Which Acid Should I Choose? | Peels | TCA | Jessners | Salicylic | Glycolic | Mandelic | Lactic

- There are so many acids out there that it can be tough choosing which one you should be using on your skin. Well, rest assured that even if you chose the “wrong” one, it will still most likely help you with your issues - because really, acids all perform the same task - dissolving the bonds that hold the dead skin to your face.
**I want to mention something here regarding the Fitzpatrick Skin Typing. This is in regards to what color skin you have, how you burn, or freckle in the sun. If you have type 4, 5 or 6
**these are the medium to darker skin types **
then you will almost ALWAYS want to prepare your skin with a melanin inhibitor before applying a higher percentage or a stronger acid. If you are unsure - error on the side of caution. A melanin inhibitor such as our Fade Bright should be applied for at least 2 weeks prior to a peel.
This will help to dramatically lessen the chances that you could get Post inflammatory hyper pigmentation after a peel. ***
Now, let's find out which acid is the best one for your issues.
We can target:
Acne
Fine lines
Deeper lines
Scarring
Hyperpigmentation
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Amazing video!
Super.
Thanks man!!
Thank you
Thank you 💓🌸
*Jessners, it's just pronounced Yessners.
Thank you! This was, by far, THE most informative presentation on acid peels anywhere online; clear, detailed and concise! Now I understand the differences between the various chemical peel options and which direction to go in for DIY peeling.
Super! That is exactly what we want to hear. It can certainly be confusing to know which is best - and no matter what... it will work out fine.
AGREE!!!! 100%
So true..
You have mad teaching and explanation skills btw, this is SUPER helpful.
Thank you!!!
I’ve never done a chemical peel in my life and last night I did 3 passes of tca 7% and I am hooked!!! It was so easy, I watched your videos 20 times each probably lol, I knew exactly what to do, everything went great! My skin has never felt so smooth EVER! It tingled a bit but I had no irritation or negative side effects. I’m so excited to continue my peeling/anti-aging journey, thank you Jen!!!!
Wonderful job! 7% is a great acid to start with if you are really worried or have more sensitive skin ... or just want a bit less flaking than the 13%. Keep up the good work.
Omg I love this woman. To the point simple and interesting. You good at what you do lady x
Thanks so much 😊
Yes! She definitely knows her stuff
@@taracannonllc Thank you thank you!!!
So glad to find at home spa quality peels and amazing products did my first peel last night !
Thank you! We hope you enjoy the results. Do your full series and changes will happen!
Yassss - details 🙌🏽! This is the most helpful video I’ve ever seen in my life lol this is what makes me more secure in purchasing with a company!
I am so glad this was helpful for you! Super news.
I used Salicylic acid as a face wash for acne. I use glycolic to treat breakout and I have dared because of this woman a TCA peel on my lip lines and pigmentation. 6 months apart. I feel like a fresh snake with my new skin lol!! Thank you for your products and videos I love it!! ❤️
OH YAY!!! So happy to hear that you are moving up and seeing great changes with your adventurous self. :) Keep it up. Everything gets better as you progress.
Your voice is SO soothing and you are so informative I’m so glad I found this channel/ brand
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
Excellent video! This way of providing info to your customer base is such a good idea, for those of us who have no idea what we're doing it inspires confidence, we can do it!
I am so very glad that was what you needed. :)
I've scoured the internets and this is THE MOST INFORMATIVE and useful video I have found. SUBSCRIBED!! Will watch them all and for sure you have a new customer. THANKS for empowering your viewers!
Awesome, thank you! Glad it was helpful. If you have any questions, be sure to send us an email to: support@platinumskincare.com
I love my tca peels! I just did my first 20 percent after doing two 13 percent and it is way stronger ladies! Go in steps like she say don't jump to the highest right away bc you don't know if your skin can handle it!
Yes, always work UP to 5 layers of the 13% prior to moving up to the 20%.
@Platinum Skin Care that's actually a really good tip. How long do you wait between layers?
I have bought almost everything you sell .. My skin looks younger and I feel so good love the triple threat lotion it helps with pigmentation and the serum the eye cream I am so glad I found this skin care.. Thanks so much.
Tina Turner thank you so much for sharing that! I’m so glad that you are finding products that really make a difference for you!!!
Christiana Weir-Whilby triple Treat and Fade Bright are both excellent for daily treatments. For best results though you will definitely need to add on the body peels. I suggest 20% Tca or 30% Tca.
I was watching idiots like Dr. Dray and her videos are a waste of time. This one was so positive and informative. So happy to see a real woman with nice skin explain this all.
Wow. Thank you so very much!
thanks for including info for us people of colour! :-))
All colors love to peel. We will always try to address everyone and their personal needs. You are SO welcome! We want everyone to be safe.

I know right. 🥰
@@rebeccaspratling2865 XOXO thank you!!!
Seriously gorgeous skin
@@jreamespinoza Thank you VERY much!
Awesome!
So glad that you found this helpful in choosing your next peel. Also see our peeluniversity.com for more information.
You are gorgeous! I want to dye my hair black now!! Love your look! Also, great video ❤️!
Ha! Thank you. It is a very dark brown. It certainly does look black in the videos though. Outside its a bit lighter and you can tell its brown.
You are brilliant! I tried the gyclocic 30% for 30 seconds, got pain then great results! One layer only! I am 54 and look great thank you. So helpful🥰
So glad. Glycolic is a wonderful peel to start off with. Work your way up in time as you move forward. Pretty soon you will be able to leave it on for minutes at a time.
@@PlatinumSkinCare I used 70% on my hands and left it there for several hrs. Didn’t feel anything. Same with my forearms but washed it off after 7 min and felt nothing. Can I use on my face?
@@rhondas3017 No! Never on the face.
You have a very young looking neck. Can you please make a video on how to improve neck appearance with chemical peels and exercise.
OH! thank you for the compliment and suggestion. ;) I always use the same thing on my neck and chest that I do on my face. Apply from your forehead all the way down.
This was excellent!
I need to watch again to see what to order. But well done with teaching. I came here with zero knowledge of peels
Just go with what you want to change and how much flaking you want to deal with. TCA 13 for aging skin. There is nothing better. Salicylic or jessners for acne. Type in your issues and I will give some help.
The best ever explanation! Love it.
Thank you!
I absolutely love your content. It's very informative, precise and easy to follow. Unfortunately being in South Africa, we don't have access to your products and have to do with alternatives. The range of acid peels available to buy is very limited, unless if you go to ridiculously overpriced clinics for treatments. Jessners are hard, if not impossible to find. The rest are sold at ridiculously low % (e.g. -TCA 4% and 6%) yet very pricey. Highest Lactic you can get is 40% and salicylic is 30%. On the other hand, you find different % for same quantity of the same peel going for the same price (e.g. 10ml of Lactic 20% is same as 10ml for 40%)🤣! Like, its so ridiculous, I don't even think anyone knows what they are doing!
Well, that can certainly happen. Saliyclic 30% would be VERY strong. The 4 and 6% TCA... yes very low and would require probably about 5-8 layers to get a good peel on the face. We are glad that you found us.
This video was just what I needed! Thank you so much! :)
So happy it was helpful for you!
Excited! Will be starting with the mandelic 22% :D
That is a wonderful acid to start using for a brand new peeler ... or someone sensitive, rosacea.. pre-teens.
You're awesome!!! Love your TCA 20% by the way:)
Thank you so much! Love that TCA! Agreed.
Jessners has been more intense than 20% TCA for me. It also stung more. Not a bad thing, but just noting that we're all a little different.
Oh yes! I feel jessners like FIRE. ... for about 4-5 minutes and then it is gone. 2nd layer takes a little less to go away ... 3rd layer takes a little less.
I use four of them at once...really speeds up the process..I started peeling like a week ago..I apply sunscreen and oil lotion etc. she is right to use the other stuff before applying these products, they’re very potent..
Super. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing video! You explained everything so well! Thanks 🙏
Wonderful. We are so glad that you learned what you came here for. :)
Just place my order! Super excited 🙌🏾
Excellent! Let us know if you have any questions.
I watched this a few months back, maybe last year. Now I'm back, ready for a peel
Excellent! We are glad you are back and ready!
@@PlatinumSkinCare I got a tca peel in the mail a little over a week ago. Just been prepping my skin
This was such a great video! I appreciate all of the information!
So happy this helped you!
Thank you so much for this information! I've been considering lactic acid peel but I've never done peels before and I have dehydrated acne prone skin and at the age of 30 I'm getting sunspots and possible beginner pigmentation. I also have sensitive skin that gets irritated very easily. Thank you for the guidance.
Happy to help!
this was so helpful.. ty saved it to my favorite..
Excellent! We are thrilled that you can use this as a reference in the future.
I am pretty stoked about you're channel. RETINA destroyed my skin and gave me scary health side affects as well, so I will never ever take it again. I am just glad there is other skin care I can do. You have lovely skin yourself! Thanks :)
Thank you very much! :)
What happened with Retin-A?! 🥺
Thanks so much for all the useful information 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Yasss i live for these peels! I'm 29 I gotta keep my skin looking great lol
Super, we are so glad that you are loving the results you can get with peels.
I'm a bit confused. This video tells me that mandelic is stronger than lactic. However, I read something different. "Mandelic acid has a larger molecular size than lactic acid, which means it penetrates the skin more slowly and is less irritating."
Yes... but molecular size isn't everything! TCA has an even bigger molecule (almost triple the size of lactic) - and look what THAT can do! :) Basically anything with a dalton of 500 or less will penetrate the skin with ease.
Such good advice..I have type 5 skin and followed your advice..it has helped me keep my melasma in check.
I am so glad that was helpful for you. We like to share proven methods to treat issues. Thank you for watching.
What peel you are using?
I love your informative videos 😀
Ethel Couturier thank you so much! We appreciate that very much. If you could, share it with any friends that might find it interesting as well.
Perfectly explained!
Thank you!
Which peel is best for dark skin,without developing hyperpigmentation?Thank you.
It is always best if darker skin types use a melanin inhibitor like alpha arbutin (in our Fade Bright) or hydroquinone to lessen the melanin production prior to peels. But, "generally" the milder acids are just fine. The acid choice really depends on what you are wanting to treat?
Acne = Salicylic 15 or Mandelic 40.
Very sensitive skin = Mandelic 22.
General refreshening = Glycolic 30
These are each great options.
Awesome video. Much appreciated.
We are thrilled that this is so helpful. :)
I like the way you teach us it’s very important to understand the science behind these. Chemicals ., I thank you very much and I have a question,,, can I use TCA 13 if I have mild rosacea????
There are definitely those that use it. What I can say is that we will only recommend the Mandelic 22 as safe for rosacea. For rosacea start using Vitamin C + Nano Hyaluronic every day. It will help immensely.
Very informative video! I've struggled with malasma and hyperpigmentation for years and have decided 2020 is when I need to do something about it. I'm approaching my mid 30s with sensitive, dry skin and prone to monthly hormonal breakouts which always leave a scar. I'm currently using the ordinary lactic acid 10% with HA 3x per week. I suspect I may need something stronger but I'm super nervous! I use spf 40 sunscreen. I'm at a loss with my skin. Any Suggestions?
10% lactic is pretty mild. I would suggest starting up with a weekly 50% Lactic peel. Then Fade Bright (or hydroquinone) 2x per day along with SPF 50. Retinoids at night will help the turnover as well. Consider something like our .20% Retinol Molecular Serum.
Best answers on all my questions I couldn’t fine in my own country. This is exactly what I wanted … thank you 👏🏻
From Russia with love 🫶🏻
Perfect!!! Glad this helped you.
I'm 45 and I have very wrinkled hands due to working in the sun without gloves for decades. Is there a way to reverse this damage with TCA peels? The other option is laser but that's a last resort.
You can absolutely do TCA peels on your hands! It works very well. It can take 20-30 days to start and finish the flaking process - but, that is normal for body parts. :) Use lots of emu oil and/or shea butter to keep them as moist as possible during this phase.
See this video on how to do that: www.platinumskincare.com/hand-and-body-peeling-tca-30-versus-glycolic-70-demonstration/
And this video: www.platinumskincare.com/body-peels-which-acid-what-percentage-fitzpatrick/
Remember that you will have to 100% protect your hands going forward. Gloves and High SPF always.
I have a question jennifer. I am black and have acne scarring on my back and shoulder. I prepped my skin with fade bright and melanin inhibitor for six weeks. I also washed my skin with soap and water and then cleaned it with alcohol. I did not spot treat, I applied the skin peel 50 percent on my right deltoid (shoulder area). I waited a few days and saw no frosting and no peeling. I felt a slight tingling/warming sensation when I applied but just the area closest to the arm pit got dry and flaked a little. No peeling. Did I do something wrong? What would you recommend?
Hello. You applied a 50% what? Glycolic? TCA? We do not manufacture a 50% TCA... so I can not help you with that. What is normal though on the body... is a peel taking 30 days to exfoliate. Don't expect to see anything for a good 10-14 days.
Very detailed , thank you 🙏🏽
Glad to help.
Hi mam, all the love from us ...this is by far the best and the most genuine channel i have come accross..thanks alot for this help.
Mam i have freckles on my nose and cheeks and my mom has melasma and hyperpigmentation all over her face. I have never tried any peel ever and i am 23 , neither my mom has ever used any peel and she is 56 .
Please suggest a peel for me and my mom
Certainly ... and here is the video you need to watch: www.platinumskincare.com/how-do-i-get-rid-of-brown-spots-dark-spots-age-spots-pigmentation/
Fade Bright 2x per day + SPF 50
Retinol at night.
Peel options: Lactic (mild little to no flaking visible). Mandelic 40 (dryness and mild flakes). Jessners (stronger and many flakes).
@@PlatinumSkinCare thankyou so much mam
@@vivekakumar8283 :)
Amazing video! Just wondering TCA or glycolic acid peel is better for dark spots?😀
I like Jessners or Mandelic for spotting. Jessners + TCA is also a good one.
This was so helpful!!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Which peel and strength would you recommend for the bikini area?
For????? Hyperpigmentation (50% Lactic or jessners) ... or, for ingrown hairs (15% or 25% salicylic).
It would have been nice if you would have placed the names to the left of your had while you held the boxes. Sorry but some folks cannot read the box’s letters.😊
We apologize. We do mention each acid's name before the section - and during the explanation. Hopefully you can re-listen to that area and find out which interested you? If not, please write us back and we can help you here!
***Also - to make things SUPER easy, we have created our Peel Finder Tool, ... answer a few pertinent questions regarding your skin, the downtime you want, sensitivity levels... and it will tell you which acid will work best. You can do that here: www.platinumskincare.com/peelfindertool
New subscriber here! Love your channel! I have been experimenting with acids for years regarding my extreme KP situation. I am a 6 on the Fitzpatrick scale and wanted to know which of your acids you would suggest for me to purchase? I want to apply to full legs and elbows for KP....and would like to know which acid to purchase for hands and feet?
We love the Lactic 50 for KP. It is a more hydrating acid - so it doesn't add to the extreme dryness. As a daily product we recommend our Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion. That has acids to exfoliate and is extremely hydrating - both of what you need for KP. www.platinumskincare.com/triple-treat-body-lotion/
👍
:)
If 20% TCA can be applied in 2 or more layers on the whole face, why can't I apply 30% TCA in one single layer?
If you apply an acid that is too strong for your skin....it is possible that your skin may go into a "shock-like" state and purge melanin....which is Post Inflammatory Hyper pigmentation. So you always want to work your way up and follow our guild lines. See the video below on how TCA works...

New to home peels. I was floored to learn I can do this myself. !! However, I am 71 yrs. young. My skin is in excellent condition with fine lines and I want help to eliminate or decrease the size. I order TCA. Did I Purchase the right acid?
Yes, TCA 13 is a perfect place to start. Start with 1-2 layers.
I am a new subscriber here. And its my first time to try a peel. Where do i start? I’m turning 50 this March.
Give the video a watch. Start with a milder acid such as mandelic 40 or glycolic 30.
Thank you so much for the detailed information.. if possible post peeling how we need to take care of the skin? Please make a video on this..also educate us on can we use retinol,or other activities in daily skin care daily routine post peeling ? Or we should not use active ingredients in post peeling day or night skin care routine?? If we can use means how many days post peeling we can start skincare routine day or night routine with activities (milder % like lactic 10%,retinol 2%, glycolic/mandelic less than 10%..
Here is a video on after-peel care: www.platinumskincare.com/chemical-peels-flaking-what-to-expect/ When you are all done flaking, and your skin feels normal, you can go back to your daily regimen.
This was an EXCELLENT video...I should have come here first prior to the 50 other videos I watched, lol. In your opinion, could I possibly get similar results to fraxel laser (but for Much less and more time)?
I think there is a place for ALL of those amazing goodies out there. Needling, peels, lasers... Peels of course are my favorites.. with professional needling and PRF being a 2nd favorite. If you want to jump to TCA... then there are REALLY some positive changes that can be had - guaranteed. TCA has been proven in studies to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. So that is the #1 I recommend for anti-aging. For hanging skin.. or excess skin? That is surgery all the way. Nothing can fix loose skin other than a scalpel.
Thank you . Which one you suggest for my legs ?
We recommend TCA 30 if you have a light skin tone. Medium to darker skin tones should use TCA 20 and also will need to pretreat with Fade Bright for 2 weeks prior to using the TCA Peel.
I have never used any acids or serums or anything?
I answered you in your other post. :)
Isnt 4% Hydroquinone the most allowed in America? How can this product have almost twice that? (Jessners)
Cameron Dean this is a peel - not a leave-on product. The actual ingredient is Resorcinol. But, if you look into that you find it is made of hydroquinone.
You're so pretty. Very informativ. Thank you
Well THANK YOU!!!! I sincerely appreciate that and am happy to help you.
Does the frosting mean to stop, or can I still put another layer on? (TCA 13%). Grateful if you can answer because different people say different things about frosting. Great product btw, thank you ☺️
Hi there. Frosting is good. It's not "necessary" to get flaking, but when you do see it you will definitely get some good skin sloughing. At home we never want a solid white - and most likely you wouldn't see that unless you were applying multiple layers of a TCA 20. ... So, a white speckling or haze is just fine.
You may choose to apply another layer on top of that (after the 5 minutes) to make it frost more... or, if you want you can just apply another layer of the TCA to the areas that did NOT frost. It is very common to have only certain parts of the face frost. Forehead, chin, cheeks are pretty good... but many other areas are slower to frost.
Just don't get too caught up in the frost. Even if it doesn't show at all you will still get some flaking. Progress slowly and see what kind of flaking that you are getting before you decide you want more.
Platinum Skin Care Thank you so much. I appreciate your concise answer!
@@Anastashya You are very welcome.
Hi! This video was very informative and I'm so glad I found this company.
I want to do a chemical peel on my feet to reduce wrinkles and soften my feet and my knees to remove hyperpigmentation and even out my skin.
I was thinking of using the 20% TCA since I have Type 5 skin type. What are your suggestions?
What's a good pairing with TCA? The vitamin A peel or the fusion A luminosity method?
Caution with darker skin types. I suggest Fade Bright and Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion as a daily treatment. After 4 weeks, if you wish to do a peel, then the TCA 20% is an option. See here: www.platinumskincare.com/body-peels-which-acid-what-percentage-fitzpatrick/
I’ve been doing peels for yrs , never heard of a Mel it in inhibitor . Luckily I’ve never experienced any side effects
A melain inhibitor is generally only needed on those with ethnic skin tones. Most with very white skin have quite a low chance of getting PIH *though they still can. Now that being said there are many that have had good luck in NOT getting PIH... but that is really just that... "luck". And never forget that you can do 50 peels in a row that go great...but that next one might be different. It is always easier to prep properly than to deal with a negative outcome.
Mam which acid we should choose for acne spots dark spots acne scars and hyperpigmentation plz reply mam
I was ordering from platinum skin care but I got stuck plz help me plz ... Plz suggest me the name
to keep acne under control and heal spots quickly use the following regimen:
am: AB Cleanser + B Complex
pm: AB + B + 1 pump of Retinol .20 *. retinol will make marks turn over very quickly. 10 days instead of 3-4 months. A weekly peel could be salicylic 15 or mandelic 40.
Hi again Jen, If you still have rough dry skin hanging on at around the 1 week mark afyer this peel but everything else feels back to normal, can you start back on your tretinoin or should you wait until the skin is 100% back to normal? Thank you xx
Yes, if you are almost finished peeling.....go ahead and resume your Tretinoin.
Hello-
I’ve been watching you for sooo long and I just realized that one of my new fave you tubers recommends your products. (Literally just put 2+2 together. So it got me excited).
That said, I’m 38 years old and I have Dermal Melasma. I also have acne scarring that was brought on with age. (I always had beautiful skin). Aside from the Melasma and scarring, I’d like to use a peel that will address or help fight fine lines & wrinkles. Also minimize pore size if possible. I know this is a pretty tall order.
So my question is this: Should I start with the TCA 13% or are their other products you’d recommend? I’ve never done a peel before. But my skin isn’t super sensitive.
Thank you in advance and thank you for always explaining things in laymen’s terms.
Love that about you. 💕
Should I start
Oh really? Wonderful to hear that!! Yes... retinol is the KEY for pores. IPL will help as well. You can see the video we have on pores for more information on that. www.platinumskincare.com/what-can-i-do-to-shrink-my-pores-1/
TCA 13 would be perfect for those lines and even melasma. Use Fade Bright 2x per day and also take a quick read on this page here for internal suggestions on melasma: www.platinumskincare.com/blog/face-mapping-to-solve-skin-issues/
Ive been thinking about trying a phenol peel but Im not sure I need something that extreme.
You do not need a phenol peel unless you have extensive scarring ... or ... you worked in a field the past 20 years without SPF and have very deep lines. :) Looking at your photo - I can't imagine that any doctor would dream of performing this type of peel on you. It requires heart monitoring and can cause death. Please use extreme caution in requesting something like this. Try instead ... a TCA 13. Begin with 2 layers and add on One layer each month. Take photos and watch your skin transform over a 6-8 week peel series. Much safer.
Great informational video on all the various peels. Awesome job!!! How would you incorporate micro needling with Glycolic peels on oily mature skin? Thank you again.
I would definitely do alternating treatments. www.platinumskincare.com/mixing-different-treatments-peels-needling-ipl-lasers-microdermabrasions/
Hope you can reply, I have been looking forward to purchasing the tca 20% peeling. However, since I am from Chile, I would like to know if there is any chance the delivery get rejected. Do I need a prescription? Thanks in advance
Hello. #1. Please do NOT start with a TCA 20%. Prep your skin with a melanin inhibitor like our Fade Bright or a hydroquinone product for 2-3 weeks. Then, begin with 1 to 2 layers of TCA 13 instead. ... No, a prescription is not required. We do not know Chile's importing process though - so please research that prior to ordering. Some countries require a business to get skin care products ... or other issues.
Which acid do you recommend for sebaceous hyperplasia (flesh colored bumps)? Thanks!
Treatments for Sebaceous hyperplasia: Carbon dioxide laser, Excision, TCA. I would suggest the TCA 20% at 2-3 layers on the exact area. You can use a Qtip or our Wooden picks if they are very very small. www.platinumskincare.com/cotton-tipped-wood-picks/
Hi, I have been using a 50% glycolic acid peel (not my first) for 2 or 3 months, but I have never experienced any peeling or flaking on my face, it does burn and I see very little improvements. A dermatologist told me that is normal that it doesn't peel and that it should be used daily, and I tried to use it more times but not daily. Yesterday it didn't even burn. Sould I start using a TCA peel?
A 50% glycolic peel should not ever be used daily. Possibly they were referring to an acid serum - like our Serum 15 or Serum 30. Even those you must start off with about 3x per week and work up to daily ... as your skin tolerates/acclimates.
AHA peels are not meant to give you a lot of flaking. They are the "lunchtime" peels for a reason. No social downtime. Expect a bit of dryness ... maybe a few flakes with these acids. If you are looking for flaking you need to move to a TCA or Jessners peel. Start with 1-2 layers your first time. Next MONTH you can add on 1 more layer. Continue as you see fit.
Very helpful !! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Which acid do you recomen for the neck area?
Hi there. Whatever you are using on your face.. just carry that down. Use less ... be more gentle though. Your neck is always more sensitive/reactive. Less layers....etc...
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you 😊
Since I have been using a different melanin inhibitor twice daily plus retinol at night, for 5 months, can I start the TCA peel series right away? Or is it necessary to specifically use the Fade Bright for peel prep?
Hello. Absolutely you can. It doesn't have to be ours. :) Alpha Arbutin and Hydroquinone are both equally great.
Honestly, if I’m going to have to go through down time with peeling and flaking, I might as well do the deepest TCA.
Oh... that is not true at all. Don't think for one minute that if you do ONE higher percentage TCA peel you are going to have all of your skin problems solved. Peels don't work that way. No matter what you choose - it is going to be a series of 6-8 peels. TCA is great! But start with the 13% at 1-2 layers and work up to 5 layers* maybe... and then go from there.
I want to try these
This is a great video to help you find the best acid for your needs. So 1. Find the best acids for your issues and 2. Decide how much flaking you want to deal with. ... then choose. You may also call us during business hours to help.
Two questions. 1) Which is better for the skin/more effective? One layer every week for 8 weeks? Or one serious deep multi layer peel once? 2) which peel is best for reducing redness?
Abra Annes it really depends on what is comfortable for your lifestyle. *Also, not everyone can handle such a deep peel. .... Most people do about 2 peels per month until they complete the 6-8. Then, they cut back to maybe one a month or one every other month.
Thanks so much for the quick response! Have been using your TSA 13 peels sporadically. Now armed with this information I will start my 6-8 peel process. Thank you for your amazing products!
Abra Annes wonderful! Enjoy your beautiful skin!!!
Where can I get training hands on these peels… ?
Thank you so much for this video
Hello. I am sorry? Are you looking for training videos? Please go to our PeelUniversity.com to learn everything about peels, your skin and the acids.
Omg! Im a dark skin AA woman, used a 40% glycolic peel on my face (2nd time) yesterday and it left me with little dark burn marks around my mouth! I left the peel on for exactly 3 minutes. Is this normal? The rest of my face is fine.
Hmmmm. Glycolic can sometimes cause irritations like that. Are you using other products that would make you more sensitive? Retinoids, acid serums?? Medications?? YOu may need to space out your peels more to give your skin a break -- or have them switch to a milder acid so you don't deal with that.
Hello, I have a hyperpigmentation mustache I think It came from waxing and damage to the to the skin. I have used acids like kojic and azleic at once and it was and immediately fading but there’s still a grey dark mark above the lip on my brown skin which treatment should I use?
PIH is common with any form of trauma to the skin. You should begin using a melanin inhibitor and a retinol every day. Fade Bright or hydroquinone will be excellent choices. Retinol .20 at night and of course, SPF 50 every day you head out. If you want to add a peel to this, I suggest the Mandelic 40 1x a week for 6-8 weeks.
my sisters never had a peel before..
she has pigmentation. wrinkles and deep under eyes . she's 30
should I start her on a say tca 13% .. one layer. or 2 If she can handle it. or a 30% glycolic . or I have 50% mandelic. its hard to know somtiems which is best to start with. but also she's thick skin and not sensitive. I will be doing her alternate treatments of RF microneedling and chemical peels at monthly intervals. (every 2 weeks will be one peel. one RF mn.. then 2 weeks later the peels and so on.. we want a good 5 to 6 months or 6 treatments of each to really get her skin transformed I will of course also guide her home care too.
30% glycolic = very mild *Mandelic 40 would be a better option for a mild peel and hyperpigmentation. Can be done 1x every 1-2 weeks.
TCA 13% = much stronger. Then layers increase. This is a 1x per month peel. You must wait 1 month prior to doing any other treatments.
Most are well to begin with 1-2 layers of TCA 13. That is a common starting point for many. If she has olive or darker skin she will need to pretreat with a melanin inhibitor for 4 weeks prior to a TCA peel.
We have a Peel Finder Tool on the website if you are unsure of which acid is best for her needs. Whether or not she wants "social downtime" or a milder acid which gives little to none. That is here: www.platinumskincare.com/peelfindertool
@PlatinumSkinCare thanks ever so much. I have 50% mandelic or 30% glycolic. so I will use the 50% mandelic for her first one to introduce her before any tca.. I will order some of your 40% too for the future
but will 50% be ok for her first as I am doing her tomrorow
I just want to ask how do you feel about the skincare youtubers stating diy chemical peels are a big NO NO? Personally, I'd love to try one(tca to be specific) just by watching your vids but I'm still second guessing lol. Would love to get your response : )
Hello there. Well... I can't say that I have seen many on the no-no bandwagon. Most I feel are far TOO aggressive and share things that I feel are too strong for new users. We have been selling these for 19 years now though, and I am not too worried. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We respect them all. :)
@@PlatinumSkinCare So do you think I shouldn't be worried or scared. After all, I suppose I've done my research quite enough. I just really want to get rid of these scars so badly. Besides, there's still no face to face classes and I don't really go out unless it's necessary so the downtime wouldn't really be much of a concern😅😀
@@PlatinumSkinCare But anyways, I really appreciate your response. It means a lot. Tbh I've been watching some of your vids especially those tca related ones. My mind kinda just like baffles sometimes because i follow these channels with entirely different views on diy peels. Perhaps, I have to strengthen my guts and trust myself more lol
@@emil209 If you have done your research - you are probably ready to get started. I will always suggest starting with something mild like a mandelic 40 so you can get used to peels and how they work. Then move up to a stronger acid as you feel you are ready. No rushing. Watch our videos. We have many on acids, application, preparation, scar treatments, after care and more.
@@emil209 Start small and work your way up. That is the smart way here.
You are very much helpful but i still don't know how to choose the peel either the glycolic, salicylic or TCA cause i have a dry, congested skin, acne, and dark acne scars
If you are dealing with acne: Salicylic 15% is a great place to start. Mandelic 40% would be another option that is a bit less "harsh". These are each a peel you can do 1x every 7-10 days. ... So about 3-4x per month. A stronger option would be Jessners. That can be applied 1x per month and is layerable.
I am a Fitzpatrick 5. I am using tazorac plus differin combination for now, when should I stop using these products before I initiate a superficial acid? A superficial peel could turn into a deeper peel otherwise? Thank you. Enjoyed the clear explanations.
If they sensitize your skin, then make sure to stop about 5 days prior to applying any peels. If they don't affect your skin then you can use them up to the day prior. I generally only stop maybe the night before. We are all different though.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you

Yellow peeling oil what is??
Please reach out to THAT company for information.
thank you!! very helpful
You're welcome!
I have dry skin stuck to my face on my cheeks under my cheekbones from wearing a mask :( what can you recommend? I have sensitive skin
I would suggest something simple like adding an acid cleanser to your daily regimen to get some of that off. Revitalizing Cleanser: www.platinumskincare.com/revitalizing-glycolic-cleanser-10/ 1-2x daily will help. Then add on a retinoid at night if you haven't already. Retinoids keep the skin turning over MORE quickly. I suggest Retinol .10 for sensitive skin before bed: www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/
Now.. if you want to do a peel, I suggest the Mandelic 22. Great for sensitive folks. :) You could do that 1x every 2 weeks.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you Is it safe for seb derm skin
@@lisagardner4814 Hello. I am not knowing what "seb derm skin" is. I am sorry. What I recommended would be find for anyone though. :)
Can we do lactic 50% for Indian medium tone skin without Fade bright or we needed Fade bright?? I want to get my peel done without PIH. I am a beginner (very 1st peel). And when to use Retinol if using acid serum at night (15/30%) for lactic acid skin prepration. Looking forward for your Reply.. 😊
Yes, that will be just fine. It is only the strong acids where you really need to pretreat. If you are using both Serum 15 and Retinol... I suggest to just alternate evenings. One night apply retinol and one night apply the acid serum.

I have darker skin. I want to do a tca peel. Can I use fade bright and serum 15 together?
You can. Fade Bright is the most important here to help turn down the melanin production and to help prevent/lessen any PIH possibilities. See this video: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin/
Hi I have been using hydroquinone and tretinoin for 3 years now and would love to try a peel I have slightly sensitive skin and I'm a 4 on the Fitzpatrick scale I was going to order the 13 percent tca now im confused shall I start at 7 percent with the melanin inhibitor don't know what it's called. Thanks in advance
We recommend starting with TCA 13. Pre treat with Fade Bright or Hydroquinone for 2-3 weeks prior to applying your peel. We recommend Luminosity and Emu Oil or Essential Healing Blend post peel.
Thank you for your reply I made my first order yesterday and it was 13% tca with the healing oil I have alo ordered luminosity method. When my order arrives I will be asking for advice. Thanks again.
@@s.7948 Hello. Absolutely. And remember... we have the TCA peel walkthrough video right here: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peel-application-detailed-faq-aftercare/ You can do your peel right along with Jen.
Thank you will be taking notes 📝
My daughter is taking Accutane. She has hyperpigmentation from acne. Luckily, she doesn't have any deep scares. When can we start lactic acid peels on her? I've been watching all the videos and understand Lactic Acid Peels to be the gentlest. I've heard conflicting information as to when we can start. Anywhere from Six months post Accutane up to a year post before we can start. Is there anything we can do to help her skin now while she's taking Accutane? She has acne on her face, chest and back. She's on her second month of Accutane. Your advice is appreciated!
With Accutane you really want to find out when her prescribing doctor says it is ok. Accutane changes the skin and a gentle peel could end up being very strong on skin being treated. **When you can do peels, I suggest the Mandelic 22 or 40 for her. ... then, in the meantime, check with Dr. and see if she can be on a daily retinoid. **Most are fine with this.
Here is an easy regimen for acne:
am: AB Cleanser (acids to clear pores and exfoliate skin) + Vitamin B Complex (helps to control acne and hydrate skin)
pm: AB Cleanser + Retinol .10 (digs deep into pores to aid in exfoliating and tightening, helps skin to turn over more quickly) + B Complex
Super simple (3 products) that work so well. Also watch this video: www.platinumskincare.com/moms-of-teens-with-acne/
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thank you! I'll check with her dermatologist before starting any peels.
@@annettequadling165 Perfect. That regimen is excellent as well.
Is azealic acid a melanin inhibitor? Cause my dermatologist prescribed it to my hyperpigmentation ( that I made worse by abusing hydroquinone ) . She was going to do a Deep chemical after 6 weeks of use , but now I have to wait when the city Reopen and I’m impatient.
Azelaic acid is excellent for pigmentation issues. You can apply this peel 1 x per week. We recommend a series of 8 weekly peels for optimal results.
