This post has been a long time coming! I was introduced to GlyDerm a few years back and quickly became a a huge fan. The entire line by GlyDerm is really effective at targeting fine lines and wrinkles as well as pigmentation issues. Of course, like everyone else, I’m always looking for a way to keep my skin looking young and fresh without having to go to drastic measures. I love the idea of mild surface peels that will not only remove the top layers of my skin, but with minimal downtime and without the harsh outcome of some more severe deep peels.
I was super excited when GlyDerm sent a series of peels to my esthetician for me to try (or for her to use on ME!) Well, I started the series of peels late last year and did a series of 5 peels, each a few weeks apart. The first peel applied was a 20% peel and it did not irritate my extremely sensitive skin at all. My skin actually just looked super fresh and revitalized. The peel was applied to my clean skin and left to sit for a few minutes before it was removed. I felt no stinging or discomfort whatsoever. As instructed by my esthetician, the peels are to be applied two weeks apart and were to be worked up to a higher concentration. Since I have super sensitive skin and my pigmentation was not super bad (I know the before pics below on the left make it look bad!) but we actually never went past 40%. Each time we did a peel, my dark spots lightened. I took extra care in keeping my skin well hydrated after each peel to prevent my skin from becoming reactive. The Gly Mist was super cooling and hydrating and left my skin looking like a million bucks!
I’ve been using the entire GlyDerm line of products in conjunction with the peels which I believe has been the perfect combination for such a great outcome. Now back to the peels… I didn’t experience any peeling until I reached the 40% concentration and even that was mild. Overall, I would suggest these peels to anyone that wants fresher, younger looking and more even skin tone. When skin is not properly cared for or exfoliated, it also prevents your skincare products from doing their job and penetrating the deeper layers. Just make sure you ALWAYS apply sunblock to prevent your pigmentation from coming back. Your skin is also more sensitive to the sun after a glycolic peel. With all that said, these peels are absolutely fabulous for giving you perfectly flawless skin. TRUST ME!
I would like to send a huge THANK YOU to the folks at GLYDERM for helping me keep my complexion looking picture perfect! I still have not met a GLYDERM product I didn’t LOVE!
