At Home Chemical Peel?

Can anyone suggest a good one that I can buy at the pharmacy? Thank You Leslie

I'm not sure what kind of peel you're looking for, but Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel is one of my faves.

If you want someting stronger, go with glycolic or lactic acid peels. Lots of sites sell them. I got mine from www.makeupartistschoice.com.

i would definetly try the glycolic or lactic, go the makeup artist web site, they have section that will help you decide which is best for you,

there is a stronger TCA peel, but i would do the others first for at least 6 months, and not even consider TCA unless you are in your mid 30's or over(at least not without a professional doing it)

i'm loving the philosophy lactic acid peel pads. i don't need anything that's too strong, but this product is evening out my skintone and shrinking my pores like crazy. i haven't had a breakout in weeks! i may switch my entire skincare regime products to philosophy. i'm totally sold!

Leslie...I believe you purchased an intellegence thermal fusion masque from our company(website below) not too long ago. If you use it 5 minutes at a time, 3-5 days in a row, you will get the same results as a chemical peel with out the chemicals.

Let me know if you have questions,

Ann

there is the l'oreal renoviste peel kit..it has mixed reviews, and i haven't tried it, but it's levels are extremely low, so there is no risk of damage..there is also the olay micro and peel kit. there was a thread about it..i thought it was interesting. if you are really looking for something stronger and effective, i agree with patsluv about makeupartistchoice.com and the avon anew chemical pads are a GREAT starter peel (they have the same levels as the l'oreal and olay), but for some reason this one was found to be more effective. after u try 10% ga you could increase to 30%.

I love your name, by the way. Yes, I have. I'm talking about diminishing redness, though, not actual scarring. Not that you have scarring. I have no idea.

I know that others have seen less than desirable results, though, so you may want to purchase it from somewhere that accepts returns.
And this is where I begin to go somewhat

.

I don't know what's up w/ Differin Gel & Cream. They both seem to prolong redness (for certain individuals). My husband uses the cream on his nose, only, to clear up and prevent blackheads. I'll continue to use my Differin Gel, regardless, because the benefits (i.e., completely diminishing the appearance of pores and the beginnings of fine lines, clearing up blackheads, anti-aging effects, etc., etc.) outweigh its downfalls. I love how soft my face feels.

FYI: I'm on the fair side and my husband has a lovely olive complexion.

Go for a TCA peel. Has really made a difference in my skin.
