ensure they work properly. I scrub my skin (exfoliate), and use a fade cream. However, if you want a peel this one is the best. Trust me I've had hundreds. You really don't need to buy the kit just using the acid became good for me. The kit comes with a sample microdermabrasion scrub which is also great, but also can be brought separate. The other stuff is not for me. Keep in mind also when you use a fade cream don't rub it everywhere as my skin started out as like two-toned patches when I first began fading. Focus more on the darker areas it's the best way to see fast results and I don't have to burn my skin for it to work.
Cellulite or other skin firmers also work well on stretch marks along with fade creams but always do your homework first. Again I have 3 kids and thought my body was done! However, I found what works the best and at 30 I have 10year old skin. My skin is so well I might end up with a 4th kid by 31. Black ppl never think we need sunscreen. Use a sunscreen everyone. Sunscreen helps to keep your skin even toned at its original skin complexion before/after and during sun exposure. My children are mixed and like their mother they all 3 too have eczema and fix it skin my oldest is caramel a little darker than me and my two youngest are damn near white and we all have the same skin and hair. Whatever I do to my skin I do to theirs. But I would never put acid on my children EVER! So why put it on me therefore last year I stopped after my nena was born and my skin has been softer and clearer than it's ever been. Tans damage your skin I don't care what your ethnic background is and quite frankly to be honest neither does acid which can also damage your skin.
Read reviews and research every product you take an interest in before using it. Don't just go with what worked for someone else or what you feel may work best. And let's be real not everyone will let you in on their little secrets whether friends or family as if it's top secret or something lol. Don't be discouraged and if something doesn't work once it's ok. It's 2016 ask and you shall receive. Anywho, Take care of YOU inside and out. A healthy diet, exercise and proper skin care regimens with patience and persistence you will be soooo happy.
I love pizza but it produces acne I'm good! After my second son I developed tummy issues as well so I definitely took an interest in eating better. LOL! I finally found what works for me. And everything I use I got from a hair supply store down the block. I hope if you took the time to read all I wrote that you too will find happiness through what works for you. Good luck to all and I hope you have better years with better skin days. If only I knew then what I know now.
