Which Acid Should I Choose? | Peels | TCA | Jessners | Salicylic | Glycolic | Mandelic | Lactic

There are so many acids out there that it can be tough choosing which one you should be using on your skin. Well, rest assured that even if you chose the “wrong” one, it will still most likely help you with your issues - because really, acids all perform the same task - dissolving the bonds that hold the dead skin to your face.
**I want to mention something here regarding the Fitzpatrick Skin Typing. This is in regards to what color skin you have, how you burn, or freckle in the sun. If you have type 4, 5 or 6
**these are the medium to darker skin types **
then you will almost ALWAYS want to prepare your skin with a melanin inhibitor before applying a higher percentage or a stronger acid. If you are unsure - error on the side of caution. A melanin inhibitor such as our Fade Bright should be applied for at least 2 weeks prior to a peel.
This will help to dramatically lessen the chances that you could get Post inflammatory hyper pigmentation after a peel. ***
Now, let's find out which acid is the best one for your issues.
We can target:
Acne
Fine lines
Deeper lines
Scarring
Hyperpigmentation
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

[@debbi189]

I absolutely love your content. It's very informative, precise and easy to follow. Unfortunately being in South Africa, we don't have access to your products and have to do with alternatives. The range of acid peels available to buy is very limited, unless if you go to ridiculously overpriced clinics for treatments. Jessners are hard, if not impossible to find. The rest are sold at ridiculously low % (e.g. -TCA 4% and 6%) yet very pricey. Highest Lactic you can get is 40% and salicylic is 30%. On the other hand, you find different % for same quantity of the same peel going for the same price (e.g. 10ml of Lactic 20% is same as 10ml for 40%)🤣! Like, its so ridiculous, I don't even think anyone knows what they are doing!

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Well, that can certainly happen. Saliyclic 30% would be VERY strong. The 4 and 6% TCA... yes very low and would require probably about 5-8 layers to get a good peel on the face. We are glad that you found us.

Very informative video! I've struggled with malasma and hyperpigmentation for years and have decided 2020 is when I need to do something about it. I'm approaching my mid 30s with sensitive, dry skin and prone to monthly hormonal breakouts which always leave a scar. I'm currently using the ordinary lactic acid 10% with HA 3x per week. I suspect I may need something stronger but I'm super nervous! I use spf 40 sunscreen. I'm at a loss with my skin. Any Suggestions?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

10% lactic is pretty mild. I would suggest starting up with a weekly 50% Lactic peel. Then Fade Bright (or hydroquinone) 2x per day along with SPF 50. Retinoids at night will help the turnover as well. Consider something like our .20% Retinol Molecular Serum.

I want to apply to full legs and elbows for KP....and would like to know which acid to purchase for hands and feet?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

We love the Lactic 50 for KP. It is a more hydrating acid - so it doesn't add to the extreme dryness. As a daily product we recommend our Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion. That has acids to exfoliate and is extremely hydrating - both of what you need for KP. www.platinumskincare.com/triple-treat-body-lotion/

Hello- I’ve been watching you for sooo long and I just realized that one of my new fave you tubers recommends your products. (Literally just put 2+2 together. So it got me excited). That said, I’m 38 years old and I have Dermal Melasma. I also have acne scarring that was brought on with age. (I always had beautiful skin). Aside from the Melasma and scarring, I’d like to use a peel that will address or help fight fine lines & wrinkles. Also minimize pore size if possible. I know this is a pretty tall order. So my question is this: Should I start with the TCA 13% or are their other products you’d recommend? I’ve never done a peel before. But my skin isn’t super sensitive. Thank you in advance and thank you for always explaining things in laymen’s terms. Love that about you. 💕 Should I start

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Oh really? Wonderful to hear that!! Yes... retinol is the KEY for pores. IPL will help as well. You can see the video we have on pores for more information on that. www.platinumskincare.com/what-can-i-do-to-shrink-my-pores-1/ TCA 13 would be perfect for those lines and even melasma. Use Fade Bright 2x per day and also take a quick read on this page here for internal suggestions on melasma: www.platinumskincare.com/blog/face-mapping-to-solve-skin-issues/

[@JW-bh2ud]

This was an EXCELLENT video...I should have come here first prior to the 50 other videos I watched, lol. In your opinion, could I possibly get similar results to fraxel laser (but for Much less and more time)?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

I think there is a place for ALL of those amazing goodies out there. Needling, peels, lasers... Peels of course are my favorites.. with professional needling and PRF being a 2nd favorite. If you want to jump to TCA... then there are REALLY some positive changes that can be had - guaranteed. TCA has been proven in studies to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. So that is the #1 I recommend for anti-aging. For hanging skin.. or excess skin? That is surgery all the way. Nothing can fix loose skin other than a scalpel.

[@clboymom9467]

Honestly, if I’m going to have to go through down time with peeling and flaking, I might as well do the deepest TCA.

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Oh... that is not true at all. Don't think for one minute that if you do ONE higher percentage TCA peel you are going to have all of your skin problems solved. Peels don't work that way. No matter what you choose - it is going to be a series of 6-8 peels. TCA is great! But start with the 13% at 1-2 layers and work up to 5 layers* maybe... and then go from there.

[@AMBD90]

I have a question jennifer. I am black and have acne scarring on my back and shoulder. I prepped my skin with fade bright and melanin inhibitor for six weeks. I also washed my skin with soap and water and then cleaned it with alcohol. I did not spot treat, I applied the skin peel 50 percent on my right deltoid (shoulder area). I waited a few days and saw no frosting and no peeling. I felt a slight tingling/warming sensation when I applied but just the area closest to the arm pit got dry and flaked a little. No peeling. Did I do something wrong? What would you recommend?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Hello. You applied a 50% what? Glycolic? TCA? We do not manufacture a 50% TCA... so I can not help you with that. What is normal though on the body... is a peel taking 30 days to exfoliate. Don't expect to see anything for a good 10-14 days.

[@anneb6262]

Hi! This video was very informative and I'm so glad I found this company. I want to do a chemical peel on my feet to reduce wrinkles and soften my feet and my knees to remove hyperpigmentation and even out my skin. I was thinking of using the 20% TCA since I have Type 5 skin type. What are your suggestions? What's a good pairing with TCA? The vitamin A peel or the fusion A luminosity method?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Caution with darker skin types. I suggest Fade Bright and Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion as a daily treatment. After 4 weeks, if you wish to do a peel, then the TCA 20% is an option. See here: www.platinumskincare.com/body-peels-which-acid-what-percentage-fitzpatrick/

Jessners has been more intense than 20% TCA for me. It also stung more. Not a bad thing, but just noting that we're all a little different.

Hi again Jen, If you still have rough dry skin hanging on at around the 1 week mark afyer this peel but everything else feels back to normal, can you start back on your tretinoin or should you wait until the skin is 100% back to normal? Thank you xx

Treatments for Sebaceous hyperplasia: Carbon dioxide laser, Excision, TCA. I would suggest the TCA 20% at 2-3 layers on the exact area. You can use a Qtip or our Wooden picks if they are very very small. www.platinumskincare.com/cotton-tipped-wood-picks/

[@funtimefranky]

Hello and thank you for your videos. A few years ago I used the Obagi system for about a week. I did this on two separate occasions. I have thin skin on my forehead and although there are no deep wrinkles I have plenty of small fine lines. I was concerned these treatments were making my already thin skin even thinner. I did wear an SPF 50 but I still developed dark patches on my forehead and also my cheek bones around the eye area and now the side of my face by my temples looks crepey. I’m nearly 49 and I never had these patches before. I should mention, I am mixed race black Caribbean and white English. I recently found an inexpensive glycolic serum which is only 4% in strength, I’ve been using it night and day and I have to say my skin looks brighter after only 1 week of use. I’m interested in trying your products but am not sure where to start, I don’t want to damage skin that is already thin but would like to combat the signs of ageing. What would you recommend? Do these peels make thin skin thicker? Thanks for a great video and any help in advance.

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

We generally recommend the Retinol .20% for evening use. It will help to thin the DEAD buildup of skin and will also help to stimulate collagen in the deeper layers. This is good for smoothing the look of lines. www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/ We have a nice 10% Acid cleanser called our Revitalizing Cleanser here: www.platinumskincare.com/revitalizing-glycolic-cleanser-10/ that will help to gently exfoliate daily. And, to target pigmentation, apply the Fade Bright 2x per day to clean skin *prior to any other serums, creams or oils. This will help to turn down the melanin production in your skin and help to fade back that sun damage that has made its way to the surface of your face. www.platinumskincare.com/fade-bright-lightening/

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

If you are dealing with acne: Salicylic 15% is a great place to start. Mandelic 40% would be another option that is a bit less "harsh". These are each a peel you can do 1x every 7-10 days. ... So about 3-4x per month. A stronger option would be Jessners. That can be applied 1x per month and is layerable.

[@tomato4486]

my inner thighs have hyperpigmentation, i’m light skinned but i’m greek and italian, so my skin does get dark. which one would you recommend to get rid of the hyperpigmentation?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

#1 SPF every single day of at least 40-50 if clothing isn't covering the area.

I am a Fitzpatrick 5. I am using tazorac plus differin combination for now, when should I stop using these products before I initiate a superficial acid? A superficial peel could turn into a deeper peel otherwise? Thank you. Enjoyed the clear explanations.

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

If they sensitize your skin, then make sure to stop about 5 days prior to applying any peels. If they don't affect your skin then you can use them up to the day prior. I generally only stop maybe the night before. We are all different though.

*I have really bad hyperpigmentation mainly on my cheek and neck from ingrown hairs and unfortunately picking at them to get the hairs out.. anyways I have been working on my skin but it has taken me years of research to figure out that spf 50 + glycolic acid + bio oil are my god sends. They have actually helped me tremendously in lightening my marks but I’m not satisfied and I want my face back. What peels would you recommend as I have sensitive skin but I want these marks gone .. new decade new face .. thanks in advance for your help /suggestions.*

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

¥oshi Xo hello. I recommend Fade Bright 2x per day then your bio oil and spf. Evenings Retinol .20 molecular serum. Either continue on with your glycolic peels (30% or move up to 50%) and keep going. It takes time to reverse damages. That’s perfectly normal. Do at least 8 peels at 1x every 2 weeks. If you want to alternate acids, Lactic 50 is another one that is great with pigmentation issues.

[@YoshiXO]

Platinum Skin Care thank you ! I will try this and see what happens . Peace and blessings

Due to years of playing basketball in the sun my skin has really darkened and I never really paid attention to it but it’s gotten to a point where it seems like you’re looking at two different person’s skin. I would say that based on the scale my face and neck are about a 5 but the rest of my body ( my natural, untanned skin tone is about a 3). I really want to get back my natural skin tone on my face and neck, is this possible, and what would the most effective and quickest solution? Thank you!

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Gurmohit Singh I would suggest Fade Bright 2x per day. Retinol .20 molecular serum evenings and spf 50 every day. A chemical peel could be very helpful. Lactic 50 would be a great place to start.

Hi there! I would like to know if fade bright is safe to use when pregnant. I know hydroquinone is a no no, is this one if the ingrediens? Also, is any chemical peel safe while pregnant? I've Googled this and found conflicting info. I have used 3 of my tca bottles and didn't want to proceed unless safe. Please note I am using on my body (dark spots on legs) not my face. Thank you!

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Who Said That?! Hello there. We have a video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmKrnoilbt5jhK8 Fade Bright = yes! Tca = no. Glycolic, lactic and Mandelic peels are all fine.

Hello, I have a hyperpigmentation mustache I think It came from waxing and damage to the to the skin. I have used acids like kojic and azleic at once and it was and immediately fading but there’s still a grey dark mark above the lip on my brown skin which treatment should I use?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

PIH is common with any form of trauma to the skin. You should begin using a melanin inhibitor and a retinol every day. Fade Bright or hydroquinone will be excellent choices. Retinol .20 at night and of course, SPF 50 every day you head out. If you want to add a peel to this, I suggest the Mandelic 40 1x a week for 6-8 weeks.

Thank you so much for the detailed information.. if possible post peeling how we need to take care of the skin? Please make a video on this..also educate us on can we use retinol,or other activities in daily skin care daily routine post peeling ? Or we should not use active ingredients in post peeling day or night skin care routine?? If we can use means how many days post peeling we can start skincare routine day or night routine with activities (milder % like lactic 10%,retinol 2%, glycolic/mandelic less than 10%..

How do you do the Jessner with Retin A peel. Does the Jessner stay on for hours as well?

Since I have been using a different melanin inhibitor twice daily plus retinol at night, for 5 months, can I start the TCA peel series right away? Or is it necessary to specifically use the Fade Bright for peel prep?

Hello. Absolutely you can. It doesn't have to be ours. :) Alpha Arbutin and Hydroquinone are both equally great.

[@daciasdiy1861]

I’ve been doing peels for yrs , never heard of a Mel it in inhibitor . Luckily I’ve never experienced any side effects

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

A melain inhibitor is generally only needed on those with ethnic skin tones. Most with very white skin have quite a low chance of getting PIH *though they still can. Now that being said there are many that have had good luck in NOT getting PIH... but that is really just that... "luck". And never forget that you can do 50 peels in a row that go great...but that next one might be different. It is always easier to prep properly than to deal with a negative outcome.

I am a new subscriber here. And its my first time to try a peel. Where do i start? I’m turning 50 this March.

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Give the video a watch. Start with a milder acid such as mandelic 40 or glycolic 30.

[@galtablet1252]

Hi thanks for all the knowledge sharing. I’m going to do the peel and it will be my first time. Skin type : dry. Purpose : skin whitening. My skin has little freckles with no other problems. So, I shall start with TCA or glycolic? thanks again for reading.

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

To help brighten the skin tone and lighten pigmentation we recommend a few acids. Mandelic 40 or Lactic 50 are both mild and will have just dryness and maybe some baby flakes. Jessners is a stronger option that is layerable and will have quite a good amount of flakes. Use Fade Bright Daily, Retinol .20 at night and NEVER forget the SPF 50.

Hi, I have rosacea, small patches on my skin, but I think they are nota inflammed. Also I tend to have small broken cappilaries, around the nose and cheeks. I use mandelic low percentage but I would like to use a stronger acid. I'm 42. Wich one would you recomend? Thank you in advance! 🙏

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

You could try moving up to the Mandelic 40. We usually recommend the Mandelic 22 for clients with rosacea. However, if you feel your skin is tolerating the Mandelic 22 well, then you should be ok moving up to the 40%. :)

[@mahathi13]

Hi, do you have alternatives to the skin medica peels- illuminize, vitalist and revjuvinize? Asking because I got them done at doctors office andi know they suit my skin type. I am looking for at home alternatives. Thanks!

[@mickeyxoxo5363]

Omg! Im a dark skin AA woman, used a 40% glycolic peel on my face (2nd time) yesterday and it left me with little dark burn marks around my mouth! I left the peel on for exactly 3 minutes. Is this normal? The rest of my face is fine.

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Hmmmm. Glycolic can sometimes cause irritations like that. Are you using other products that would make you more sensitive? Retinoids, acid serums?? Medications?? YOu may need to space out your peels more to give your skin a break -- or have them switch to a milder acid so you don't deal with that.

[@CaptainAbmerica]

Isnt 4% Hydroquinone the most allowed in America? How can this product have almost twice that? (Jessners)

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Cameron Dean this is a peel - not a leave-on product. The actual ingredient is Resorcinol. But, if you look into that you find it is made of hydroquinone.

[@rebeccasharpe2432]

I’m still lost on what I should choose. I have dry skin. I’m 29 and looking to start some anti-aging treatments and wanting to get fine line improvement from my peel, however I have a lot of congestion (no active pustules, just white and black heads). My job is flexible enough that I can have some downtime for peeling. I’ve had a few peels done over the years. Please and thank you for advice!

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

I would say that a nice beginner at-home peel - that is good for congested pores is our Mandelic 40. You could do that about 1x every 10-14 days. If you want more flaking, the TCA 13% is your best option. Start with 1 layer and work your way up. ***For the congestion - start using Retinol .20% every evening. That will help most of all. ... and its excellent to prepare for peels ... and its great for fine lines.

Azelaic acid is excellent for pigmentation issues. You can apply this peel 1 x per week. We recommend a series of 8 weekly peels for optimal results. www.platinumskincare.com/mandelic-peel-22-40/

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Keloid scars should never be treated. If this is truly a hypertrophic scar... then any of the acids could be helpful. TCA is the gold standard. If you have depressed scars from acne - the TCA CROSS is the best www.platinumskincare.com/tca-cross-method-detailed-demonstration/

[@robingriffin42]

Which chemical peel would be best for the bikini line? I have darkening from ingrown hair. I'm a light-skinned black person

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

I would suggest the Saliyclic 15% for ingrown hairs. It is an antiinflammatory acid and it will dig into the pores to help. Leave that on for about 5+ minutes and rinse. Wash with an acid cleanser in the shower daily to help keep the dead skin to a minimum.

[@rominahevia3629]

Hope you can reply, I have been looking forward to purchasing the tca 20% peeling. However, since I am from Chile, I would like to know if there is any chance the delivery get rejected. Do I need a prescription? Thanks in advance

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Hello. #1. Please do NOT start with a TCA 20%. Prep your skin with a melanin inhibitor like our Fade Bright or a hydroquinone product for 2-3 weeks. Then, begin with 1 to 2 layers of TCA 13 instead. ... No, a prescription is not required. We do not know Chile's importing process though - so please research that prior to ordering. Some countries require a business to get skin care products ... or other issues.

[@luciabrazil2705]

Thank you . Which one you suggest for my legs ?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

We recommend TCA 30 if you have a light skin tone. Medium to darker skin tones should use TCA 20 and also will need to pretreat with Fade Bright for 2 weeks prior to using the TCA Peel.

[@lbfaith]

I’m a mail carrier so I’m in the sun a lot. I’m fair-ish skinned. I’ve started getting more wrinkles since having this job. In my early 30s. I’ve started wearing a hat 3 years ago bc I started getting ‘squinting’ lines also I now have forehead wrinkles. Which would you recommend? And what would you recommend for wrinkle on the stomach?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Ah yes. Constant sun exposure will age you. SPF 50+ for you and that big hat. Large glasses will help too. I suggest the Retinol .20 every night and Regenerate EGF 1-2x per day. High Octane Vitamin C will also be very helpful. Add a smear of that each morning with your favorite serums or our Nano Hyaluronic. Peels for the future: TCA 13.

[@artiste247]

Is there any benefit to alternate lactic peel and mandelic peel on a weekly basis for the 6 to 8 sessions? After that would I then do the TCA at 13% starting with one layer and then the next session 2 layers how long would I need between these sessions?

[@PlatinumSkinCare]

Yes, if your skin is on the dry side. Yes, Lactic can leave the skin feeling a bit more moisturized than mandelic post peel. Both are great peels. You can certainly move up to TCA 13 after your series. Yes, start with TCA 13, 1-2 layers...you can do your next peel in about 2-3 weeks depending on how your skin reacts. If you are applying more layers.....ie. 3-4 layers....a good rule of thumb is to space the peels out by 1 month.
