Women with color: This peel is not for us. I gave it four stars not to discourage lighter women for whom it may work just fine. We with the melanin compliment should use the LACTIC acid peels. The application methods, the stay on time, the recovery time and projected results for the TCA 20% + Jessner's peel (all acid peels actually), are not calculated with regard for our melanin, which reacts strongly against peels. Even with Lactic acid, I've learned we women with color must proceed with extreme care.
I am the exact color of Queen Latifah, flawless café au lait; I look well under my 40 years and thought I'd use a peel to maintain that edge. This TCA 20% + Jessner's peel, left on for less time than suggested by the enclosed directions, 2 minutes at most, proceeded to bubble, then frost and burn on my skin. I immediately rinsed thoroughly with cold water. Patted dry, looked in the mirror. In two small places the acid had completely lifted the top layer of skin to expose the flesh beneath--and boy did it hurt (hot spots, according to the product pamphlet).
Overall, the cheeks, forehead, and chin were deeply flushed red. And my heart sank. Where there is red--the melanin has already been alarmed--the red will turn deep brown, or black. Which it proceeded to do.
Over the course of TWO WEEKS the red skin flaked and fell off in scales. Beneath, it left taupe colored stains that over the THIRD week deepened to a dark chocolate--and this was without sun exposure, as I was embarrassed to show my face in public.
After FOUR weeks the dark chocolate stains remained, deepened even, on my once beautiful even-toned complexion. I looked like a Halloween character. Such uneven melanin concentration would take a year to eighteen months to fade--naturally.
I set to work reading all the reviews on acid peels here on Amazon. I googled acid peels and read much of the literature available, some of it advising Africans to stay away from peels altogether. I learned that LACTIC acid is the best for those of us with color.
I purchased the 35% Lactic Acid peel from Skin Laboratory, available here on AMAZON. Before applying the peel I had on hand a bottle of Vitamin E capsules (two capsules pricked with a pin readily within reach). I had also at hand, a small bottle of castor oil, as I'd noticed that in some of the peel products I'd researched AND in more than a few high-end cosmetics castor oil is a key ingredient.
I applied a very thin layer of castor oil to the dark areas and waited a few minutes for it to sink in. Then I applied the 35% Lactic Acid peel. I left the Lactic Acid peel on for 4 minutes. It hardly burned at all, perhaps because of the castor oil. I rinsed and looked in the mirror. EUREKA!! The dark marks had lifted some. I squeezed Vitamin E from one of the capsules and dabbed it on the dark areas. I felt hope. Hope that I wouldn't have to walk around spotted for 18 months. I need only reapply the peel, very carefully in graduating stages, always with the castor oil, and afterwards apply the Vitamin E.
And that's what I'm doing, twice a week. It's been two weeks since I began the Lactic Acid peel regimen, four mini-peels so far, and the stains are almost gone.
I put one tiny drop of Lactic Acid peel into a gob of castor oil, mix it in the palm of my hand and apply that at bedtime. When I wake the marks are even more faded. I wash with Kinerase PhotoFacial Cleanser from Sephora; it leaves my face incredibly bright, and youthful like no other product. The other two products in the Kinerase PhotoFacial line, the night moisturizer and the day moisturizer with SPF 50 are worthless. UNT SPF 50 works better for a quarter of the price (I got mine on Ebay). I apply the UNT, then top it with Smashbox Photo Finish Primer or Avon Magix--both of which have additional SPF and make the UNT completely disappear. I figure in another 4 weeks the marks will be entirely gone--and I'll have my confidence back by New Years 2010. I hope my drama helps you avoid the trauma.

TCA (Trichloroacetic acid) is a well-known chemical peel agent proven to have exceptional scar and wrinkle reducing abilities. EACH ORDER INCLUDES: 1 ounce high quality JESSNER'S SOLUTION (Resorcinol, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid) (30-45 PEELS), 1 ounce high quality TCA 20% solution (30-45 PEELS), Now available with dropper for easier distribution in sealed blue glass bottle, Easy-to-follow professional chemical peel information booklet with detailed instructions, Booklet includes precautions, preparation, directions, combining peels, after peel therapy and healing process procedure, Guaranteed NEW AND IMPROVED SKIN with long lasting results. WHY IS IT BENEFICIAL TO USE A COMBINATION PEEL? Jessner's + TCA Peel combination is a specialized form of chemical peel. First the Jessner's solution is applied to the skin, then a gentler more mild form of TCA is used to achieve deeper results without the risks associated with deeper chemical peels. The Jessner's solution was found effective in destroying the epidermal barrier by breaking up individual epidermal cells. This also allows a deeper penetration of the TCA and a more even application of the peeling solution. This combination has been proven to be as effective as the use of 40% Trichloroacetic Acid with a greater safety margin. The application of acid and resultant frosting are better controlled with the combination so that the "hot spots" with higher concentrations of TCA can be controlled, creating an even peel with less incidence of dyschromias and scarring.
