ski bunny, usa Nov 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Got rid of Pregnancy Mask Cons: Down time, severe acne, redness, swelling, did I mention acne Bottom Line: Went in for a light TCA peel in hopes of reducing pore size and removing dark spots/preg. mask. I was told down time would be about 5 to 7 days. About day 5 my entire face broke out in acne(had never had acne) there were at least 200 spots on my face. Unsure of what was happening, called dr. office. They said I must be allergic to the antibiotic ointment and discontinue use. Another week passes and it is not anybetter, go to my dermatologist. Prescribed medication to dry up the spots. It is about 1 month later and I'm still not 100%. I don't think my skin will ever be the same. It is very red, sensitive, and still breaking out. Recommended: No Price Paid: 1,100.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Christina, Germany Nov 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: The only thing that manages my acne prone skin- I have extractions and a B-hydroxy peel every month. I also use Mandelic acid 15% morning and night. My skin is smooth and flawless where it used to be covered in tiny pimples. Cons: My face is a bit tender after the peel- for me my face is sensitive 1-5 days depending on how severe the peel is (whether you have it done at a spa or a dermatologist). Bottom Line: For me it works. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 130.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

NewUser, New York, NY Oct 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears up acne and reduces fine lines Cons: Results do not last Bottom Line: I had a Chemical peel (TCA/30%) last year. After four to five days of downtime, my skin did look younger and healthier. Acne, acne scars, and fine lines were reduced. However, my results were temporary. I believe this is because skin is swollen and plump after a chemical peel which visible reduces some skin imperfections. After some time, my skin returned to its original state. Would recommend this treatment if you can deal with the down time and want to temporary improve your skin for an upcoming event (party, event, etc.) Recommended: Yes Usage: NewUser has used this item for an inconsistent period of time.

sahil, middle east Oct 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: one of the worst treatment for acne scars Cons: dont waste ur money doing dis,it wont help @ all Bottom Line: skin wil look very nice for 3-4 days aftr treatment,but after sumdays it wil becum d same lyk before.its beter 2use any cream rather than doing such treatments,even laser treatment isnt effective.d best treatment is to use any ayurvedic cream,Dr's jst know hw 2 mint money,they dnt care whther ur skin is sensitive,hard,soft,etc,they wil jst run their machines n treatment on ur face lyk a butcher does 2 slaughter goats.trust me,its beter using any cream for scars rather than takin apointments n visiting Dr's n wasting money Recommended: No Usage: sahil has used this item for about a week.

laura, maryland Sep 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: After the light redness goes away and the peeling stops, about 5 days later. Your skin looks tighter and has more of a glow, but that only lasts for a few weeks. Cons: The VI Peel didn't remove dark spots, light skin unevenness, and really didn't remove or lessen light wrinkles. Bottom Line: I have had alot cheaper vitalize peels for 150.00 and it seemed to work alot better for the money! Recommended: No Price Paid: 375.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful?

Erika Campos, Los Angeles, CA Aug 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: i had it done today so i hope it works! Cons: burns when they put the peel on and for like an hour after..but then it starts to look and feel better.. try not to irritate or scrub your skin too much before your chemical peel cuz it burns more on the sensitive spots. Bottom Line: can't say if its gonna work yet but the doc said 90% success in clearing up acne after a few times so i really hope it does work :) he showed me a lot of before and after photos of his patients and it sold me.. so I paid $700 for 8 laser and chemical peel treatments.

Lumma, New York, NY Aug 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I have giant zits, and milia, the pimples occasionally found beneath the skin. The place i went to to get this done, was amazing. My skin looks like a baby's ass. Smooth and FLAWLESS. Cons: You eyeball becomes really dry, and you get sever headaches, and then you crave cigarettes. Bottom Line: You should get it, although.. now I've started smoking, and i have to eye drops every two hours, but other than that, my skin is my primary priority and now that, that is done i can relax :) Recommended: Yes Usage: Lumma has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 69.99 Acne severity: severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

anonymous, ga Aug 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: some downtown, it really depends on how fast your skin recovers, for me, it takes about 3-5 days Cons: burns like hell when the chemical peel is applied, but it's worth it in the end... and STAY OUT OF THE SUN!!! Bottom Line: I have had really bad acne scarring since the beginning of January after having really bad severe acne last year. The texture of my skin was not smooth, there were craters EVERYWHERE and it looked like i had really bad stretch marks on my face. so I ended up doing chemical peels since January. It's now August, and after having the peels performed on me once a month since January (just finished my 8th peel), my skin texture is sooooooo different! MY GOD! It's so smooth now, and MUCH LESS craters. I've noticed after each peel, I saw a 5%-20% improvement. Doesn't sound like much, but think about it, I've been using using it for the 8th month now, so my skin texture is WOW. the craters are more plumped up so it's more even with my normal skin, and a lot of the discolorations from the acne scars are almost gone. If you have never gotten it done before, I would suggest going to your dermatologist's office to see if it's right for you. Recommended: Yes Usage: anonymous has used this item for about a year.

Smiley, Berlin, Germany Aug 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: gets rid of all existing acne fast, lightens red spots at first. Cons: causes tons of blackheads (I use to never have many blackheads and now I have a ton!) Bottom Line: I have had one vitalize peel and three PCA peels (different then TCA.) I am always happy with my results at first, but they don't seem to last long. I have had some of my red spots fade, but some just regain color. I am told that after six your skin is normally great, and I have almost had six so Im wondering just how effect these peels are in the long run. I think it is still worth it though, because it does help with acne. Recommended: Yes Usage: Smiley has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 250.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
