Thinking about ordering the super cp serum. Does anyone know if the super cop is much better or too irritating ? It seems a bit more expensive and I'm trying to save up a bit for the smoothbeam. Read so many posts about the copper peptides seems it's worth a try. Thanks!

hey scorpion_vixen, can u pls tell me where can i buy the salicyclic acid peels and the mandelic acid(what's the purpose of this mandelic acid? :-s )..are they available online?? thanks!

[Steve321]

meme you can purchase the salicylic peel from www.glycolicpeel.com..

They actually have a special on the 4 oz package for 89.99 which is cheaper than the 99.99 they had it at prior..

From what i undertand mandelic peels are for people with darker complexion...

thanks both.. for your replies..i have another question though!! =P~
for both salicyclic and glycolic peels..is there any down time..i mean would my skin go all flaky? or would my skin have breakouts b4 the peel starts working for me?? :-s thanks!!

[Steve321]

a far as both pees are concerned.. From what i understand is that you will peel for 2 or 3 days after the peel..

as far as it breaking you out.. It shouldnt..But i guess thats more on the individual and how he or she reacts to it.. but it really shouldnt break you out

meme: I have done a lactic acid peel and did not actually experience any peeling. I only left it on for 3-4 minutes and put moisturizer on afterward.
I didn't have any down time.

ok..thanks a lot..now all i have to do is to choose the proper peel for myself..hope that i'll choose the right one!! or else.. ](*,)

I really cannot emphasize enough how strong the salicylic acid peel is. Please....all of you do a test spot before doing the peel. It will burn like the dickens; even for people like me with extremely tough skin. #-o

It's always safest and best to start out at lower versions of acids and work your way up. If your skin is used to exfoliation, then the strong salicylic acid peel may not be too much, but you can dilute it with distilled water if it's really hard on your skin.

Will19 burned his skin with a 30% peel a few weeks ago so we always have to be careful!

Hi denise2 and all who could help,

Need some help from you guys here.

I have read abt your success stories and thus would like to try out CP stuff and all... hope tt would clear my acne and scars.

So since i am 22 and still prone to acne breakouts, am i right to say that i need to have all the below products?

morning:
Cleanse.
Apply CP serum in conjuction with a 2% salicylic acid or a benzoyl peroxide acne cream, if so which apply first?
Then apply moisterizer- emu oil? (To prevent dryness??)

NIght
Cleanse.
Apply CP serum . That's all or with a 2% salicylic acid?
Then apply moisterizer..

Every 3-4 weeks, do peels - 30% Glycolic acid.

Am i getting the sequence right? Pls enlighten as I am new to these products.

Oh my skin condition is moderately oily, so are these pdts suitable for these skin typeS?

Thanks.

YES, Denise, you are sooo right; I did a salicylic acid peel last week for less than one minute and it burned so bad I had to take it off. It took 7 days to heal and I peeled like crazy--I'm just now getting back to normal. I will definitely take your suggestion and dilute it next time with distilled water.

[meme]

i'm thinking of getting the lactic peel =P~ ..it was supposed to be the gel type as it is called the lactic gel peel..if so, can i still dilute it with water?? :-k or should the peel be in liquid form?? :-s

[Denise2]

Eleven, it's very hard for me to give specific advice on skin care regimens. What I can tell you is that I DO still break out also, (mostly minor) and that you can do the glycolic peels more than every 3-4 weeks. You can do them twice a week, actually. The salicylic acid peel is much, much stronger than a 30% glycolic peel.

Otherwise, I would strongly suggest you go to homepeels and read the various products that Skin Biology has, that way you can see what best suits you and your skin type. I also wouldn't use emu oil in the morning, it's too thick. Only use it at night. If you want a good day moisterizer that's great for acne, there is one from Living Nature that is very soothing and toning, and it's a clear gel, not a cream. It's all natural. It's called the Manuka Oil and Honey Gel, and you can get it at: www.allnaturalcosmetics.com

Hope that helps!

I have been using cp serum and lactic peels for two months and have had great results. My question is...I recently switched to super cp serum and I also bought super cop cream. Can I use the super cp serum and still apply the cream on my scars afterwards? OR would this be overdoing it? Thanks!

[will205]

OR would this be overdoing it?

I think it would but go to delphiforums and ask there because many posters at that forum have been using CP for years.

I'm in love with this product!!!It's not just good for acne prone skin, but the little patches of ezcema on my face dissapeared after a few days of using this gel - also, it's great for applying on lips - also kills cold sores. I LOVE IT!!!! I just (today!) received shipment for another 5 jars - it's great value and their shipping is only about 5 days to the UK. Very efficient. I also ordered some of their day cream and manuka oil too!!

Thanks Denise - I always love the products you use

[Denise2]

No problem, Maya. I love that stuff, too. Every single Living Nature product I've tried is awesome. I ordered some eye cream but it's on back order right now (BUMMER). But it is one of the best product lines out there!

About emu oil, another favorite......I literally gave myself a slight concusion a few weeks ago and had a bump the size of an egg on my forehead with cut (another scar to heal ](*,) #-o ) and 45 minutes of icing did nothing compared to the emu oil.

The emu oil literally and instantly took the swelling down. Not that I didn't have some swelling and a knot, but at least I no longer looked like the Elephant Woman :-s 8-[ .

My father-in-law fractured his foot the other day and his foot was so swollen they couldn't tell if they needed to operate or not. I told my mom to get some emu oil right away and massage it onto his foot to get the swelling down.

That emu oil really is awesome stuff, too!
