| Pros | - Fantastic result - Pain Free |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Blue tint left for 24 hours - 5 weeks downtime - Price |
| Bottom line | OBAGI BLUE PEEL: I am in London, and 20 years old, I have had acne since the age of 14 and had really bad scarring. I tried everything from bio-oil to creme de la mere, and although they helped, nothing helped more than the OBAGI BLUE PEEL. It took 40 minutes by my specialist to apply and take off, and with 48 hours i was peeling. Whats great about it is that it gets rid of all your spots that includes white heads and black heads, and scarring that you have. It took my skin 5 weeks to fully mend itself and thank god my skin is now flawless. However I have done alot to maintain this. i.e. I am on a strict cleansing, toning, and moisturizing regime as prescribed by a specialist (obagi products) and eating healthily. I have also found that drinkin 2 litres of water a day has helped TREMENDOUSLY and i have kept my skin flawles The price for this peel was £1000 which is about $2000 I presume |

| Pros | the texture of skin becomes smoother after just one peel. kinda lighten some scarrings |
|---|---|
| Cons | once you get the peel u'd better get prepare to stay at home for a week!!Your face will look scary for a week n u gotta control your hands to not tear off the flaking skin! |
| Bottom line | I got the LUNCHTIME PEEL at the dermatologist office and the lady told me that there would be little or no downtime and this treatment wont peel like what the Vitalize peel does, it will be slight flaking but not actually peeling like a onion...my face turned super red in a hour after the treatment, n the redness last until the third day morning, eventually the redness became dark brown n glassy, some spots around the corner of my eyes even became the scabs! The whole face was so tight n dry..at the third day's night the skin actually started peeling around the mouth...it was not FLAKING, it was peeling like the onions!!! (I'm so glad that I didn't get Vitalize peel) I couldn't go out for 4 days because the serious peeling.I have 2,3 small breakouts after the peel but they cure fast..it's my fourth day after the peel, I'm glad to see the result after just one peel! |

| Cons | For a few days it creates this outer layer, usually a darker shade in comparison to my skin tone, looks kinda glassy |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | Didn't really work for me, but I think it works if you try it every two weeks. |

| Pros | Leaves your skin baby smooth and clear, takes 20 minutes, very mild treatment, |
|---|---|
| Cons | Peeling takes a few days, a bit pricey |
| Bottom line | 28 y/o F: If you're like me with very light acne & some scarring from your teen yrs, the Vitalize Peel is what you should get! I did it on a Fri. afternoon, started peeling by Sun. morning & got the worst of it on Mon. After that, the peeling was very mild but I felt like a leper on Mon. My face was also a bit red, but my family swore up & down it was my imagination. Maybe it was. I suffer from a lot of blackheads, which are very difficult to clean. This peel removed almost all of them & the ones that were left were at the surface. All I had to do was push lightly down and out they came! One pimple that would never go away completely & would always scar has now risen to the surface & all I have to do is wait for it to heal or burst/heal & my skin will be perfect. It's now Wed. & I have a little peeling around my neck & near my ears. Just make sure to moisturize & stay out of the sun. Best part - I only have to maintain once/year! Best decision I ever made was a Vitalize |

Louise from Newcastle, England
March 7, 2009
| Pros | None as yet |
|---|---|
| Cons | Made some of my spots worse, and I actually have gained some wrinkles that I didn't have before. I now believe your epidermis is there for reason and should not be burnt off! The skin is now much more sensitive and open to damage. |
| Bottom line | Totally not worth the cost. I've had one out of my four TCA peels. They've told me to have the other 3 one week apart but I think I'll pass - I do not believe they are beneficial and for acne prone skin it makes us unable to use deep cleansing products as you then have to be so gentle with the damaged skin. Don't bother - have lots of facials and use good products instead. |

| Pros | I have had absolutely great results with TCA chemical peels. I have had them done at an expert dermatologist's office and had no adverse reactions. Acne scars are have been diminished significantly. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The only con is the redness and peeling that occurs for about 5 days after. |
| Bottom line | I first got a 35% TCA peel, then moved up to 55% and have had great results. Never do them at home! Spend the money for a professional. They work great at removing red marks and fading and smoothing deep acne scars. I haven't had any permanent scarring like the people stating they did them home. TCA peels are a lot safer than phenol peels, and as long as you follow the doctor's orders and don't pick at your skin and stay out of the sun, you should be fine. |

| Pros | None. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Downtime, cost, and break outs. |
| Bottom line | I got a chemical peel done to my face and it burned like hell! Not to mention that I looked like a burned victim for 3 days afterward. After my leather feeling red skin peeled off I was fine for about 2 more days and then BAM, I started to break out and as each day came I got more acne. I was getting 1-2 zits a week at the time before this treatment, now I have 2 cystic knotts under my skin and other small ones. It's been a week and I'm waiting for my skin to clear. Unless you like wasting money and enjoy painful procedures that just make you worse, I wouldn't recommend chemical peel. Oh and look up hyper pigmentation cause that has happened to some people from doing this. |
