Pineapple Pumpkin Enzyme Skin Peel 1 oz - Enhanced with Papaya Extract & Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Professional Chemical Peel)

Re: Pineapple Pumpkin Enzyme Skin Peel- Enhanced with Papaya Extract & AHA. Shipping & Service: This peel arrived fast, and in great packaging. Product Use and Effectiveness: Overall Rating - Great. Personal Use Overall: I used the product and my skin was noticeably refined, enhanced and un-injured after the initial use. My Skin Type: My skin is caucasian, in relatively good shape, with some issues from past & present sun and some continuing acne issues. I have usual aging skin. At the time of the application, I did not have any injuries/wounds/inflammation/unusual dryness. I have employed an anti-aging/anti acne daily regimen for years. Immediately after peel, I could see a difference - skin was smoother, and refined. This peel resulted in a porcelain like hue to the skin. That hue continued into day 2 (today), after the shower, etc. The result is similar to that which I recall when I received a skin treatment in a spa. Today, my boyfriend, without my inquiry, complimented me on how my skin looked. Self Application: I read & followed all enclosed directions (including as to pre-peel prep with alcohol - easy), I did an initial spot test (no issue) and then I applied the peel (over face) as directed (in terms of time and amount) Except, I chose not to apply between upper cheek bone and eye area. There was a slight skin sting on the second pass (i.e after 5 minutes you can re-cover the skin for another 5 minutes); if a rating of 5 is significant, the sting would be a 1.5. Rinses off easy with copius cool water. Although you do not use a significant amount of the product, I found my skin to be refined, smooth, with a hint of a porcelain shine, but not injured. To the touch, I can feel a smooth difference. Use as directed (not more than 10 minutes) and I would imagine that you will be pleasantly surprised. I feel confident that future applications will continue to reveal good results. Additionally, this type of mild peel is likely to make your skin more susceptible to the beneficial properties in your daily skin regimen. I have used this peel three times over the course of months, since purchase. A little goes a long way. Additional Application: Also, I invited my friend to try this product, following the same procedures above. She experienced less of a sting. I would say that the condition/appearance of her skin is relatively poor, from sun, smoking and age and she admitted that she has no present/history of a skin regimen. I did notice that the peel revealed skin that was obviously subject to a recent treatment, revealing refinement and again a porcelain like shine in the light. To the touch, she could feel a difference. Sting, Pain or other issues? - No, not really: As noted above - There was a slight skin sting on the second pass (i.e after 5 minutes you can recover the skin for another 5 minutes) if a rating of 5 is significant, the sting would be a 1.5.; Use of a paper/magazine to fan does soothe the sting. Also, I did see a very slight redness 1 hour post-peel. 24 hours post-treatment, there is no noticeable negative issue. 24 hours after peel, there is no indication that the peel brought on acne, lasting redness or dryness/dry patches. I did avoid any lotion with aha/retinol in the 24 hours post-peel and I did use an SPF. [Update: After a recent use, I did have a dry patch on one cheek, which I should have better concealed/protected with more applications of sunblock or staying out of the sun during the healing process; so be mindful of how the sun can damage/discolor freshly treated skin.] Words of Wisdom or something like that: It can be precarious to try out a professional peel, bought on line, and caution should be the foundation of any approach to the use of any product on your body; That said, I find this to be a great, MILD product and I do recommend this particular product from Perfect Image. Be sure to follow directions, do not let desperation, anxiousness or impatience be your guide - therefore, do not use other than as directed (i.e. not longer, stronger or more frequently) - its just not worth it - ever. Also, take the time to wear sunblock, especially with AHA's, peels or other skin refining treatments; not using a high spf can damage recently treated skin. I would recommend a mild product, like this one, for consistent at home use. No, I am not affiliated with this company, whatsoever. I do trust this product, found it to be a great investment and l like what I see. I wrote this review, to possibly be of assistance to someone like myself, who wants to have great skin, who doesn't have the time or money to go to the spa, again and again, and who is looking for an at home peel that has good, safe results. I hope that this helps someone. Take Care.

I had never done a peel on myself before this experience although I have had several professionally administered. They can be rather pricey so I really wanted to try one and see how effective it could be. I carefully read the instructions and followed them to the T. I'm happy to report that the results just keep getting more and more awesome and I am now a seasoned pro at providing myself this service at a quarter of the price I've paid others to do it for me. My first two peels were rather quick and done very cautiously since the process and the product was new to me. They were more for practice to get a feel for the product and how it reacted with my skin. The detailed instructions really helped to prepare and guide me. The first time I only allowed the product on for about 3 minutes. It felt very tingly as three minutes came around so I was prudent to follow the directions and rinse my face with cool water after just a couple of minutes of sensation. The results of that session were not visibly obvious to me but my skin felt refreshed. As recommended I waited a week exactly and did another peel of which I extended the time to almost 6 minutes. The tingling got pretty intense but it stopped as soon as the cool water easily rinsed the product off. This time I noticed that my face was a little blotchy red in several areas which lasted for about 3 days but when it cleared, my skin looked bright and clear, my pours greatly reduced, and my skin felt very good. I've continued to do peels about once a month since, usually allowing the product on for between 6 - 8 minutes. This seems to be the perfect threshold for me, so if you decide to try it, and I recommend that you do, experiment with the timing based on how the product feels on your skin and how your skin looks after the treatment. It doesn't take much time nor much product, only 3/4 of the dropper. For me it starts getting really tingly at about 3 minutes and increases in intensity until around 6.5 to 7 minutes, then it starts to level off a bit so I just give it another minute and rinse. I recommend you prepare for your skin to be slightly to moderately blotchy for up to 3 days after the treatment. It's mostly around my lips, nose, and chin areas with a little around the outside corners of my eyes. I haven't noticed any actual peeling other than an occasional flake of dry skin here and there, but my skin feels a little tender for a couple days after the process. I schedule my peels for periods when I have a couple - few days of being at home or low key publically and definitely a week away of any type of social occasion where I might have to be in the public eye. Of course a little makeup could hide the blotchiness if needed but I try to give my skin a chance to heal and rejuvinate itself before applying too many other chemicals. I just gently cleanse, tone, and use plenty of vitamin C serum and sunscreen while the blotches disappear and then my skin looks perfectly revived, plumped and youthful. I am very pleased to report that I continue to receive an abundant amount of compliments about how good my skin looks since using this product so that is proof enough for me to be able to confidently share my experience with you. I will definitely purchase again and continue to treat myself to this peel as part of my beauty ritual for as long as I keep having such good results.

I bought this because I had had expensive pumpkin peel facials before, and it worked without irritating my sensitive skin. I cleanse my skin normally before using this, I do not follow the suggestion to clean twice or use alcohol first because my skin reacts to everything. I read all of the instructions thoroughly before use, with the magnifier on my phone. The first time I used it I left it on for one minute, and I the results were minimal and comparable to using my konjac sponge. But it was important that I test my reaction to this product and so I'm glad I did that short trial run. I waited two weeks and then used it again last night, I left it on for 2 1/2 minutes. The burning increased the whole time and I was afraid I'd over done it. I used a wet, cold washcloth 3x to remove the product, and then applied a light moisturizer as the directions specify not to over moisturize. My skin was immediately smoother and more radiant. I was concerned that a couple of small pimples were an angry bright red. However! When I woke up this morning, those little pimples were gone. PLUS, one of my deep horizontal forehead wrinkles was gone, and the other is nearly gone as well. My entire skin tone and texture is more even and some old acne scars are less noticeable. Today my powder foundation looked just like natural skin. I also applied some on my forearms to lighten sun spots and left it on for 5 minutes -- they have definitely faded after only one application. I am very excited about the results from this product and I will continue to use it every two weeks! I'd like to step it up to weekly, but better safe than inflamed. Maybe with my next bottle I can use it every week.

Works really nicely, but you have to read the instructions and use as directed!! I wonder if people who leave bad reviews aren't doing that. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and looking like it has a nice glow. I made the mistake of leaving it on too long once under my eye and it did irritate that area and leave it red and burned looking for a few days, so that is why it is very important to follow the directions. I am in my early 40's with some early signs of aging, fine lines under the eyes and some deeper ones on the forehead, and some old acne scars here and there. I bought this hoping it would help reduce some of those. I've been using it 1-2 times per week now for about three weeks. I can't tell on myself if it has done anything (I forgot to take "before" pictures) but I have just recently started getting a few compliments on how nice my skin looks. If anything, I know it feels much softer and smoother. I will keep using it if only for how it feels! I think the most important things I can say about this is read the directions carefully, don't leave it on too long, and MOISTURIZE afterwards. And wear sunscreen! And you have to give it time - one use will not change your face but continued use will give you results.

This is my first chemical peel purchase, and chose this product based on the price and reviews. I have some scarring on my lower leg and one of my forearms from folliculitis, and my Dr. recommended trying a professional chemical peel to help with the dark spots left behind. I was very anxious to try this, and followed the directions for applying to clean skin and leaving the product on for 1-2 minutes to see how my skin responded before leaving it on for another minute or two. I have been doing this routine weekly for the last three weeks, and have noticed that my dark spots are beginning to lighten, but I have a way to go since my skin is very fair. So far, I have not had any adverse reactions as far as skin irritation or any significant peeling from using the product. I was glad to see that in addition to the glycolic and lactic acid, that there is also papaya extract that provides natural exfoliation of dead skin; pineapple enzymes that help to moisturize, hydrate, and provide additional anti-aging benefits; and pumpkin extract to increase cellular turnover and promote the production of collagen and elastin for improving the appearance of fine lines and the skin’s overall texture. This product is made in the USA in a FDA registered facility and is free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates. The product is also not tested on animals and they also use sustainable raw materials and practices. I look forward to continued positive results from this product after several weeks of use in order to avoid laser treatment that is very expensive. For the price and positive results others have had with the product, I am hoping to have the same experience in the future.

Amazing product. Strong and results obvious.

Item is very gentle and did not cause my skin to peel even after I left it on for 10 minutes.

I love this peel, it is sincerely amazing. I want to 'second' the other reviewer who says this is a SERIOUS peel even though you may be thrown off by the fact that it is derived from fruits. (well, weren't we all ;0). I recently did a "buffered 70% glycolic" at a spa and I find this to be far more effective for far less money. I used the Pineapple Pumpkin Enzyme Peel for UNDER two minutes and WOWZERS, this bad boy works! I am a veteran of skin peels, microdermabrasion, and multitudes of other treatments and this is one of the best. I STRONGLY encourage you to try this peel and to NOT leave it on longer then TWO minutes the first time. I'm tough when it comes to peels and this would have done some damage if I would have left it on for over 5 minutes - just try it in increments. I'm so thankful I limited myself to this because when I 'washed' the peel off my face SKIN (old dead skin mind you!) was coming off too and not in miniscule amounts- this is no joke. I was feeling like just about every pore on my face was congested and only one use of this product has made my pores look smaller. I'm hopeful that with weekly use my skin will start getting that beautiful porcelain glow I see on some women. I'm finding it VERY difficult to believe anyone who says they had no results - I just cannot imagine it.

Love this if your new to peels this is the one to use I had no reaction to this at all I'm using it twice a week right now but I'm sure I could use it more it's very gentle as a beginer I'm leaving the peel on for about 60 seconds to start with

لقد أرسلوا لي المنتج منتهي الصلاحية من ٦ اشهر 😕؟!

Skin seems fresh after use on hands. Follow the instructions to minimize skin damage. It has an undesirable smell.

This was easy to use. I left it on for 2 minutes the first time. Gentle on skin and no reaction. People are commenting on how young my skin looks.
