A friend of mine said he began doing peels. He’s older than me, being in his 50s, but still looks great for his age. Decided to perform a search for chemical peels, coming across various reddit threads about the products from Makeup Artists Choice. This company is considered the best non-professional option you can find over the counter.
I’ve used the 40% lactic acid peel for two weeks now, and while the change isn’t dramatic yet, there is definitely a noticeable improvement in texture and tone.
For dramatic results, they say you need to use the peel for 8 weeks.
If you want even more dramatic results, the specialist I spoke to over the phone advised me to buy the 55% lactic acid peel. but, she cautioned me against using it before i finished the 40% bottle. she said that your skin needs to adjust to the 40% first or the 55% may cause irritation because of its strength.
the bottles aren’t large, so at around $30 - $50 a pop (depending on concentration), it’s pricey. but the results, so far, justify the expense.
