Has anyone bought a decent skin peel online?

I don’t mean a mask from a pharmacy, I mean a proper skin peel of 20% tca that gives a medium peel?

Anyone got any results using one?

I get Tca, 30% from eBay. It gives great results, once you are very careful with the aftercare.

You can buy up to 50% and dilute to your required strength with distilled water.

Is there a guide to aftercare?

Ive done 3 x 15% TCA peels over about 6 weeks & I’ve had fab results. I bought mine from eBay - Dermedik brand. It’s very strong stuff so be wary & do your research. If you google it there are lots of sites that give advice for prepping your skin & post peel care. I’m going to do a 25% TCA peel in January. It’s scary stuff & it can really mess up your face if you don’t read up on it properly.

Prepping your skin using a AHA product for a couple of weeks beforehand is imperative. Aftercare for me is just keeping face well moisturised after although I find that a full face of Vaseline is the only product that gives any sort of relief from the peeling period. I’m actually starting to peel now as I did my 3rd TCA peel ( 15% ) on Wednesday. So my weekend will consist of a thick layer of Vaseline smeared all over face as I find the tightness unbearable. Oh and no gym, sweating or makeup post peel until it’s all peeled off.
