GETTING STARTED
Use the Daily Exfoliator each day for 1 week. If your skin is not red, irritated or peeling, you can begin applying the Skin Peel once every 2-3 weeks. After applying the Skin Peel, wait until all redness and/or peeling has stopped, apx. 4-7 days, and then resume your use of the Daily Exfoliator.

APPLYING THE DAILY EXFOLIATOR

For daily use when skin is not red, peeling or irritated.

1. Cleanse, rinse and dry skin.

2. Apply a few drops of Daily Exfoliator to gauze pad and buff skin gently in a circular motion.

3. After 1-2 minutes rinse skin with water & pat dry

4. Apply Peel RX Oil-Free Moisturizer or Hyaluronic Moisturizer.

PRE-PEEL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prior to your peel: Avoid facials, waxing and electrolysis. Do not apply any makeup or perfume.

2. If you are pregnant or currently using any prescription skin care products check with your doctor before performing a peel.

3. For 24 hours before and after performing a peel cease using any non-Peel RX cleansers, moisturizers, exfoliators, sun protection products & other skin care products.

4. Two days before performing a peel conduct a patch test: First: Prepare a Neutralizing Solution (SEE #1 BELOW). Apply to clean skin a small amount of the Peeling

Solution to a dime-sized area of the face. Wait 30 seconds, then rinse off with cold water. If skin is excessively irritated use Neutralizing Solution. Observe results for the next 5 days. Mild to moderate redness or stinging is normal. Excessive redness, stinging, burning, blistering or other severe reaction may indicate that a lower peel strength is needed to build tolerance.

APPLYING THE SKIN PEEL SOLUTIONS

DO NOT APPLY PEEL MORE FREQUENTLY THAN EVERY 2 WEEKS

NOTE: During the peel you may experience mild to moderate burning or stinging. This is normal and means that the peel is working. CAUTION: If at any time you feel uncomfortable or the skin reacts with excessive redness or stinging the solution should be washed off immediately with repeated splashes of cold water and/or the neutralizing solution (see below). AVOID SUN EXPOSURE after performing a peel for 7 days.

1. PREPARE A NEUTRALIZING SOLUTION: Combine 2 tbsp of household baking soda with

1 cup of tepid water in a small bowl. This solution can be used to deactivate the peel while it is on the skin. If you experience severe discomfort while performing the peel simply splash the neutralizing solution on to the skin to quickly stop the peeling process. Keep this solution near you at all times while performing the peel. Only use if necessary. You may also fan the skin with a handheld fan to alleviate minor discomfort.

2. Remove makeup and wash face with a mild cleanser, such as Peel RX Ultra-Pure & Gentle Cleanser.

3. Peel RX peel products are designed for those experienced with skin peeling treatments. If you have limited experience with peels or if you are unsure of your tolerance level we recommend using one of the lower strength peels and initially leave the peel on for not more than 20-30 seconds.

4. Shake Peel bottle well. Apply 1-2 ml of peel solution to a gauze pad and apply to the face using a mild rubbing action. Avoid eye areas, lips, and insides of nostrils. Continue gently buffing for 30- 90 seconds. (During Salicylic Peel application often a frosting of the skin will occur - this is a good indication the peel is working and care should be taken to rinse skin with water so as not to leave the peel on the skin for too long).

5. Initially at this stage, rinse with cold water or the neutralizing solution if necessary . As tolerance increases, peel may be left on for longer periods, up to 2-3 minutes.

6. Gently pat dry with a clean cotton or paper towel. Do not rub skin with the towel.

7. Apply Peel RX Oil-Free Moisturizer or Hyaluronic Moisturizer to soothe and nourish your new skin. Avoid sun light and apply Sun Protection.

AFTER THE PEEL

For 7-12 days after the peel, clean the skin with warm water using a mild liquid cleanser (Green Tea Cleanser). Use fingertips (not a wash cloth) since the skin is very sensitive at this time. Avoid the use of abrasive or exfoliating sponges. After cleansing, pat dry with a clean towel, and then apply ointment to keep the exfoliating skin soft and the new skin protected. Avoid sun exposure-this includes tanning beds. Sunlight on the skin after a peel can cause brown discoloration of the new skin. A sunscreen of SPF 25 or higher should be applied every morning before going outdoors. For a minimum of one month after the peel procedure client shuld not have hair removed by any technique for a minimum of 1 month. Make up application can be resumed 5-7 days after the peel providing there is no presence of redness, irritation, tenderness or crusting of the skin.

• Immediately after the peel the skin may be red and blotchy, slightly raised, tight and shiny, and/ or feel sensitive. These are all normal reactions to the peel, and symptoms should subside in a few hours or within 1-2 days in some cases.

CAUTION: During this time following a peel, take care not to pick or irritate the skin. Apply cold water and Peel RX Hyaluronic Moisturizer or Oil-Free Moisturizer as needed.

• In the week following the peel you may experience mild flaking and/or redness, similar to a slight sunburn and irritation in the form of small blemishes where the peel deeply penetrated the pores. These reactions are normal and will subside with each subsequent peel. Apply Peel RX Hyaluronic Moisturizer or Oil-Free Moisturizer 2-3 times a day as needed.

• Following a peel, take care to wash and dry skin gently. Avoid sun exposure and use Sun Protection.

Seven days following the peel you may resume using the Daily Exfoliator, provided that all residual redness and peeling has subsided.

Reviewer: Martha Ackerman from Los Angeles, CA  
Glycolic at 40% is great because it not too much of a peel yet is not too litte. I use it to keep that peeling downtime low but still look 10 years younger
