| Pros: | My medical insurance covered the cost of the peel. Had a salicylic peel at the dermatologist's office. |
| Cons: | Stinged a more longer in areas of my face. Left the office with SO much moisturizer that I looked completely greased up. |
| Bottom Line: | It brought to the surface all of the whiteheads and blackheads that were hiding. You look worse before you get better but it was mild enough that you can deal with it. I WILL get it done again esp since I only had to pay my co-pay for my medical insurance. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | Not quite sure yet, since it's only been three days. But my skin is soft to the touch where it's peeled and a few spots have lightened. |
| Cons: | Harsher than it's described. I wasn't told my face would stay red. I'm afraid it'll be worse than before. |
| Bottom Line: | I got a Vi Peel. After a few seconds, there is a numbing effect. About 30 minutes later it started to burn and burned for the rest of the night.
I had a big audition two days later. Part of my face was brown, part red and part peeling. I was told I could wear makeup. It looked weird so I started to peel the flaky areas. Big mistake. I hope I didn't ruin the results. The area wasn't ready yet and became super red and sensitive. I numbed the area and put on makeup. I hope I don't break out or scar now. I tried to remove all the makeup, but who knows. The peeled areas still hurt. I can't use the moisturizer they gave me because it burns. The sunscreen burns. Aloe burns. Water burns. If you get it done, be okay with looking weird for a week. It's a lot more potent than they make it out to be. |

| Pros: | Smoother skin and Reduced redness |
| Cons: | Flaky, Tightiness on the face and Embarrassing 3 or 4 days after the peel. |
| Bottom Line: | I started to have acne when I was 16 and it is just became part of my life. Proactive, Murad, AcneFree etc. they all did reduced my ance breakout but I never good the same clean face look and had some scars and red spots.
I tried this chemical V-treatment. And, its been only 6 days that I had my first peel and my old scards are fading away. I look much better with less scar and red spotted face. Few people have noticed it and commented on my skin. So I am feeling better. (
Hopefully, after my 2nd and 3rd peel. It will get better and better!. Just waiting to see clear smooth face. |

| Pros: | Skin Vitalize Peel...Smooth, baby soft skin. Acne and acne marks lessened |
| Cons: | Can be expensive but worth it if you buy the package |
| Bottom Line: | Everyone's skin will react differently to this peel. For me, this peel has saved me from hiding out in my house as I once did. I have much more confident. In my last year of college I broke out horribly and then a year later I heard about this I decided to give this a shot. It's been a year now since my first peel and it has made such a significant difference for me and my face. You have to have patience and give it shot. |

| Pros: | VI Peel
I had a VI Peel yesterday and today my face looks and feels sunburn. I'm told there is no discomfort but that's not true, so I put cortisone and lavendar cream on my face to soothe it, anything I can do to help it. It's also itchy. |
| Cons: | morning of 2nd day it feels worse. Itchy, more red, and feels sensitive and burned. I woke up swollen a little under my eyes mostly and puffy a little everywhere else. I'm sensitive to retin A but was told there isn't that much in this. |
| Bottom Line: | Not sure yet. Right now, maybe I wouldn't do it again. But we'll see in a few days, and I'll post back.

| Pros: | Vi Peel: Can't say just yet.... |
| Cons: | Vi Peel: It burned my face! Was it the esthetician at Skin Deep Htg Beach? I have 5 red blisters in different areas of my face, one is even swollen & puffy just under my eye. No one said I would look like a freak and couldn't leave the house! |
| Bottom Line: | The Vi Peel was MUCH more severe than (1) I could tell from their website or (2) was told by the esthetician. It is/was painful and it sure better turn out looking good in a few days! |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | Help moderate acne scars |
| Cons: | Burns |
| Bottom Line: | If you have common sense and can read instructions, you can do a glycolic or TCA without having to go anywhere. I have attended an Aethetics course that trains nurses in performing peels, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, botox, and so on. Everything they taught in the course about peels I already knew from doing them at my house for years. |

| Pros: | My skin looked good for about six days |
| Cons: | Scaring. |
| Bottom Line: | I am 55 years old and I have brown spots and crepe type wrinkling on my cheeks. I did a ton of research on chemical peels and had it done by a plastic surgeon. I had the 35% TCA chemical peel. After the peeling, on day six, it looked great. NOW, ten days later and three thousand dollars, I have what I think will be a scar on a large portion of my left cheek. The brown spots and wrinkles are coming back. On the upside, my face looks brighter because it did diminish the appearance of the light brown spots on my skin. Would I do it again? No. Now I have to deal with the scar on my face. Hopefully it will fade, but I didn't think I was going to spend $3,000.00 to have a scar on my face. Not worth it. |
