My skin tone is darker than yours and it turned a shade darker the first two days until everything peeled the third day. I thought the new skin looked great.. but I am still a shade darker after almost a week ! Not sure if this is permanent or if it just takes time for the normalcy to return. Do you still use a lot of moisturizer ? I have oily skin by default and now I look like a oil slick !! I am not a happy customer so far !! Wow.. your results are quite dramatic!

It might break you out, but your skin will take a couple of weeks to regulate itself following the peel in any case. Sunshine, leave your skin alone, and it will be fine. :) Don't fret! I'm willing to bet every girl who's had the Vi Peel has done the same thing you did, and tried to pick her skin off (I know that I did!). I promise, don't worry.

I had to go out of the house so I thought I would help get my face in better looking condition by picking at the peeling skin (obvious mistake). My skin is now REALLY red where I prematurely peeled and I am afraid I am going to scar. Is there anything I can do? Will the redness on the new skin go away? I already look like a red and brown painting... I had the VI Peel on Tuesday,and today, Friday, my skin started flaking/peeling like crazy.

Is it ok to put vaseline/petroleum jelly on the flaking skin whilst it's peeling -just as a lubricant? The reason I ask is that in the past Iv'e had C02 laser and vaseline worked brilliantly and didn't hinder (in fact helped) the healing process thanks I am interested in the Vi Peel, particularly the aftercare.

It didn't hurt at all except for the inital stinging. I got pretty red and dry. My chin started to peel first on the third day and then everything started to REALLY peel. I'm usually more of a flaker but I peeled sheets with this peel. My skin finsihed peeling yesterday and now it's just a little red and sensitive. Does anyone know when the redness will finally go away? I had my Vi peel on the 20th. It didn’t hurt at all except for the inital stinging. I got pretty red and dry.

I have sensitive, pale, freckled skin. Right now I look like I have a bad sunburn and my skin feels tight and a little itchy. Hope I start peeling soon, I don't like looking like a tomato, LOL. No pain no gain, right? I'll try to remember to check in and let everybody know what my results were. Thanks for the pics and descriptions, Nadine! I had the Vi peel yesterday.

I'm having one next week. I usually turn red, get itchy, peel on the lower part of my face and then I'm good to go. Did you pretty much have the same issues? I also noticed you had red patches in your before photo. I have the same type of thing. did the Vi peel get rid of your redness? Did your skin lighten? I know phenol can sometimes lighten skin a couple shades I’ve had lots of peels before but not the VI peel. I’m having one next week.

My skin was tight and uncomfortable the first night, and I experienced a TON of flaking and peeling in the days following the peel (as you can see in my gross You Tube videos!), but I didn't swell or become extra sensitive. I'd use caution if you have truly sensitive skin (i.e., can't use chemical sunscreens, cannot use exfoliants, have severe eczema or rosacea), but as long as you tell your technician and they use a light hand, you will likely be A-ok.
