�SHERRY� 5,081 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I have never use one before but i have heard so many good things about chemical peel/exfoliation(they are the same thing right?). If you are using one, which brand are you using? I would like to start using it and the one from Skin Inc seems very good but expensive at $55. So perhaps someone here can recommend me a good one but cheaper than Skin inc. Or should i just splurge on it? Skin inc Pure revival peel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denizen mars 5,911 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 You def. don't need to pay $55 for one of these. Ones called 'peels' are generally a higher concentration and meant to be used rarely; I believe I've heard good things about MUAC's. You can use an AHA with a lower concentration, say 8% or 10% glycolic acid, more frequently or even daily if your skin tolerates it. I like Paula's Choice's 8% AHA gel which is around $20 and lasts a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghettoe 1,955 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I use a chemical one from Peter Thomas Roth. It's not that it's bad but I want to go back to using natural products. My skin seems to respond better. I tend to never know what's breaking me out so I like my skin care simple and with as little ingredients as possible. So if I try honey and it breaks me out, I know to stay away. However, when it comes to store bought products. I can't pinpoint the ingredient.

Also patch-testing products before you go gung-ho with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I try honey and it breaks me out, I know to stay away. However, when it comes to store bought products. I can't pinpoint the ingredient. My skin is oily and prone to breakouts. My friend advised me to use natural honey. So it's a no go? Any good advises on natural skin care products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also patch-testing products before you go gung-ho with them. Even if I patch test I can't be sure, plus sometimes I can't tell if it's a new product or a change in climate. For instance, summer wreaks havoc on my skin far more than winter. As I grow older, I'm less willing to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
