Jessner Solution Acid Peel 14% 8oz. 240ml Pro Size (Level 2 pH 1.9) - Exfoliating & Age-Defying Facial Chemical Peel

The photos are after I tried it a second time, using two layers, waiting 5 minutes after the first. You can see a mild peeling and redness.I'm 38 with box pick scars, large pores, and uneven texture. The first time I tried it, I poured some in a glass bowl and using a cotton pad, I avoided the area under my nose and eyes since those are the most sensitive for me. I did only one layer. It stung as expected but it was bearable. I thought if I washed it off 5 minutes after I applied it, it would stop burning but it seemed to only make it worse or prolong it. Again, it was bearable. The stinging stopped about 5 minutes after I washed it. My face was mildly red but no real peeling.Waited a month. Did it again second time. Waited 5 minutes and applied another layer. After 15ish minutes total, washed it off, stinging still but stopped after a few more minutes. This time though the stinging was a little more bearable and as weird as this may sound, I enjoyed the stinging. It felt like it was penetrating my skin and actually potentially doing what it was supposed to. Like a nice "burning off" my skin. But pleasant.Anyways the photos are after the second attempt, there is some mild peeling but I want more. I'll continue the attempts, doing more layers with each attempt. There are some people here saying you're supposed to leave it on over night and not really washing it off. But someone says that the chemical reaction is really only good for ten minutes and that after ten minutes of the burning, there is no more ingredient to continue the reaction so it's a moot point to leave it on (or take off) after ten minutes. After I reach 5 layers, depending on the results, I may start trying leaving 1 layer overnight and so on.

BEWARE - THIS IS THE REAL DEAL AND THEN SOME! I have had many Jessner peels on my face and back at my dermatologist's office and considered myself knowledgeable in regards to peels. My pain threshold has peaked at a 2.75 for the Jessner in the past when received from a professional. Well this time I decided to train my husband to be the aesthetician and requested he do as many runs on myback as two bottles would allow. I believe we did four passes, each pass waiting for frosting in between, when I started to feel discomfort that concerned me. The pain kept increasing, even after we neutralized the peel with baking soda and water. (Maybe this solution does not neutralize this Jessner peel as it did not help with the burning one bit.) The pain became unbearable! I was on the bathroom floor crying as my husband went to the bodega to buy more baking soda as we kept applying it with water and rinsing. Relief finally came about a half hour later when I was put in the shower and just had the water run on my back for about 10 minutes. The half hour that we couldn't get the burning to stop was incredibly painful. I would honestly say I was at an 8.5. I was unable to even speak and simply shaking on the bathroom floor. I really want people to be careful with this peel! Ok, so that being said, I am thrilled with the results! Major peeling on my entire back. It is basically molting off in complete sheets. The skin underneath is going to be flawless! I will post some photos!

I've done an at home 15% TCA with two layers that gave me mild flaking and not much change to the skin. My under eyes never flaked at all despite frosting. I'm 42 and have a couple fine lines around my eyes and some general uneven tone. Since I apparently have rhino skin, I decided to try a Jessner/ TCA combo. I only did my under eyes and prepped with alcohol, did 1 layer of Jessner and left it for 5 minutes. Then a second layer of Jessner and 5 minutes later, a layer of 15% TCA. Another 5 minutes and then a final layer of TCA, so 4 layers altogether of the combination. 30 minutes later I put some Neosporin on the area and then left it alone. By day 3 the skin was disgusting -brown, spotty, and crunchy. I kept aquaphor and a mineral based sunscreen on. Today is day 5 and both under eyes peeled in a sheet - the skin underneath is perfect and the lines I was targeting are at least 70% reduced. Definitely going to do this again in a month to six weeks on my whole face. I wouldn't recommend being as aggressive as I was - I have unusually thick skin! Gross picture attached, sorry.

It's a jessners peel as stated, don't worry like I did it's not some off product or something it says it's not. I'm glad I bought it but there isnt much peeling. I feel there are better ones out there possibly. Expect redness for at least 3 days or if you are fair complected like I am up to 5. And the itchiness is real. My suggestion after I did this once and realized it doesn't peel much.... On my next try I used one layer of this and then a 15% tca from another brand over this and it worked Tons Better! So if you are looking for a good peel like I was this won't do it alone but paired with another product of tca it will most definitely work well.

***DO NOT buy this unless you want to PEEEEEEEL! I’ve done 30% salycilic and had some flaking and a 50% glycolic that only made my skin dry. I decided to give this one a go and FINALLY got a real peel!I did 3 passes all over and a 4th in my trouble areas. The application gives an intense burning but it’s not untolerable. I was immediately red & woke up with some dark spots the next morning.I’ll be honest, 3 days in I regretted it, swore I’d never do it again, and almost cried. After not having a “real peel” with other peel i didn’t expect to get such an intense peel. My face was really tight, cracking every time I opened my mouth to eat or laugh.Fast forward to 6 days in & I’m loving what I’m seeing. I still have at least 3 more days before I am completely done peeling but I can see new skin is absolutely perfect. No more huge pores, acne cleared, scars and wrinkles reduced.I would definitely recommend this peel as long as you have at least 7 days to recover (unless you don’t mind going in public while peeling).
