WORTH IT$13
As you can see it was a much more even peel, much less damage and areas of concentration are on the unwanted marks. Much better indeed!!

Thank you so much for sharing your process with me. I am biracial AA with a light complexion as well and have sensitive skin prone hyperpigmentation from my occasional acne. Since I scar and darken so easily from blemishes I was scared to try a peel that might "burn" the skin, but I really want to even out my skin tone and tighten and refine pores. Thanks to you sharing your journey (and backing it up with photos) I felt more confident to give it a try, and thank God you shared about the baking soda, I really needed it. I just finished my first 30% glycolic acid peel!! I kept it on for 10 minutes, then my chin started turning red, I neutralized it with water and baking soda, patted dry, slathered on Emu oil, carrot seed oil and rose hip( I've been using it for scarring and its working!) And a blend of jojoba, Roman chamomile, German chamomile(the blue oil with high azulene content) and geranium, reduces inflammation for almost anything is balancing for skin while moisturizing, no clogging pores either. Redness went away in 15 minutes, if my skin experiences any miracles or really solid, noticeable results I will update. I used Perfect Image 30% glycolic peel, I had been using their Papaya/pineapple enzyme so I was ready to tolerate some discomfort. Thank you so much for sharing you for sharing your skin obsession with us! Please continue to update and let us know if you find ANYTHING good for removing dark spots or evening and brightening skin tone. The carrot seed and townships are working on a new dark blemish, I don't know if it can help with older ones. :)

I am doing a 40% peel too :) I don't leave mine on as long, but I agree it really burns for the first few minutes. Make sure you neutralize with the Baking Soda wash for aprox 1-2 minutes to ensure is fully rinsed off. Keep us posted, your results look great so far!
