Nice video! Not ready to do a peel yet but will message you when I am. I am closing on a property in a few weeks and then taking time to move then clean out this place. October looks like a good time for me! End of October.
Hi, Jennifer! In your TCA instructions manual, it says "do not apply...leave-on acid products the day before your peel." So I'm assuming it's okay to continue to use my Lactic Anti-Aging Cleanser (since it's a wash-off product) the day before and the day of the peel. Or should I use something gentler? Also, this is going to be my first time doing a TCA peel. I also do microneedling. Should I wait several weeks after a microneedling session to start a peel? And how long should I wait after a peel to do another microneedling session. Thank you in advance for your answers Jennifer. I love your videos because you are extremely knowledgeable.
Yes indeed you can use your cleanser the day before and immediately prior to a chemical peel. You may also use it afterwards every day - *as long as it does not cause you irritation - I do not think that it will. With micro needling, I would give it a good week in between either treatment. Micro-needling generally heals very quickly - but we want your skin 100% before performing a peel. Same thing when you are going from peel to needling. Make sure you are completely healed before trying another modality. Thank you so very much for the complements! I certainly appreciate that!!! ;)
Hi Jennifer, can you answer 2 questions? 1 - if doing a light peel weekly, when is it ok to exercise (sweat) and to go in sauna (sweat)? 2 - if doing a light peel weekly, when is it ok to do microneedling? Thank you!
deenpac Good question. With needling you are going to want to skip a week here and there. Do your needling that week instead of a peel. As for sweating. If it’s a light peel you are generally safe to sweat a bit. With a deeper peel like Tca, you do need to avoid the sweating as it can build up under the skin and cause bubbles of liquid underneath - not pretty.
@@mgeller3266 We do not sell needling items here. I can only tell you to alternate the treatments. Week 1. do your needling. Week 2. do your peel Week 3. do your needling. Week 4. do your peel. Always give your skin time to heal in between treatments.
THANK YOU for this Great video! I have a couple of questions: 1. I am latina light skin with yellow undertone. Wondering if I still need to use melanine inhibitor...? 2. I have some light to medium pigmentation on my jawline, near or underneath my ears. The area measure about the size of the head or a regular spoon so its not super small or super large either. Can I apply TCA only in that area? if so, what percentage is good for just spot treating an area like that? Or would it be better to do a even peel all over face? 3. If you do suggest to spot treat with TCA, do I also need to spot treat the area with melanine inhibitor and/or renoids on these area for two weeks prior to the TCA spot treatment? Again thank you so much and for all the awesome information! Look forward to your response so I can shop accordingly!
Anette Europa yes. Your skin falls into the line where we want to pretreat. Anything not white, really needs it. See this video ruclips.net/video/oCkWVuF79Ys/видео.html Correct with Fade Bright and Retinol. Those will help so much and will prepare your skin. I suggest the Tca 13% since you said this is just a lighter spot of pigmentation. No need for super heavy acid. Do 1-2 layers just on your spot (5 min in between layers) and then do 1 on your whole face.
Question for the people that only want to purchase the TCA 30 peel. My skin is wired, because my mother is light kinda like you. My father is a bit tan, not that dark but a good tan color. So my skin has always been weird, sometimes it looks like my mothers and then changes looking like my fathers. All in same day, it doesn’t matter if it’s sunny/hot or cold/not sunny outside that day. I like both skin colors but truthfully I think I look more older with a tan with my facials features and taking into account my weight. I look more younger when my skin seem to resemble my mothers fair side. I like both but I’m starting to lean more towards the fair side. Also if I get a mosquito bite it leaves a scar like a bruise afterwards. They leave but after a while. Because my skin would always change shades throughout the day in high school my friends called me a chameleon 😂. Oh my heritage is Mexican, I don’t look Mexican according to my Mexican friends and because of my skin changing they couldn’t get what my heritage was. So if I’m only going to purchase the tca 30 peel from your website, cause your girl still job hunting. For preparation for my peel what products can I use from the store. For instance I have a Loki acid soap that I purchased. It’s mainly to use on my hands since I wear hoodies all year around and the color of my hands don’t match my arms and the rest of my body. Also my hand joints seem to appear more darker. Since I was little never cared how I looked or my skin since I was considered overweight and ugly. Also I have brachydactyly type D thumbs. And hated them and didn’t want to bring any attention to my hands. Am I able to use my Kojic acid soap and make sure to moisturize with oils and hand cream prior to your TCA 30 peel. And after wards continue to use same protects. Or should I just moisturize with oil and hand cream.
Spoon Full your skin needs to be pretreated prior to any chemical peel with Fade Bright or another melanin inhibitor. This is to help reduce the likeliness of PIH *post inflammatory hyper pigmentation. You will not be using a Tca 30 at all. That is too strong for anything other than treating a scar, mole, cross or the body. Please only begin with 1-2 layers of the TCA 13%. Then, after your peel is rinsed and skin patted dry, apply the Fade Bright again.
Hi,Thanks for your information..It helped me a lot...just adding up a question to clear my doubts.... I have olive skin tone so can i use hydroquinone 4% prior five weeks before chemical peeling process to prepare my skin? Can I use hydroquinon 4% right after a chemical peel to avoid hyperpigmentation afterwards? Thanks in advance... Looking forward to your reply ❤️❤️
Hello. Yes, HQ will be fine to help lessen melanin production prior to applying a stronger peel like TCA or Jessners. 2-4 weeks is generally fine - but the longer the better. SPF 50 every day as well. See this video: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin/
If you are going to be peeling the body then prep is always best. See this video on Body Peels: www.platinumskincare.com/hand-and-body-peeling-tca-30-versus-glycolic-70-demonstration/ and if you have darker/ethnic skin you will also NEED to prep with a melanin inhibitor and use a milder percentage: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin/
Hello, I am a customer and have purchased several products from you. How long should I discontinue Tretinoin/Retin A before doing a low percentage Lactic or Mandelic peel? How soon can I resume Tretinoin afterwards? I have looked in your videos and on your website and cannot find this information. Your response would be greatly appreciated. It would be wonderful if you would do a video on this topic 🌸
PCC MFT hello there. We suggest discontinuing usage a couple of days before any peel. This is because retinoids make your skin more sensitive. This doesn’t bother everyone though - so you can use it up to the day prior if it isn’t a problem for you. Then, once the peeling is done you can start up again.
Can I use Retinol and vit c serum (on alternate basis) as a night serum instead of serum 15 and 30 for lactic acid peel skin prepration. Hope you will answer my all queries which I posted at different videos. I am a beginner and doing peel very very 1st time so, trying to build my confidence and clearing all my doubts.please excuse me dear... Your channel is like a blessings for us regarding chemical peels topic and gives in depth Information. Almost from yesterday watching your videos and having youtube binge..🤗
You may apply the products in the order that suits your lifestyle and regimen the best. We give you guidelines... but there is no problem applying retinol or Vitamin C at night. Retinol is an Excellent prep for all peels. It is also something you should always use from now on to have the healthiest skin possible.
@@PlatinumSkinCare lf I am using Toner and moisturizer just after cleansing my face then how to apply 'Fade bright'. What should be the correct order Mam..(can I apply rose watet as a toner and apply fade Bright on it and skip my moisturizer 🤔🤔)
Question- I'm confused about the retinol as prep. I have a prescription retin-A and my dermatogolist said to make sure and stop the retin-A before you do a chemical peel. DO you agree with this? And how many days prior should I discontinue. However, she did say that it was excellent to use after, as it aids in peeling. Just wondering your recomendation. I just purchased the mandelic and tca 13%. I'm going to do the mandellic first for 4-6 weeks, then bump up to the TCA. Thank you your videos are great
RetinA to prep is perfect and quite mandatory (retinoids). Just be sure to stop use 4-6 days PRIOR to applying your acid peel. After TCA or Jessners peel we do not recommend applying retinA ... because this is an acid and will cause irritation. We suggest a milder, non acid retinoid like Granactive or Retinol or Retinaldehyde instead for the first few days. We call this our Luminosity Method.
Very informative video, thanks for sharing it. I already ordered the TCA peel (13% and 30%) for my acne scars. Feeling nervous and hopeful at the same time. One question I have is how long should we wait after the treatment to do laser procedures (specifically hair removal)?
We have our TCA peel where you purchase the acid itself. You can add on a prep or Fade Bright or the Luminosity if you wish - but it isn't a kit perse. Now, we DO have a Lip Peel Kit and also an Eye Peel Kit that are indeed a set. You can find both of those here: www.platinumskincare.com/lip-peel-intense-restoration-kit/ www.platinumskincare.com/eye-peel-intense-restoration-kit/
Hi PSC-I have been using your peels for almost 3 yrs. I just watched this video again. It had been awhile since I last watched it. I use Vit C daily, spf 50, hydroquinone twice a day (when not on this I use a script of azelaic acid 15% and tretinoin .1%. I took notes of what you suggested for pre peel. I do not use Serum 15 or 30. Is my routine ok or should I add serum 30? The peels I do are Mandelic 40 and Jessners and sometimes Jessners/TCA. Thank you so much
3 years! Thank you. We are so happy to be a part of your Healthy Skin Regimen. :) I would really suggest focusing on your retinoid. That is your #1. Then the Azelaic .. you can either do every other night (Tret/Azelaic) ... or use the Azelaic during the day for your Acid. Everything else is great. Good job.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thx for the response. Sounds good. And, yes, 3 yrs and will keep continuing for the long term. Terrific products and always amazing help from the PSC team
Hi, Jennifer! really love your video. I have a question, what is the long term difference: TCA one layer every week, VS 4 layers once a month? how about other peels? lactic/glycolic? one layer once a week vs 4 layers once a month? with one layer, i almost have no down time, but with 4 layers, definitely peeling and few days of down time
With many layers you are going to reach your skin care goals more quickly. A single layer will take more treatments to get the same end result. The other part of that is purely - what works best with your life. Some people would rather have the constant light flaking and others would rather have only one to worry about. You always need to work your way up to those 4 layers though. Never start there. Begin with 1 or 2 layers the first time. Each time you do another peel you can potentially add on one more layer - if you feel you need it. Most people are good with about 3 layers and doing a peel 1 or many 2x per month.
@@universeiseverything3391 Hydroxy acids are not applied in layers. Only TCA and Jessners are used in that manner. For lactic/glycolic/salicylic/mandelic.... just leave them on for a longer time frame.
Quick question, when you say apply Vaseline like Egyptian eyeliner, do you mean with the wing and all? And if so, about how long of a wing? A centimeter or 2? TIA! 😊 I've been slowly preparing to do my 1st home peel and now that my daughter is going back to school and summer is basically over, I'm totally ready! I've been applying my tretinoin every 2-3 days and sunscreen always. I'm still nervous though! Is bottled water safe enough to dilute the acid with btw?
Can I use the serum 30 two or three times a week instead of using retinoids Prior to using TCA 20%, and in general for the rest of my life? And or Rosehip oil which I heard has naturally occurring vitamin A? I’m just not a fan of long-term retinoid use. Trying to find a workaround for beautiful skin. Thank you
Ahhhhhh, but retinoids are #1 the very best thing you can do for your skin. I can suggest this as a natural option: www.platinumskincare.com/essential-fx-bakuchiol/ All natural vitamin A essentials + bakuchiol. Great alternative. ... though I do still suggest adding in that retinoid like Fusion A 2-3x per week. Serum 15 or 30 can be alternated with retinoids .. or you can use that as your daily acid. It is VERY strong though. Are you currently using this? If not please start with the 15%.
I was given a lactic acid cream and fade cream to be use together to prep my skin for my chemical peel. After using them for 3 weeks my spots/ problem areas got darker and I'm even more self conscious than I was prior to using them :(. Should I continue to use it? Should i even bother with a chemical peel? It's already summer and I'm so discouraged.
Hmmmm. That is very interesting. A fade cream will not cause the skin to darken. They are filled with things that lighten the pigmentation and help to gently slough (lactic). *Do you have before/after photos and this is very noticeable on them? Are you avoiding the sun and using an SPF of at least 50 every day? If you aren't then this will all be in vain and your spotting will get darker. I would move forward with the peel as long as you are avoiding the sun/and protecting.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thank you for your response! I'm beginning to realize that my skin did not finished peeling..im starting to notice the dark areas slightly stripping away again so I will continue to observe. I have noted your recommendations and will incorporate an spf.
Hi mam can I use a fade bright for Life long? Can I use a a mild peel after stopping the use of a stranger peel ? can I do chemical peels for ever? Can I use vitamin c serum or aha bha serums on a fade bright?
Yes, you could. It is not like hydroquinone. There is nothing negative that will happen. I would also recommend the Vitamin C and always SPF 50 before stepping outdoors.
I want to use the TCA for my body and honestly preping my body with all these products seems to be kind of costly. Which product should be enough for body skin prepping before doing the peel?
Hi. This video is for the Face. The body is different. We STILL want to get the skin even though. So you can choose -- the 15% bodywash would be a great option. Use something like that every day for a few weeks. Another excellent choice would be our 25% Triple Treat body Lotion. That certainly would help to get the dead skin down to a minimum and nice and even. Then, when you apply your peel solution you will get a much better result
@@PlatinumSkinCare no I won’t use any scrubs. So for the week or so after my peel do I carry on with my normal routine? I use a lot of Korean products and I use glycolic toner should I carry on with them? Thank you for answering all my questions 😊
The most important peel preparation for TCA or Jessner if you have an olive skin tone or darker is Fade Bright. Be sure to apply Fade Bright 1 - 2 x per day for 2 weeks prior to applying your peel.
Our 5ml bottles will give about 3 layers on the whole face. If you are doing the neck/décolleté too .. then it might be only 2 layers. You may absolutely save the rest for another date. Once opened it is good UP TO 1 year.
How long should we continue these products after peel.suppose if we got desired results after 7-8 sessions and now we are doing peel once in 2 months just for maintenance then how many products we should use on daily basis without side effects. Please reply
I have dark skin and I want to do the salicylic acid peel. So should I use an acid serum or a retinoid? Or can I use both? And what times of the day should I be using the one that’s best for me?
I recommend a weekly 15% Salicylic. If you are working on pigmentation, pre treating with Fade Bright is always a good idea. Use it 1-2 x per day for 2 weeks prior to your peel and continue to use it daily throughout your peel series. If you wish to add a Glycolic Serum and Retinol to your regimen.... I recommend a Glycolic 15 Serum in the morning and a Retinol .10 at night.
Platinum Skin Care Thankyou. I had another question. SO I HAVE ALOT OF dark spots on my chest and back. I was wondering how to I get rid of it? I have dark, oily sensitive skin.
I would think that a toner could be ok if it is acidic enough and this is a 1x option that you have at home. pH of a 4.5 or lower ... and as long as it does not have leave-on ingredients to moisturize the skin. Glycerine and such. That would be 100% against the concept of Stripping the skin. For future peels though, be sure to have either a high percentage of alcohol (90+) or pure acetone to truly strip the skin.
Hello. What strength of TCA would you suggest for ice pick scars for Africa American skin? If you don’t suggest TCA what treatment would you suggest. Thanks 🙏
mixdbeautea Tca is the treatment for ice pick scars. 20% or preferably 30%. Since the acid is only applied INside the scars, the high percentage of 30 is generally not an issue at all. If you also want to do a full face peel though - pretreat with a melanin inhibitor for 2 weeks and only use the 13%.
Sure, that would certainly be an option. A nice glycolic 15% serum every night would help to cut down on some of the excess dead skin buildup. Use that for about 2 weeks.
Do you have lip and eye peels? I have a question my lips have alot of lines in them on the lips themselves which is normal but it drives me crazy. Will the peel help that. ?
Yes we do. See our eye peel here: ruclips.net/video/_BeLqGnplgQ/видео.html See our lip peel here: ruclips.net/video/MxMLCPyOiDg/видео.html Mind you we are not suggesting to apply the acid to your lips - but around them. There are some that choose to apply the acid to the lip surface itself, but the excessive dryness and chapping concern me. You would have to be extremely heavy with petrolatum to keep that from cracking.
Should I put acetone on my skin to remove any dirt from the surface of my skin then apply the chemical peel? I am dark skin, would I run into any problems by doing this?
Can I use a strong tca peel to remove a dermal birthmark on my eyelid called Nevus of ota and yes I have tried laser...it’s scary and extremely painful on the eyelid area. Tattoos can be removed by tca and my birthmark is about the same colour if not less. Is it possible to remove it with tca? And if so how much is the max % I should apply?
Wash with an acid cleanser daily to keep the skin clean and clear. Take a look at our 10% glycolic acid Revitalizing Cleanser here: www.platinumskincare.com/revitalizing-glycolic-cleanser-10/ Peels are dependent on the strength. A 30% glycolic could be done 1x every 2 weeks easily. STronger peels you will need to wait longer times in between. See the videos on each peel here: www.platinumskincare.com/which-acid-should-i-choose/
So today I did the peel with your products. It was great but the TCA definitely stings! It was hard for me to keep it on. Any advice as I took it off early
This really depends on your skin's sensitivity and the percentage you are applying. Most do very well with 2 layers of the TCA 13%. You can always purchase a lidocaine or prilocaine type product and numb the skin prior to an application. Wash well and do the prep solution.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thanks! Has been 2 days now and I didn’t get much peeling. Only at my chin. Despite it stinging a lot. I was expecting to peel like a snake due to the crazy stinging! But it is only at my chin. Is this a good sign? How can I also peel at my cheeks and forehead? Thanks
@@indianaajoness Well... at the 2 day point you are only just getting to the point to start flaking. The skin takes a few days to dry ... and then it can start around the nose and mouth and radiate outwards. You should end up with some light flaking for sure. **Remember you can always dilute the tca and make it milder if you wish. Cut it in 1/2 with water and get a 7%. That could be much less irritating for you.
Hi, just ordered your TCA 13%. I've been using Musely prescription spot cream nightly for hyperpigmentation/melasma for 2 months. It contains 12% hydroquinone, 6% kojic acid, 2% niacinamide & 2.5% hydrocortisone. I also have Retin-A cream 0.025%, But haven't used it since I started the spot cream, because I didn't know if I could use them together? Is my skin prepped enough for the peel? Or should I include the Retin-A for 2 weeks before I do the peel? Or do you recommend me using your Retinol serum and Fade bright? Thanks so much!
I would definitely apply both of those products. One is a lightener only and the other retinA. Stop use of both for 3-5 days before applying the TCA peel to avoid excess irritation.
Hola Jenifer espero te encuentres bien yo te quiero pedir de favor si me puedes decir cual acido me recomiendas para quitar unos granos que me salieron por toda mi cara. Despues de aber echo un peeling y aber estado expuesta al sol use sombrero y protector pero aun asi me salieron muchos granos y mi piel se volvio muy grasosa
For acne we recommend either the Mandelic acid here : www.platinumskincare.com/mandelic-peel-22-40/ or a stronger salicylic 15% here: www.platinumskincare.com/salicylic-peel-3-15-25/ I would also suggest you start using the Retinol .20% Molecular serum every evening to clear the pores and control the dead skin www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/ and Vitamin B Complex 2x per day to cut your acne in half and balance your skin. www.platinumskincare.com/b-complex-vitamin-b-cream/
Hi. I placed my order for the eye peel, TCA 13% & a mandelic. I forgot to order your cleanser. I use a cream cleanser now with Vit C in it. I also use Replenix glycolic acid peel pads once a wk. Is this ok or do you suggest anything else? I don't want to place an order right now for 1 product. TIA
I purchased your tca peel, what can i purchase here from my pharmacy for after the peel? I know not to peel any deadskin off but what can i use to moistureise on my skin that i can buy here at my local chemist?
daddys parts thank you so much! AEA Certified Emu Oil is indeed the best! We agree. There are so many adulterated oils out there. www.platinumskincare.com/emu-oil-pure-certified/
Hi Jenn, I bought salicylic acid peel 15 percent from platinum skin care... I did my first peel yesterday. Now today I can see dry patches...this isn't pigmentation stuff...it feels like it's getting very much dry...so is this normal?
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you ❤️ You are very helpful. I may ask more questions in future as I am excited to go through the whole series of chemical peel. You are the best... Just wanted to know what products should I purchase from platinum skin care to prepare my skin only for hrdroxy acid...
I don’t have fade bright I already have my peel from you though so what can I use instead of fade bright? Do I exfoliate with my glycolic the morning of the peel that I’m having that night?
@@PlatinumSkinCare I have light skin but a lot of acne scars so is it ok to use my Vit c after my peel like every day or do I stop it when I start to peel? When I’m peeling do I use any serums and oils or is it only moisturiser?
@@katebowes1 Please stop use of acids (like C or hydroxy) while you are in the peeling phase. Once that is done you can go back to your normal regimen.
I prepared for weeks and got PIH my face is burned, looks much worse and in areas that were fine. So basically I ruined my face. I regret using the peel every time I see my face. The “remedy” is so much worse than the problem. Is not worth it. I hope one I can recover my skin. I tossed the peel in the trash. Be careful, is not worth it at all.
Hello. This is something troubling to us. We do not know what product/peel you are even speaking of. You do not mention What peel you used or What percentage. How you applied it. How long you left it on... Layers applied. Basically... WHAT DID YOU USE? Did you use it correctly? Nothing but a long "general/complaint/warning". Are you ready to share? ... or should this just be removed as spam?
For the record I have been using hydroquinone for about 9 months and took a break and I have been using the fade bright cream with healthy ingredients. I decided to do the peel because those ingredients never worked for the hyperpigmentation which is the reason why i’m even more frustrated because these “remedies” to heal the damage already don’t work to remove the skin issues in the first place. I did a TCA 20% 1-2 layers before the summer, and did nothing. I restarted the session early September and this time I tried to get the frosting effect with 4 layers. it frosted and it peeled but it left the skin worse and even a larger patch that I didn’t have before and a weird circle the size of a nickel on my cheek which is very dark and didn’t have before, my other spots also seems darker. I truly feel the pain every time I see my face, the make up doesn’t cover it enough and I got nothing but regrets! You can remove my message and claim it as spam to keep comments clean but people have to know that this product has no value when the risk is much larger if about 80% of permanent damage making the whole situation even worse then when I started. why should we take chances?? your product is more risk than value. You should be more compassionate of the people that trusted this product because it ruined my face. I have ordered now Vitamin E oil to see if I can heal the scar, Rose oil and also ordered Civant which is also natural so I hope that helps me recover from this disastrous experience. I threw the peel on the trash.
@@lizz9840 All the videos I have seen say dark skin should start with 13% and one layer, increasing a layer each peel if tolerated. 20% is way too strong to start with on the face and if you have dark skin it's even more important. I get there are a lot of steps. I forgot to get fade bright for my age spots, but my first peel on my light skin went ok.
@@lizz9840it is troubling to me that you have not recovered a response. Sure, everyone does a peek at their own risk, but the response you received from the company was very defensive and accusatory. Not impressed.

I have a couple of questions:
1. I am latina light skin with yellow undertone. Wondering if I still need to use melanine inhibitor...?
2. I have some light to medium pigmentation on my jawline, near or underneath my ears. The area measure about the size of the head or a regular spoon so its not super small or super large either. Can I apply TCA only in that area? if so, what percentage is good for just spot treating an area like that? Or would it be better to do a even peel all over face?
3. If you do suggest to spot treat with TCA, do I also need to spot treat the area with melanine inhibitor and/or renoids on these area for two weeks prior to the TCA spot treatment?
Again thank you so much and for all the awesome information!
Look forward to your response so I can shop accordingly!
Anette Europa yes. Your skin falls into the line where we want to pretreat. Anything not white, really needs it. See this video ruclips.net/video/oCkWVuF79Ys/видео.html
Correct with Fade Bright and Retinol. Those will help so much and will prepare your skin.
I suggest the Tca 13% since you said this is just a lighter spot of pigmentation. No need for super heavy acid. Do 1-2 layers just on your spot (5 min in between layers) and then do 1 on your whole face.
Question for the people that only want to purchase the TCA 30 peel. My skin is wired, because my mother is light kinda like you. My father is a bit tan, not that dark but a good tan color. So my skin has always been weird, sometimes it looks like my mothers and then changes looking like my fathers. All in same day, it doesn’t matter if it’s sunny/hot or cold/not sunny outside that day. I like both skin colors but truthfully I think I look more older with a tan with my facials features and taking into account my weight. I look more younger when my skin seem to resemble my mothers fair side. I like both but I’m starting to lean more towards the fair side. Also if I get a mosquito bite it leaves a scar like a bruise afterwards. They leave but after a while. Because my skin would always change shades throughout the day in high school my friends called me a chameleon 😂. Oh my heritage is Mexican, I don’t look Mexican according to my Mexican friends and because of my skin changing they couldn’t get what my heritage was. So if I’m only going to purchase the tca 30 peel from your website, cause your girl still job hunting. For preparation for my peel what products can I use from the store. For instance I have a Loki acid soap that I purchased. It’s mainly to use on my hands since I wear hoodies all year around and the color of my hands don’t match my arms and the rest of my body. Also my hand joints seem to appear more darker. Since I was little never cared how I looked or my skin since I was considered overweight and ugly. Also I have brachydactyly type D thumbs. And hated them and didn’t want to bring any attention to my hands. Am I able to use my Kojic acid soap and make sure to moisturize with oils and hand cream prior to your TCA 30 peel. And after wards continue to use same protects. Or should I just moisturize with oil and hand cream.
Spoon Full your skin needs to be pretreated prior to any chemical peel with Fade Bright or another melanin inhibitor. This is to help reduce the likeliness of PIH *post inflammatory hyper pigmentation.
You will not be using a Tca 30 at all. That is too strong for anything other than treating a scar, mole, cross or the body. Please only begin with 1-2 layers of the TCA 13%. Then, after your peel is rinsed and skin patted dry, apply the Fade Bright again.
Hey for TCA cross percentage ia 80%
Hi,Thanks for your information..It helped me a lot...just adding up a question to clear my doubts.... I have olive skin tone so can i use hydroquinone 4% prior five weeks before chemical peeling process to prepare my skin?
Can I use hydroquinon 4% right after a chemical peel to avoid hyperpigmentation afterwards?
Thanks in advance... Looking forward to your reply ❤️❤️
Hello. Yes, HQ will be fine to help lessen melanin production prior to applying a stronger peel like TCA or Jessners. 2-4 weeks is generally fine - but the longer the better. SPF 50 every day as well. See this video: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin/
Thanks for this 🥰❤️
You’re welcome 😊
The prep for the face only or for the rest of the body such as knees, feet..
If you are going to be peeling the body then prep is always best. See this video on Body Peels: www.platinumskincare.com/hand-and-body-peeling-tca-30-versus-glycolic-70-demonstration/ and if you have darker/ethnic skin you will also NEED to prep with a melanin inhibitor and use a milder percentage: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin/
Hello, I am a customer and have purchased several products from you. How long should I discontinue Tretinoin/Retin A before doing a low percentage Lactic or Mandelic peel? How soon can I resume Tretinoin afterwards?
I have looked in your videos and on your website and cannot find this information. Your response would be greatly appreciated. It would be wonderful if you would do a video on this topic 🌸
PCC MFT hello there. We suggest discontinuing usage a couple of days before any peel. This is because retinoids make your skin more sensitive. This doesn’t bother everyone though - so you can use it up to the day prior if it isn’t a problem for you.
Then, once the peeling is done you can start up again.
Can I use Retinol and vit c serum (on alternate basis) as a night serum instead of serum 15 and 30 for lactic acid peel skin prepration. Hope you will answer my all queries which I posted at different videos. I am a beginner and doing peel very very 1st time so, trying to build my confidence and clearing all my doubts.please excuse me dear... Your channel is like a blessings for us regarding chemical peels topic and gives in depth Information. Almost from yesterday watching your videos and having youtube binge..🤗
You may apply the products in the order that suits your lifestyle and regimen the best. We give you guidelines... but there is no problem applying retinol or Vitamin C at night. Retinol is an Excellent prep for all peels. It is also something you should always use from now on to have the healthiest skin possible.
@@PlatinumSkinCare lf I am using Toner and moisturizer just after cleansing my face then how to apply 'Fade bright'. What should be the correct order Mam..(can I apply rose watet as a toner and apply fade Bright on it and skip my moisturizer 🤔🤔)
Question- I'm confused about the retinol as prep. I have a prescription retin-A and my dermatogolist said to make sure and stop the retin-A before you do a chemical peel. DO you agree with this? And how many days prior should I discontinue. However, she did say that it was excellent to use after, as it aids in peeling. Just wondering your recomendation. I just purchased the mandelic and tca 13%. I'm going to do the mandellic first for 4-6 weeks, then bump up to the TCA. Thank you your videos are great
RetinA to prep is perfect and quite mandatory (retinoids). Just be sure to stop use 4-6 days PRIOR to applying your acid peel.
After TCA or Jessners peel we do not recommend applying retinA ... because this is an acid and will cause irritation. We suggest a milder, non acid retinoid like Granactive or Retinol or Retinaldehyde instead for the first few days. We call this our Luminosity Method.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you so much
@@azhotmom :) absolutely.
Jessners peel or Tca peel first??
Hello. You will apply Jessners first. Please see this Tutorial for a Jessners _+ TCA peel: www.platinumskincare.com/jessners-tca-advanced-peeling/
Very informative video, thanks for sharing it. I already ordered the TCA peel (13% and 30%) for my acne scars. Feeling nervous and hopeful at the same time. One question I have is how long should we wait after the treatment to do laser procedures (specifically hair removal)?
www.platinumskincare.com/mixing-different-treatments-peels-needling-ipl-lasers-microdermabrasions/
A good rule of thumb is to alternate them monthly.
Would you suggest doing the cross treatment ( for pitted acne scars) before or after a peel for the entire face?
mixdbeautea I suggest to do the CROSS first and then your face application. Then the scars get treated two times.
Is there a full kit on your website for the TCA kit? I’m curious and I want to film it
We have our TCA peel where you purchase the acid itself. You can add on a prep or Fade Bright or the Luminosity if you wish - but it isn't a kit perse. Now, we DO have a Lip Peel Kit and also an Eye Peel Kit that are indeed a set. You can find both of those here:

Hi PSC-I have been using your peels for almost 3 yrs. I just watched this video again. It had been awhile since I last watched it. I use Vit C daily, spf 50, hydroquinone twice a day (when not on this I use a script of azelaic acid 15% and tretinoin .1%. I took notes of what you suggested for pre peel. I do not use Serum 15 or 30. Is my routine ok or should I add serum 30? The peels I do are Mandelic 40 and Jessners and sometimes Jessners/TCA. Thank you so much
3 years! Thank you. We are so happy to be a part of your Healthy Skin Regimen. :) I would really suggest focusing on your retinoid. That is your #1. Then the Azelaic .. you can either do every other night (Tret/Azelaic) ... or use the Azelaic during the day for your Acid. Everything else is great. Good job.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thx for the response. Sounds good. And, yes, 3 yrs and will keep continuing for the long term. Terrific products and always amazing help from
the PSC team
@@michy2630 Happy to help
Do i immediately wash the TCA peel off or do i wait at least 6hrs ?
TCA is self-neutralizing... so just wash it off when your final 5 minutes is up. Then apply treatments and healing products.
@@PlatinumSkinCare hello I just order the pealing solution 20% what healing treatments do you recommend right after peeling
Please I'm in Ghana, Africa. Can I get some of your products here to buy?
I wish you could. We seem to have a great trouble getting the products INTO Africa unfortunately.
Hi, Jennifer! really love your video. I have a question, what is the long term difference: TCA one layer every week, VS 4 layers once a month? how about other peels? lactic/glycolic? one layer once a week vs 4 layers once a month? with one layer, i almost have no down time, but with 4 layers, definitely peeling and few days of down time
With many layers you are going to reach your skin care goals more quickly. A single layer will take more treatments to get the same end result. The other part of that is purely - what works best with your life. Some people would rather have the constant light flaking and others would rather have only one to worry about. You always need to work your way up to those 4 layers though. Never start there. Begin with 1 or 2 layers the first time. Each time you do another peel you can potentially add on one more layer - if you feel you need it. Most people are good with about 3 layers and doing a peel 1 or many 2x per month.
@@PlatinumSkinCare can we apply more than 1 layer of salicylic, glycolic mandelic and lactic, if we are doing peel series of any one of these..?
@@universeiseverything3391 Hydroxy acids are not applied in layers. Only TCA and Jessners are used in that manner. For lactic/glycolic/salicylic/mandelic.... just leave them on for a longer time frame.
Quick question, when you say apply Vaseline like Egyptian eyeliner, do you mean with the wing and all? And if so, about how long of a wing? A centimeter or 2? TIA! 😊
I've been slowly preparing to do my 1st home peel and now that my daughter is going back to school and summer is basically over, I'm totally ready! I've been applying my tretinoin every 2-3 days and sunscreen always. I'm still nervous though! Is bottled water safe enough to dilute the acid with btw?
You just want a nice barrier of the vasoline around your entire eye to form a barrier so the TCA does not seep into the eye.
Can I use the serum 30 two or three times a week instead of using retinoids Prior to using TCA 20%, and in general for the rest of my life? And or Rosehip oil which I heard has naturally occurring vitamin A? I’m just not a fan of long-term retinoid use. Trying to find a workaround for beautiful skin. Thank you
Ahhhhhh, but retinoids are #1 the very best thing you can do for your skin. I can suggest this as a natural option: www.platinumskincare.com/essential-fx-bakuchiol/ All natural vitamin A essentials + bakuchiol. Great alternative. ... though I do still suggest adding in that retinoid like Fusion A 2-3x per week. Serum 15 or 30 can be alternated with retinoids .. or you can use that as your daily acid. It is VERY strong though. Are you currently using this? If not please start with the 15%.
I was given a lactic acid cream and fade cream to be use together to prep my skin for my chemical peel. After using them for 3 weeks my spots/ problem areas got darker and I'm even more self conscious than I was prior to using them :(. Should I continue to use it? Should i even bother with a chemical peel? It's already summer and I'm so discouraged.
Hmmmm. That is very interesting. A fade cream will not cause the skin to darken. They are filled with things that lighten the pigmentation and help to gently slough (lactic). *Do you have before/after photos and this is very noticeable on them? Are you avoiding the sun and using an SPF of at least 50 every day? If you aren't then this will all be in vain and your spotting will get darker. I would move forward with the peel as long as you are avoiding the sun/and protecting.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thank you for your response! I'm beginning to realize that my skin did not finished peeling..im starting to notice the dark areas slightly stripping away again so I will continue to observe. I have noted your recommendations and will incorporate an spf.
@@leapoffaith5975 Ok, that sounds like a good sign then.
Hi mam can I use a fade bright for Life long? Can I use a a mild peel after stopping the use of a stranger peel ? can I do chemical peels for ever? Can I use vitamin c serum or aha bha serums on a fade bright?
Yes, you could. It is not like hydroquinone. There is nothing negative that will happen. I would also recommend the Vitamin C and always SPF 50 before stepping outdoors.
Thanks mam
@@annapurnajena6930 :)
I want to use the TCA for my body and honestly preping my body with all these products seems to be kind of costly. Which product should be enough for body skin prepping before doing the peel?
Hi. This video is for the Face. The body is different. We STILL want to get the skin even though. So you can choose -- the 15% bodywash would be a great option. Use something like that every day for a few weeks. Another excellent choice would be our 25% Triple Treat body Lotion. That certainly would help to get the dead skin down to a minimum and nice and even. Then, when you apply your peel solution you will get a much better result
Thanks for this it’s great 😊 the morning of your TCA peel do I do my normal skincare routine?
Certainly - as long as that doesn't include any physical scrubs.
@@PlatinumSkinCare no I won’t use any scrubs. So for the week or so after my peel do I carry on with my normal routine? I use a lot of Korean products and I use glycolic toner should I carry on with them? Thank you for answering all my questions 😊
@@katebowes1 No toners or drying products. Just apply healing oils and protect with SPF before heading out.
@@PlatinumSkinCare ok but even if my toners are hydrating I shouldn’t use them or the hydrating essences?
Can I use snail mucin after 13% peel
You may use any healing treatments that you wish. Just steer clear of high %'s of acids like our Serum 15 or 30 or Tretinoin.
I've been using retin a for a bit an off brand I'm going to start with the 13 percent, am I allowed to bring that under my eye
Yes, but please use a barrier ointment such as vaseline to do a line under the lash line so that the acid doesn't seep further than you wish.
I didn't go out for 1 week...am I ready to do the peel??
The most important peel preparation for TCA or Jessner if you have an olive skin tone or darker is Fade Bright. Be sure to apply Fade Bright 1 - 2 x per day for 2 weeks prior to applying your peel.
How many layers will the 5ml tca peel give. Can it be opened then reused for another peel at a later date?
Our 5ml bottles will give about 3 layers on the whole face. If you are doing the neck/décolleté too .. then it might be only 2 layers. You may absolutely save the rest for another date. Once opened it is good UP TO 1 year.
I’m doing my first ever peel tonight do I do my normal morning routine? Like acids and Vit c? Sorry I keep asking I’m so nervous 😂
Yes, that is fine. Just no scrubs.
Hi I was wondering if you had a check
list that I could print out to prepare for a chemical peel for before and after care?
We do have everything listed in our manual. That is a great idea though for a website printout. Maybe we can get something like that for people.
Hi I haven't bought the peel prep solution is there anything else I can use?
Isopropyl Alcohol from the drugstore. Try to get the 90%.
Thanks for replying but I thought it would be best to order the peel prep solution from Platinum skin care ☺
How long should we continue these products after peel.suppose if we got desired results after 7-8 sessions and now we are doing peel once in 2 months just for maintenance then how many products we should use on daily basis without side effects. Please reply
I have answered you in several other posts/videos.
@@PlatinumSkinCare yes perfect
I have dark skin and I want to do the salicylic acid peel. So should I use an acid serum or a retinoid? Or can I use both? And what times of the day should I be using the one that’s best for me?
I recommend a weekly 15% Salicylic. If you are working on pigmentation, pre treating with Fade Bright is always a good idea. Use it 1-2 x per day for 2 weeks prior to your peel and continue to use it daily throughout your peel series. If you wish to add a Glycolic Serum and Retinol to your regimen.... I recommend a Glycolic 15 Serum in the morning and a Retinol .10 at night.
Platinum Skin Care Thankyou. I had another question. SO I HAVE ALOT OF dark spots on my chest and back. I was wondering how to I get rid of it? I have dark, oily sensitive skin.
The spots are from acne.
Can I use glycolic acid toner when prepping my skin for a jessner peel?
I would think that a toner could be ok if it is acidic enough and this is a 1x option that you have at home. pH of a 4.5 or lower ... and as long as it does not have leave-on ingredients to moisturize the skin. Glycerine and such. That would be 100% against the concept of Stripping the skin.
For future peels though, be sure to have either a high percentage of alcohol (90+) or pure acetone to truly strip the skin.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you but I meant like a week or two before the chemical peel should I keep using my glycolic acid toner or should I stop
@@besttobeyou OH! Certainly. Using an acid cleanser or toner or serum daily is super helpful for prepping the skin.
She is civil engineer.
LOL.. A civil Engineer of the face! Super.
Hello. What strength of TCA would you suggest for ice pick scars for Africa American skin? If you don’t suggest TCA what treatment would you suggest. Thanks 🙏
mixdbeautea Tca is the treatment for ice pick scars. 20% or preferably 30%. Since the acid is only applied INside the scars, the high percentage of 30 is generally not an issue at all. If you also want to do a full face peel though - pretreat with a melanin inhibitor for 2 weeks and only use the 13%.
Platinum Skin Care Thank you so much. I really appreciate the quick response.
mixdbeautea you are welcome. We want you to make the right decisions.
Hello. Can I prepare mi skin with glicolic acid before a tca peel?
Sure, that would certainly be an option. A nice glycolic 15% serum every night would help to cut down on some of the excess dead skin buildup. Use that for about 2 weeks.
Do you have lip and eye peels? I have a question my lips have alot of lines in them on the lips themselves which is normal but it drives me crazy. Will the peel help that. ?
Yes we do. See our eye peel here: ruclips.net/video/_BeLqGnplgQ/видео.html
See our lip peel here: ruclips.net/video/MxMLCPyOiDg/видео.html
Mind you we are not suggesting to apply the acid to your lips - but around them. There are some that choose to apply the acid to the lip surface itself, but the excessive dryness and chapping concern me. You would have to be extremely heavy with petrolatum to keep that from cracking.
Should I put acetone on my skin to remove any dirt from the surface of my skin then apply the chemical peel? I am dark skin, would I run into any problems by doing this?
Wash well and then use a prep solution. If you don't have ours a 90% alcohol or acetone would be perfect.
Can I use a strong tca peel to remove a dermal birthmark on my eyelid called Nevus of ota and yes I have tried laser...it’s scary and extremely painful on the eyelid area. Tattoos can be removed by tca and my birthmark is about the same colour if not less. Is it possible to remove it with tca? And if so how much is the max % I should apply?
Generally speaking we do not recommend applying a high strength TCA to your eye area. I would suggest having a doctor take a look at that.
Its is my second peel in 6 years, i want to eliminate acne scars how often shoul i do a peel to get my face clean?
Wash with an acid cleanser daily to keep the skin clean and clear. Take a look at our 10% glycolic acid Revitalizing Cleanser here: www.platinumskincare.com/revitalizing-glycolic-cleanser-10/ Peels are dependent on the strength. A 30% glycolic could be done 1x every 2 weeks easily. STronger peels you will need to wait longer times in between. See the videos on each peel here: www.platinumskincare.com/which-acid-should-i-choose/
So today I did the peel with your products. It was great but the TCA definitely stings! It was hard for me to keep it on. Any advice as I took it off early
This really depends on your skin's sensitivity and the percentage you are applying. Most do very well with 2 layers of the TCA 13%. You can always purchase a lidocaine or prilocaine type product and numb the skin prior to an application. Wash well and do the prep solution.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thanks! Has been 2 days now and I didn’t get much peeling. Only at my chin. Despite it stinging a lot. I was expecting to peel like a snake due to the crazy stinging! But it is only at my chin. Is this a good sign? How can I also peel at my cheeks and forehead? Thanks
@@indianaajoness Well... at the 2 day point you are only just getting to the point to start flaking. The skin takes a few days to dry ... and then it can start around the nose and mouth and radiate outwards. You should end up with some light flaking for sure.
**Remember you can always dilute the tca and make it milder if you wish. Cut it in 1/2 with water and get a 7%. That could be much less irritating for you.
Hi, just ordered your TCA 13%. I've been using Musely prescription spot cream nightly for hyperpigmentation/melasma for 2 months. It contains 12% hydroquinone, 6% kojic acid, 2% niacinamide & 2.5% hydrocortisone. I also have Retin-A cream 0.025%, But haven't used it since I started the spot cream, because I didn't know if I could use them together? Is my skin prepped enough for the peel? Or should I include the Retin-A for 2 weeks before I do the peel? Or do you recommend me using your Retinol serum and Fade bright? Thanks so much!
I would definitely apply both of those products. One is a lightener only and the other retinA. Stop use of both for 3-5 days before applying the TCA peel to avoid excess irritation.
Thank you so much for your quick response!

I prepared for weeks and got PIH my face is burned, looks much worse and in areas that were fine. So basically I ruined my face. I regret using the peel every time I see my face. The “remedy” is so much worse than the problem. Is not worth it. I hope one I can recover my skin. I tossed the peel in the trash. Be careful, is not worth it at all.
Hello. This is something troubling to us. We do not know what product/peel you are even speaking of. You do not mention What peel you used or What percentage. How you applied it. How long you left it on... Layers applied. Basically... WHAT DID YOU USE? Did you use it correctly? Nothing but a long "general/complaint/warning". Are you ready to share? ... or should this just be removed as spam?
For the record I have been using hydroquinone for about 9 months and took a break and I have been using the fade bright cream with healthy ingredients. I decided to do the peel because those ingredients never worked for the hyperpigmentation which is the reason why i’m even more frustrated because these “remedies” to heal the damage already don’t work to remove the skin issues in the first place. I did a TCA 20% 1-2 layers before the summer, and did nothing. I restarted the session early September and this time I tried to get the frosting effect with 4 layers. it frosted and it peeled but it left the skin worse and even a larger patch that I didn’t have before and a weird circle the size of a nickel on my cheek which is very dark and didn’t have before, my other spots also seems darker.
I truly feel the pain every time I see my face, the make up doesn’t cover it enough and I got nothing but regrets! You can remove my message and claim it as spam to keep comments clean but people have to know that this product has no value when the risk is much larger if about 80% of permanent damage making the whole situation even worse then when I started. why should we take chances?? your product is more risk than value. You should be more compassionate of the people that trusted this product because it ruined my face. I have ordered now Vitamin E oil to see if I can heal the scar, Rose oil and also ordered Civant which is also natural so I hope that helps me recover from this disastrous experience. I threw the peel on the trash.
This is scary.
@@lizz9840 All the videos I have seen say dark skin should start with 13% and one layer, increasing a layer each peel if tolerated. 20% is way too strong to start with on the face and if you have dark skin it's even more important.
