Peel for fine lines?

mowgli · Oct 31, 2006

At the moment Im using MUAC 30% glycolic peels - been using it for 3 weeks now, and noticed no effects!

What kind of peel would people recommend for fine lines around the mouth? I also have 40% GA peel which I havent started using yet...

Also, am I not using the peel for long enough? I leave it on for about 2 min, and boy does it sting!! (even though my skin is never sensitive!)

Sorry, but I've never used a peel. Have you done a search on peels to see what other members are saying?

3 weeks is too early to tell. You need to give it 2 to 3 months. But I think peels don't work as well on fine lines as microdermabrasion.

Yeah, agree with patsluv give it more time.

thanks!

I am a strong believer in chemical peels, I have been using them for the past few years and I am currently forever going to use them! So I know the inns and the outs.

I have bought my peels from several different sites on the Internet. What I have learned is that if they sting when you apply them they are cut and of low grade which dries out your skin leaving it very tight!

I have returned or thrown a lot of these cheep products out looking for good chemical peels, than a girl friend turned me onto optimal youths chemical peel kits that her friend used and sore-by-them. So I tried them.

I will recommend these peels to anyone. You use them daily not weekly and you get all three acids which I have never used before at the same time along with the dermabrasion scrub. Boy what a big difference! They don't sting at all and they work better than anything I have ever used. They have total changed my skin texture and made my face look much younger. I just hope she is going to make a stronger chemical peel kit in the future.

The only thing I don't like about her products is some of the cheap bottling... but her prices more than make up for it which is ok with me because they work and their more than affordable!

Big note: when you are using chemical peels you really need to use good after chemical peel products! I use copper peptides, emu oil, and hyaluronic acid that I also get from the same site.

I hope this might help you with your chemical peel venture. (PS) her site has a bunch of helpful information on it as well.
