It’s great for people like me who use acids regularly and need something stronger than the Sensi Peel. Ultra Peel I is specially formulated to treat maturing skin. I get these regularly for maintenance purposes, and rarely ever peel - but I still see great results. This is a great option for a first time peel. Will improve surface texture and brighten the skin while helping to Including those with highly sensitive skin. Sensi Peel is formulated as a unique peeling option for all patients, It is a blend of TCA, a peeling agent that treats textural concerns and lactic acid (alpha hydroxy acid / AHA), with the addition of phytohormones for plumping and hydration. Great for anti-aging, managing breakouts, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and evening out skin tone. While the best thing to do is have your skin assessed by a professional, but I’ll list some of the different peel options (spotlighting PCA because that’s what I’ve been doing/researching) and their benefits, according to their ingredient breakdowns: Blended TCA Peels from PCA SKIN He’ll start with the detox pore treatment, then go to retinol and a blended TCA, or when I had a couple of hormonal cysts that were (not to be dramatic ) ruining my life!!, he went with the deeper PCA Peel with hydroquinone that knocked them right out and cleared everything up. I have gotten different peels on my visits, depending on my skin’s needs - and Kevin loves to “cocktail” different acids to get truly tailored results. Different blends are used depending on the individual, skin type, and the desired results. It’s not my first time getting peels - and full disclosure: my first three PCA Skin peels were complimentary - but what I like about their approach is that it’s not one size fits all. He’s all about the science behind everything, explains everything in detail, and still makes the whole process a relaxing spa experience. Every time I go in, I pick his brain about the different types of ingredients and their benefits, and he is so knowledgable. And ever since I’ve been going to Kevin at KUR Skin Lab for PCA SKIN peels, I’ve come to realize that not all peels are equal. But when my skin is in need of that reset button, there’s nothing quite like a chemical peel - it leaves my skin feeling baby smooth and clear, makes my pores look smaller, and my skin tone more even. I think of it this way: getting a chemical peel is like pushing my skin’s reset button, and once my skin is back to where I want it, my facials help me maintain. Is it weird that I’m jealous of that? My first peel (years ago), that’s what happened, and it was so cool. That being said - if you’ve never had a peel and don’t use acids, you might wake up a few days later looking like you are a snake who shed its skin. Sometimes I don’t peel much at all, since I exfoliate with acids regularly, but the results are always there. After a peel, my skin feels a little tight on day two, and then another day or two later, I lightly peel as though recovering from a mild sunburn.

With that image in mind, I can completely understand why someone may question my love of them. Horrified by the state of her very painful looking skin, Carrie asks her to go home. Everyone remembers that episode of Sex and the City where Samantha Jones, at her doctor’s suggestion, gets a chemical peel right before Carrie’s fabulous book party and comes in wearing a veiled hat to cover her raw, red face. And I totally get it, because it sounds crazy. Whenever I talk about chemical peels, I get inundated with questions and quizzical looks.
