TCA & Jessner Peels on Ethnic | Olive | Darker Skin | Preparation | Percentages | After Care | Body

- Today I want to elaborate for a few minutes about TCA (& Jessners) peels on those with medium (olive +) to darker skin types. If you have a more melanin-rich skin tone, and are wondering if TCA is for you, relax … yes it is. All skin types can safely use TCA with proper skin conditioning.
You are here because you are wanting to try a TCA peel. So, first let’s figure out what your Fitzpatrick skin type is.
The Fitzpatrick Skin typing is a detailed classification that gives indications as to how a certain skin type will react to various treatment conditions.
Skin color, unaltered eye and hair color, ethnic origins, and response to UV light are all examined. Based on these findings, we end up with six different Fitzpatrick types that begin with very fair skin and graduate to very dark skin.
What we have found is that no matter how much melanin is in the skin, if you fall into types 4, 5 or 6, you will need special skin conditioning when you are looking to perform chemical peels to help avoid complications.
To simplify this, if your heritage is Mediterranean, Asian, Latino, Indian, Native American, African or any range that is not very light, you will need to pretreat your skin.

"melanin rich skin tone" I absolutely love how respectful she is in her description of our skin tone. I went to a dermatologist office where the patient care specialist called my skin black and I was totally offended and I just figured she didn't know any better. Thank you for being sensitive to your customers who grace your business.
Thank you so much! You have beautiful skin in your photo. Enjoy it. :)
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thanks to PSC!
@Zahid Zabidi Good for you.
But it is black...?
@@mamabearblue3667 No it is not.
Everyone especially African American women should view this video prior to having a chemical peel. African American women are investing in skin and health care like never before.
We have discussions on Social Media and in public forums.. We have a desire to delve into cosmetic procedures but are nervous due to our ethenic skin..
This video was very insightful and answers questions we need answered regarding chemical peels.
T. J. Thank you so much. We are so glad this was helpful for you. We hate to see people damaging their skin because no one is making this known.
@D Definitely. Just shop on our website. You will get exact shipping options at checkout based on your address and country.

Thank you for combining all of the scattered information that was floating around the internet into a clear, concise, ESSENTIAL video!
We DON’T have to burn our faces off anymore!🙏🏾
Belle Bonnebranche you are SO welcome! We take PIH very seriously and want all skin types to get excellent results from peels.
I live in a small town and a dermatologist told me he wouldn’t give me a peel for my malesma because I am latina. He said I would end up with more hyperpigmentation and make things worse and those peels only worked on light skin. Didn’t offer any solutions outside of hydroquinone which sadly has not worked for me 😢
So excited to try this!!
Those with fitzpatrick 4-6 have a higher chance of getting PIH and therefore have to 1. Prep with a melanin inhibitor longer (4 weeks) 2. Choose a milder acid. 3. Chose a lower percentage. Then work up from there as your skin tolerates.
I just love her soothing voice! It makes me relaxed before a peel😁
Thank you!!! I sincerely appreciate that.
I agree. a doctor called my skin "colored " and talked as if something was wrong with having darker skin. n said there's no treatment unless I had fair skin and only suggested vitamin e. smh..
thank you !!❤
We have options for all skin types and colors. Just be sure to follow our Fade Bright pretreatment instructions.
I would have walked out
Been trying to peel my legs for months to no avail. I am an African woman and finding out my legs are getting uneven with hyperpigmentation and my products are not working on that area. Glad I found this video.
Excellent. Proper pre treatment is so important.
This is the best skincare channel ever ❤
Thank you, we appreciate your feedback!
You are so beautiful, kind and intelligent. Plus you have my skin goals. ❤️
Meighan Rose thank you so much! I’m so glad that we can help you.
I wish I had watched this before I tried a TCA peel a few months ago. I got PIH on my chin and I was really upset afterwards. I will definitely try your products and regimen outlined here!
We are glad that you did finally find it though! Basically, dark skin is just primed for PIH. You really have to aggressively treat it to help avoid it. You can treat your PIH with Salicylic acid - that works well, and also the Fade Bright 2x per day.
@@PlatinumSkinCare I will be making my purchase this week. Thank you!!!!
@@kathleenjohnson7047 Excellent. I hope that everything works perfectly for you.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Do you wash your face the next morning or wait a couple days and just continue to add the fade bright and emu oil 2x daily?
@@artiesha42 You can wash your face immediately after the peel if you wish. Then yes, everyday wash and reapply your products.

John Blaine so glad to help.
Do you have a PDF with all the required products, and step by step instructions? I'm feeling overwhelmed with the products and options. Do you offer a whole package for olive skin type where everything needed and instructions are in one package?
We do offer a pigmentation kit if you are opting to do lighter weekly peels. See below link
www.platinumskincare.com/pigmentation-kit/
For darker skin types......Fade Bright is a must. Pre treat with your skin 1-2 x per day daily with Fade Bright for 2-3 weeks prior to applying TCA or Jessner. You will also want a nice exfoliating cleanser to use to prepare the skin as well. I recommend or Revitalizing Glycolic Cleanser. Post peel you will need Emu or Healing Oil. I also recommend Luminosity post peel. Use the Luminosity 1x per day for 3-5 days until your skin starts to peel or flake.
How many ml should we use per chem peel? 🤔
The 5ml vial should give you about 2-3 layers.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you!

Hello, I am a hispanic female and wanted to do a chemical peel for my underarm, what percentage of TCA should I use ? And do have any special “deodorant” for after peels?
Please see this video: www.platinumskincare.com/intimate-area-peels-vaginal-anal-underarms-inner-thighs/ I always use a natural deodorant, but I think any would be fine. I like the Native one? Lots of great scents.
As always, thanks for the great info!
Thank you for watching. ;)
Best channel to get educated on peels(obv subscribed) ... You are so gorgeous
My issue is Benzoyl peroxide ruined my skin layer.... Made it dry and wrinkly with pores...stopped using it had been 3 weeks still the condition persists..... Is chemical peel ideal for my condition... What peel do you suggest... Really hoping you can give me a solution😔
Benzoyl peroxide is just liquid oxygen. Peroxide = oxygen. Benzoyl pushes it deep into the pores so the oxygen can reach the P-acnes bacteria and destroy it. It can potentially be drying... but that will go away when you stop usage. I would concentrate on hydrating the skin. AB Cleanser + Vitamin B Complex + Nano Hyaluronic. This will exfoliate, clean out pores, help reduce acne, and deeply hydrate the skin.

OMG! So happy to have found this product! Is it possible to use makeup the following day? What is the downtime for the peel?
Chanel Zhang you can generally use makeup without any issues the first couple days. When the skin starts flaking though -- aim for just a tinted spf instead. ua-cam.com/video/3OL4PXeSHjQ/v-deo.html
Thanks so much for sharing this valuable information. Blessings.
You are very welcome! We are glad it was helpful for you.
This is so educational.
Excellent! We are glad you are watching and learning along with us. :)
Great video! Can I do lactic acid peels between tca peels? If so, how much time between each peel type?
Hello. No. You can never "sneak in" a peel during your downtime/waiting time to do your next tca peel.
RULE - Always follow the recommendations of the LAST peel you applied.
If the last peel you applied was a TCA *with a 4 week wait = then you wait 4 weeks before applying ANY peels.
If the last peel you applied was an AHA (glycolic/mandelic...) with a 1 week wait = then you wait 1 week before applying ANY peels.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Thanks for the reply!
Thanks🥰 for thinking of us ❤️ the luminosity cream really made me peel quicker, I highly recommend it to anyone ! I’ve just done a tca peel ( 20%) it’s day 6 today and I’m almost done flacking ...now I’d love to understand better about your products : 7% GHK-CU accelerant and your copper serums please ?
Sure. The copper products are excellent for tissue regeneration. This is most helpful if you are dealing with scarring or aging issues. They can be applied 1 time per day. The GHK products are first generation and you need to NOT apply them with acids or vitamin C. The latter, second generation (CP Serum,. Super CP Serum and SuperCop 2x) can be applied with any acid products without risk to the product.
Excellent video. What do you mean by “layers”. For example, you say you “can apply one or two layers”. Do you mean you can go over your skin with a swab (with TCA) one or two times!
Yes, TCA is always applied in layers to increase the depth of the acid. Watch our TCA videos to learn more: www.platinumskincare.com/understanding-tca/ www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peel-application-detailed-faq-aftercare/ www.platinumskincare.com/after-tca-peel/
I really wanna use this. But I have to save up due to the upcoming pandemic.
Ok. Wash your hands. :)
I purchased the TCA, fade, and retinol through the company website. It doesn't come in the packaging as it shows in the video but rather in individual items with no instructions:(
We have updated our packaging over the years. If a video is a few years old .. the look may have changed. *Retinol Molecular Serum has been UPDATED to add in the Retinaldehyde and Granactive. Is is now called Fusion A.
Each item has its own instructions. What are you wanting to know exactly? Fade Bright can be used 2x per day to help lighten pigmentation and to help prep for peels if you have darker skin. This IS on the label and box of the FB product.
Fusion A is an evening product. Start with the .15 at about 3x per week. Then add on days as your skin acclimates.
TCA is 1x per month. TCA demo video here: www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peel-application-detailed-faq-aftercare/
Ima a 5 on the fits scale with here and there PiH and I’m trying to figure out what which to order and for dark knees
Hello. I would first be using a melanin inhibitor (like our Fade Bright0 with alpha arbutin or hydroquinone every day 1-2x. Also an exfoliating serum or cream to help turn that skin over gently. Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion can help with that. .. After a few weeks of prep - if you want to do a peel, the Jessners is highly recommended for hyperpigmentation on the face and body. That can be done 1x a month *as the skin takes about 10-14 days to start drying and flaking. ... then it will go on another couple of weeks. You may do another peel after the 30 day mark. Use your melanin inhibitors during the downtime.
What about the suggested recommendation for glycolic acid peel percentage for the body and face?
I would use a lower % for darker skin types. Always start low (30%) and work up.
Can you pliz help me with what to use to brighten my knees and knuckles
Hello. 1. SPF 50+ every single day ... and REapply. 2. Fade Bright or another melanin inhibitor every day to help "turn down" the melanin production in the skin. 3. Peels can be used.. but gentler is usually better on darker skin tones. I would suggest something like Lactic 50 which could be done 1x every 2 weeks... or jessners which can be done 1x a month and is layerable.
I have been binge watching your videos - they are so informative. I live in the UK and cannot find a reliable TCA stockist, so will definitely be ordering from your website. I have one deep ice pick scar on the tip of my nose which has knocked my confidence for a few years now. I finally need to do something about it. Can you tell me which TCA percentage I should use for the TCA cross method? For reference, my skin colour is between a MAC NC44-45. Thanks so much x
Shaela Ismail you have a medium skin tone so I suggest pretreating with Fade Bright for at least 2 weeks. Then I suggest the 30% - but keep in mind that can darken for awhile (weeks on some people - which is why the pretreating is so necessary and after the peel). The 20% is another option that you could apply multiple layers to get deeper. It will be less likely to darken so much.
I have been using resurfacing Cera Ve retinol which faded my spots just a little for about two weeks(3 times) in each two weeks, no fade bright and I have stopped using the retinol for about two days now... I have dark spots from scaring that has been there for a while... and I use Cera Ve cleansing liquid soap everyday.. which has hylaronic acid in it ....I have bought your 13% TCA peel from your website and was given free emu oil to use during the peel... I just want to know if you feel I am pretty much prepared and ready to do the TCA peel.. I’m kinda nervous for scaring.
Hello. TCA 13% is exactly where we want everyone to start with. One layer will be quite mild. It is as you start to add layers that it gets stronger. Start with 1 and then next time you can do 2... work your way up slowly. No need to be nervous at all. You will really like the peel. Watch the video on application. You can do it right along with us.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Ok! Thank you so much, will do !!! I will give an update after the peel is done with one layer !!
@@epiphanyariel7005 Yep. It will go just fine.
Is the fade bright, the same thing as a hyperpigmentation daily, acid remover?
Our Fade Bright has alpha arbutin, glutathione, granactive retinoid, kojic, azelaic, resveratrol and niacinamide to help lighten and brighten the skin tone. Use this 1-2x per day and also SPF 50 w/wide hat if you are spending time in the sun. :)
You have a beautiful and long neck!😊
Puspalata Parida well, thank you!’
I used 15% 3 layers from Makeup artist Choice didn’t frost. Ran out of product. Unable to do another layer I’m concerned 13 as it’s even lower still won’t provide adequate peeling
First of all you do NOT need to frost. It can happen - but isn't necessary to get flaking. So don't worry about that. Second, lets make sure that you are applying enough of the solution to your face. You want your face wet - but not dripping. See our TCA tutorial to see how to get the correct amount of acid on your gauze pad. www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peel-application-detailed-faq-aftercare/
Platinum Skin Care Thanks so much for the response. I ordered a few of your peels so I’ll do a series as suggested once it arrives x
I have the alpha Arbutin acid from the ordinary, could I use that to prep as a melanin inhibitor?
Alpha arbutin is perfect for prepping. That is exactly what we use in our Fade Bright. ... there are more ingredients than just that one.. but perfect. Yes.
What if Ive been using tretinoin + steroid and hydroquinone, does that count as a good skin prep? I also have tretinoin on it's own. What would you recommend out of the two? thank you! Your videos are greatly appreciated
Yes indeed. That is a perfect prep. Just tretinoin is all that is necessary (so you can put away the one with the steroid in this case) and the hydroquinone of course.
Hi! which antioxidant from PSC do you recommend for the A.M routine?
High Octane Vitamin C is the big one for sure. It has 3 different Vitamin C's in it. Just the tiniest dab (1/2 pea) mixed into your daily products will do.
You’re the best
Thank you SO much!
Should be stop using retinol before performing salicylic, mandelic or glycolic peel?
If it makes your skin super sensitive you can certainly stop a few days before. Many people are fine to use it right up to the peel application though. It is a milder peel.
Hello, I took your advice, did a tca 3 layer peel, it's been 2 weeks and I am barely peeling, the skin is dead but not coming off. What can I do? What did I do wrong?
Hello. I can't see a previous comment so I don't know what percentage you applied or where you applied it. Face generally takes 5-10 days to flake, the Body will take up to 1 month to see flaking. It is a much slower process. The percentage is going to play a part as well.
Which acid peel will brighten my hands ands darkness of knee please reply? I am indian medium dark toned skin
Please see here: www.platinumskincare.com/body-peels-which-acid-what-percentage-fitzpatrick/
I have a question :) I use the ordinary "alpha arbutin 2% + HA", the ordinary "niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%" and a product that includes vitamin C in my regular routine, do they already work or are enough as melanin inhibitors? Or do you have a better recommendation?
And I have very thick and oily skin, many of my skin care products include acids and are exfoliating, can I still use them after the tca peel or will it be too much for the skin so that I would have to focus more on hydrating products?
If you are using alpha arbutin that IS a melanin inhibitor. Super.
Hi i am 26, i am indian with dry skin and acne scars i am quite confused how can i reduce my acne scars with these acids, which one to opt tca or glycolic acid??
As u suggested to prepare skin prior this treatments.. thanks for your valubale suggestions..
That depends on what kind of "scar" you are referring to. Is this just a mark - or do you have pitted ice-pick scarring? A mark can be dealt with by using retinoids daily and any of the milder peels. I would suggest Mandelic 40. If you have pitted scars, then the TCA CROSS is the way to go. PRe-treat with a melanin inhibitor such as our FAde Bright 2x per day for 2 weeks minimum and then use the TCA 20 or 30 ONLY inside the scar itself. See this video to see what that will look like: www.platinumskincare.com/ethnic-skin-tca-cross-face-peel-eye-peel/
Hi. Thanks for your information. I already brought 25% of your tca...can I dilute it with some water to reduce the concentration?
Hello. We make TCA 7, 13, 20 and 30. That must be someone else's. My thought on diluting it... please check the ingredients first. Be sure it is OK to dilute. If so... and I would think so... you can absolutely do this. See our video here: www.platinumskincare.com/how-to-dilute-acid-peels/

I’m a little nervous to do a TCA peel (first timer here) wondering if doing a 7% TCA would be a good start for me?
That would be a very mild peel that you could do 2-4 layers of and still get very minimal peeling. I think it would be a perfect first product to try.

I had 3 sittings od TCA peel done without any previous preparation by a dermatologist. I am a type 5. I have post peel pigmentation since 6 years now due to this. Any recommendations for what will help give me even tone skin again?
Hi there. The treatment for this is the same as the PREtreatment they should have had you follow. See this video for a walkthrough: www.platinumskincare.com/so-you-ended-up-with-pih Retinol (or RetinA), Fade Bright (or hydroquinone) and SPF 50. Peels: Jessners ... Mandelic ... Lactic 50.
Hi, can I use Glycolic acid instead of retinol, is it necessary to use Vit C and can Tranexamic Acid be used as a melanin inhibitor?
Hello. You can definitely get some great exfoliation with glycolic acid. Go right ahead and use that. Vitamin C is not Mandatory - we just want you to be on a healthy skin regimen. You may use a different inhibitor.
Can we use trtinion 0.5 percent instead of retinol and niacinamide instead of vitamin c and azalic acid instead of alpha arbutin because I already use these products.
Hello. You may certainly use those ingredients. They are not alternatives per-se. We do try to be general. Vitamin C is an antioxidant ... but there are others. Azelaic acid is great - but not a replacement for Alpha Arbutin or Hydroquinone. Be sure to use ONE of those for 4 weeks prior to a peel if you have Olive or Darker skin tone.
Which retinol do you recommend ?
We suggest the Fusion A .15 if you are new to retinoids. Begin 3-4x per week and add on days as your skin acclimates/tolerates.
Mam plz tell me what all things I have to buy for darkness of hands elbows nd knees.nd scar present on legs also...and how to apply...plz reply
Fade Bright daily *or a hydroquinone melanin inhibitor. Very important. SPF 50 on any areas that can see the sun. A great peel would be the Lactic 50 or the Jessners.
Mam i m north east INDIAN i have dark skin ...but my knees is very dark.so which percentage should i use?
I would start off using Fade Bright or a hydroquinone daily to begin the lightening process. A more gentle peel that can be done a couple of times a month would be the Lactic 50% Leave that on for 15-20 minutes or so. **A stronger option would be the Jessners peel.
I'm confused. you're saying to prep by pre-fading the skin before a chemical peel that is supposed to do that very thing?
For the very best results you definitely want to remove some of the dead skin build-up before applying a peel. Products like acids and retinoids will help to clear out the pores, remove excess layers of skin, .... and in the case of retinol... it will make your skin heal more quickly after you do your TCA peel.
If you have medium - dark skin you MUST pretreat with a melanin inhibitor to help prevent PIH. Preparation is mandatory for a good outcome. Then, yes you will do a series of peels (6-8 in a row) before you reach your end point.
Can prescription strength azelaic acid serve as prep instead of alpha arbutin and/or hydroquinone?
And can it be used until the peel application day? Or stopped before? Can it be resumed right after to boost peeling/prevent PIH, or should one wait? Thanks
Azelaic is great for treating pigmentation and definitely has similar properties to Alpha Arbutin and Hydroquinone. We generally recommend one of the later ... but, you can use that if you wish.
Very informative, thank you! Can I use tranexamic acid serum as melanin inhibitor ?
If that is a melanin inhibitor then yes. It is not one we work with - but may be just fine.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you 😊
After prepping the skin with fade bright and retinol, can I do the peel next day or do I need to come off them for few days?
@@anitathapa653 You will want to use the Fade Bright for a minimum of 2 weeks before you do a TCA peel.
I have slightly deep acne scars and I am African / Lebanese . What will be your advice?
Video on CROSS method for depressed acne scars: ua-cam.com/video/-4Nrf9i6ROs/v-deo.html *For medium skin pretreat with melanin inhibitor for 2 weeks and then use after rinsing peel and every day afterwards. choose the TCA 20% instead of the 30 to help prevent PIH.
Also watch this video on scars: ua-cam.com/video/SCDGHAzEhjM/v-deo.html

So much for your informative , thank you. Curious if peels are performed in winter on sensitive skin?
Absolutely! You can do peels all year long. Just protect your skin from the sun. That is the BIGGEST thing you need to follow.
I love your Videos, so Informative and specific.
I perfomed a tca cross peel and a regular peel my self. After seven days it peeled beutifully, however, I can see a litle pink on the areas where i performed tca cross. How long should I avoid the exposure of direct sun. I have been avoiding my out doors running but I would like to know how long should I stay away from the sun.
Also, can I start using my retin A again?
Thank you🙏
The redness will fade overtime. You are safe to go out just be sure to wear an SPF 50 or higher and stay out of direct sunlight. You are also safe to start using your Retin A again.
Thank you for thanking the time to reply to my question. I will keep supporting your Videos and products.
OAM 101 thank you so much.
Do I need work my way up to a tca 13% peel by doing other peels like glycolic or mandelic before?
There is not a progression required. Choose the acid that will work with your needs and expectations. TCA will cause more flaking. AHAs may cause some light dryness... maybe a few flakes. You can start with a 7% TCA at about 2 layers. That is a GREAT place. Take our Peel Finder Tool Quiz here: www.platinumskincare.com/peelfindertool
To lighten the bikini area which acid would I use?
And can You do multiple peels a month?
Hi there. Please see this video on intimate lightening: www.platinumskincare.com/intimate-area-peels-vaginal-anal-underarms-inner-thighs/
What about the Mandelic Acid for body peels on Fitzpatrick VI skin? I know that TCA is stronger but I was curious about using the 40% mandelic on the quads, knees, elbows, and ankles. How does it compare to the 20% TCA?
Hello. Milder peels can certainly be used ... but those only give dryness on the face - which is many many times thinner. So, on the body it will be "not as usefull" as a stronger percentage or acid. If you want to be safest, opt for the TCA 13 and apply 3+ layers. **Remember too that the body takes 3-4 weeks to finish flaking. So it will be 10+ days before you see ANY drying at all. All perfectly normal.
How to dilute 30 percent glycolic acid peel
That is so mild I would not dilute it. You will not get anything at all. Even a 50% glycolic peel is only going to cause some light dryness.
Thanks so much for this video! Can the tca 13% help to get rid of really dark patches/melasma on brown skin on its own or will I eventually have to move up to a higher percentage
Yes of course! We recommend doing a series of 8 monthly TCA peels.
Platinum Skin Care Thanks for the response, does this mean one 13% tca peel a month over a span of 8 months? Also, this is a separate question but would a 20% peel to start be okay for darker skin with a longer prep time, like 4-6 weeks before application?
Prep instructions start at 3.31
:)
Please I have really dark embarrassing knuckles and feet.I would like to do a peel...Kindly recommend the percentage to use..I’m a medium skin tone
Fade Bright and SPF 50 every day. Jessners on a monthly basis.
Hi thank for you for being so kind and informative. I am around type5 and i have dark underarm and thigh can i use a tca peel?
Yes you sure can. We always suggest the melanin inhibitor for at least 2-3 weeks prior to applying and acids. This will also help to lighten any discolorations you have on your skin now. Most people use this daily to keep their skin clear and bright. For the peel, it will depend on if you want to deal with flaking or not. If you are OK with that, then the TCA 20% would be a good option at about 1-2 layers for your first time. *Remember the body will take up to 1 month to flake - so don't panic like nothing happened. It is a slower process than your facial skin. See this video for instructions on body peeling: ua-cam.com/video/tx-UkmxvOgI/v-deo.html&lc=
My skin is very thin can I use it?
And which %
Plz reply plz
That depends. Probably ... if it is not something that you are going to do all the time. TCA helps to thicken the Deeper layers of skin where the collagen and elastin are. It can be really beneficial for that. Use things like Regenerate EGF and Emu oil to help thicken the outer layers.
I use tretinoin at night so how can I use the melanin inhibitator? I have dark skin
Hi there. Wash, apply Fade Bright serum and then your Tretinoin. Then follow with any other creams or oils.
Can I use amlactin rapid relief lactic acid lotion after applying 20% tca?
No. Please do not apply acids after a chemical peel. Use only healing products like emu oil or essentials healing blend. Aquaphor is another one.
Hello, for someone with normal skin tone, is Jessner solution necessary when applying TCA (30%) for acne scars? Is it necessary? I don't understand the video fully because I don't know English. :)
Please see this quick tutorial on how to translate videos on UA-cam: platinumskincare.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22608988459667-Translate-Videos-on-the-website-or-UA-cam
Jessners is best for those with Acne or Hyperpigmentation.
TCA is the Antiaging peel. Great for this and also scarring. Super transformative.
TCA 30 is ONLY for the body ... on light skin types. Fitzptrick 1, 2, 3. ... Darker tones need a lighter % and also to use a melanin inhibitor for 4 weeks prior. See here www.platinumskincare.com/tca-peels-on-dark-skin/
I have been using your TCA 13%. I did it twice. Not much peeling at all. But I saw some results. I think I should do series of 4 or 5 repeats. But my skin dried a lot. Can I use lactic acid peels in between? My first peel ever was lactic peel from my sister. I only did it once and I loved the results. Then I watched all of your videos and gave a try to TCA. Which I was surprised with the results specifically those old marks are faded. I’m thinking of doing a lactic in between to hydrate the skin. Please advice.
Let's remember that it isn't just the Layers you are applying - but how much solution is on the pad. We want it WET ... just not dripping wet. Too little solution will be a lighter peel. Too heavy will be a stronger peel. Wet the pad, fold it and give a little squeeze and shake. You are ready to apply. You can always ALTERNATE peels. Don't try to squeeze them in when you are in the downtime for TCA though. *RULE* Always follow the recommendations of the LAST peel you applied. If you have to wait 1 week ... ok. If you have to wait 4... then you wait.
I did TCA peel. Now I got the black big patch how can I get it out. Thank you.
Can you give me some more information on that peel? What percentage did you apply? How many layers did you apply? Did you prep your skin with a melanin inhibitor prior to the peel application?
And.... is this darkness just a few hours or days after your application? Because that is most likely just the dead skin that will be flaking off. If it has been weeks, then you are most likely looking at PIH. To get that removed you will need to use Fade Bright or another melanin inhibitor 2x per day. www.platinumskincare.com/fade-bright-lightening/
I also highly suggest Retinol Molecular Serum .20%. www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/
Hello! Very informative video. I have dark skin and plan to do a chemical peel on my butt so I'm going to purchase your fade bright and tca peel 20%. In your video you mentioned as part of the AM prep to use an antioxidant after the fade bright. What would this be and what does the antioxidant do?
I suggest just the Fade Bright if you are treating the body. *Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion is another option for those wanting some body exfoliation.. but it isn't mandatory.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you!!
@@JoslynSarah 😊
Isit we have to apply retinol to body
You can apply retinol to the skin OR the Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion
I applied 2 layers of the 13% and 7% yesterday although I didnt finish the first bottles. And I still havent got any peeling should I apply more peel today?
Hello. You will only apply your TCA in ONE session... not over the course of days. Leave this go and next month when you are going to do another peel, add an additional layer of the 13% on your face and at least 3 layers of 7% on the eyes. **NOW** peels take days to start flaking. Don't expect anything from a peel you did yesterday. 3 days minimum. Watch the videos on what to expect after TCA: www.platinumskincare.com/after-tca-peel/
@@PlatinumSkinCare Hi platinum skincare, i did a TCA peel15% just finished peeling and i didn't see much difference in my skin and i had two pimple pop out, although i didn't prep my skin with retinol or any melanin inhibitor, my skin tone is 5-6 I'm African. Please when next is safe to get the next peel done and i have the garden of wisdom kojic acid and alpha arbutin and geek and gorgeous retinal 0.5 can these be used for the prep
Hi Platinum Skin Care Team,
I have ordered Fade bright and Retinol 20% from your site after seeing the PIH video.
I have a couple of queries, it would be very helpful if you could answer them for me.
So I am from India and have colored skin with my joints darker than rest of the body which bothers me, specially my knees , knuckles and ankles. I had tried salicylic acid 15% peel on the areas an the skin underneath turned out much lighter but of a reddish shade. Still much better than the dark skin standing out, I applied moisturizer and after some time hudroquinone to maintain the result however after few weeks the area turned much darker than it was before peeling. It stands out even more and looks like I got bruised. Can you please suggest me peels and process to help with my situation long term. I need to treat knees and knuckles . And if it goes well would like to peel my back as it has acne scars. I am just afraid of the darkness after peeling, need your guidance and product suggestions to get it right.
Hello. Fade Bright + Triple Treat 25% Body Lotion every day. SPF 50 as well. Lactic 50% peel every 2-3 weeks to help lighten the dark areas. This can be used on the back as well... but Jessners may work a bit better and is also excellent for hyperpigmentation.
Hi..i have 100% solution of TCA that I used for TCA cross method. Can I dilute the solution to 15% if I want to do the TCA peel.?
I do not recommend that at all. No one sells 100% TCA online. So dangerous. You really don't know what is in that solution. Platinum Skin Care peels are Certified Chemical Peels. Our peels are also manufactured right here in the USA.
Hi! Can I use glycolic acid toner and antioxidants such as The Ordinary resveratrol & ferulic acid or EUK 134 during my peeling phase?
Hello. You do not want to use acids while you are peeling - so skip the toner. For the MOST part you don't need to apply any "treatments" while you are peeling, or are getting ready to peel - as that skin is thicker and nothing is going to penetrate before that comes off. So, once everything is all peeled... then go ahead and use your daily treatments.
I'm of mixed heritage but am more white (english and german) a quarter black and a little native american. I look like a Fitzpatrick 3 but notice my scars last a long time and are purple. I'm nervous to do chemical peels and laser just because of how I scar. Do you think this genetic background would need special skin-conditioning?
We always suggest to do the Pre-Treating with a melanin inhibitor for at least 2-3 weeks. Then, start with something a bit milder like the TCA 13 at only 1 layer or maybe a 2nd layer as a spot treatment on your problem scars. Important to wear SPF 50 every time you go outdoors after a peel.
So I applied a 25% TCA peel on a scar on my leg. 1 layer until it frosted for about 3-4mins, this was 6 days ago, my scar now has this wrinkle glistening sheen on it, the scar has darken and has some dark bruising marks on it, my skin however is not peeling, what should I do?
The body will take about 30 days to peel. It works much slower than the face does. Watch this video: www.platinumskincare.com/hand-and-body-peeling-tca-30-versus-glycolic-70-demonstration/
I have really bad dark spots all over my body and legs which I always feel embarrassed about to even wear short skin .Can I use glycolic 30%.I have a dark skin or I should use tca 30%.And I can’t find tca on Amazon where can I buy it @platinum skin care
You can purchase on our website www.platinumskincare.com
Glycolic 30 for the body will not be strong enough. We recommend TCA 20 on darker skin types. Be sure to pre treat for 2 weeks with Fade Bright prior to using the peel. I also recommend our Triple Treat Body Lotion daily. It contains 25% Glycolic and is a really nice daily exfoliating lotion.
My ambi fade cream has 2% hydroquinone, can I use that as my melanin inhibitor?
You may use whatever you wish that has the ingredients we mentioned.
Can I use fade bright during peling time and after peling and before time ..I mean everday I Wana apply .
Absolutely! Most people use it 2x per day to keep their skin tone even. Use SOF 50 as well.
Is it ok to do 30% tca on a fitzpatrick 5 on the body?
After watching this video - I hope you are leaning more towards a 13 or 20 instead. Also, do Not forget to prep for 4 weeks with a melanin inhibitor such as our Fade Bright or Hydroquinone. *I also responded to your same question on the other video.
Is this is used for acne scars.... Can I used it...
Yes, indeed. You will use a higher strength inside a depressed scar (cross method) or just apply extra layers on a scar. If you have ethnic skin then make sure to prep the skin with melanin inhibitors to help prevent PIH with stronger acids. I would also suggest using the Super Cop 2x on the scar every evening. www.platinumskincare.com/copper-super-cop-2x/
Hello what about tca crossing ? What percentage is good for ice pick skin with brown skin tone? My husband has severe ice pick acne as well as surface acne and he has oily skin
Take a look at this video for an idea on how this will work on ethnic skin tones: www.platinumskincare.com/ethnic-skin-tca-cross-face-peel-eye-peel/
We recommend pre-treating with a melanin inhibitor for at least 2 weeks and then choosing *preferably the TCA 20 for the cross. The lower percentages are safer and will be less likely to cause PIH after a peel. SPF 50 mandatory as well.
Can I please get some Information on TCA 7%. It is there in the manual but the video mentioned TCA 13% for darker skin. I’m Asian Indian with a yellow brown skin coloration but looking to use it in dark chocolate brown skin patches on inner thighs.
Hello. Certainly. TCA 7% is extremely mild. We use several layers of this percentage on the Eye lids and surrounding skin. On the body you most likely won't see any flaking... or a very small bit of dryness. So if you are really worried... this could be a good place to start. *Always prep with a melanin inhibitor like our Fade Bright or hydroquinone to help prevent PIH. Another option is a Lactic 50 peel or just using a daily acid lotion like our Triple Treat 25% Acid Lotion along with Fade Bright. There are many options for you.
Can I ask what the percentage of Alpha arbutin is in Fade Bright?
Certainly. Recommended dose is 2% - ours is 4%.
Hi, I have (I would say) heavy discoloration around my back and chest after acne breakout (I think the biggest contributor to that is because I picked them). I have Southeast Asian tanned skin and very prone to acne. I have several questions:
1. I read that Jessner is more effective in drying out the acnes, some reviews mentioned 2-3 days after applying 1 coat of Jessner, the acne dried out. Would you recommend me to do Jessner to fasten the drying of the pimples, and if they do, after 3-5 days, can I go right ahead with TCA?
2. As I have done TCA10% on my back and chest and it doesn't do anything, would you recommend me to jump to 20 or 30%?
3. I regularly use Palmer Skin Therapy Oil, do you think this can act as Melanin Inhibitor and soothing?
4. What kind of peeling would you recommend for discoloration around the underarm and the thigh folds near the genitals?
Thanks a lot!
Hello. Firstly you will only do ONE peel a month. If you do jessners today.. you must do TCA immediately after that and finish in one setting. This is commonly layered, so no worries. Follow this video for ideas: www.platinumskincare.com/jessners-tca-advanced-peeling/ and this video as well: www.platinumskincare.com/are-you-ready-for-advanced-peeling-methods/
TCA gets its strength in LAYERS and VOLUME of solution. You do not want to jump up in percentage unless you are applying 5 layers and want more. Please try to understand layering better before moving forward. This video speaks specifically on TCA.. but jessners is applied the same way. Watch here: www.platinumskincare.com/understanding-tca/
I cannot comment on other products. If there is alpha arbutin or hydroquinone it is a melanin inhibitor.
For intimate areas be more gentle. Lactic 50 is a great option and Fade Bright daily.
@@PlatinumSkinCare Wow, thanks you for the fast response! I am gonna watch all those videos and order! Thanks
@@PlatinumSkinCare One more questions, can you use Jessner o TCA on the top of acnes that are still active? Or I have to wait until it dried out completely?
@@rah8684 Happy to help!
@@rah8684 It is fine to apply a peel on top of a blemish ... AS LONG AS it is not popped open. Don't apply acid to a wound. :)
Hello. I have dark skin. I'm African American. If I use the melanin inhibitor. Will there still be a high chance of pih? and how long do I do the treatment before I start the peel? and what would you reccomd the limit for the concentration of the peel?
Hello. Yes there will - unfortunately... as it is an option for absolutely anyone. By prepping your skin though you are dramatically reducing your chances...and if you get any it will definitely be much milder. We suggest at least 2 weeks with more being more beneficial. SPF 50 as well.
I have a hyperpigmentation scar on my nose from a brush burn, I want to get rid of it so bad please tell me what to do
I recommend using Fade Bright 1-2 x per day on the dark area only. Jessner is excellent for pigmentation issues. I recommend a monthly spot treatment with Jessner followed by Luminosity for 3-5 days post peel.
@@PlatinumSkinCare okay! i got the fade bright and retinol serum to prep my skin, but ive hesrd tca might work better for lifting this dark spot. is that true?
Hi i have indian skin type my problem is that i have some acne marks on my skin nd also have some icepick scars so can i use tca 25% nd what should i have to use before tca and after peeling on my skin what i need to use on face plz tell me
With your natural ethnic skin tone you really need to prep with a melanin inhibitor. Our Fade Bright 2x per day or a hydroquinone product and SPF 50 whenever you leave the house. You could use the 25% in the scars, but I would cut that in 1/2 when applying to the rest of your face.
@@PlatinumSkinCare thank you so much ❤

Can chemical peeling cause face to get fair skin without any side effects
Peels can lighten EXCESS pigmentation on the skin from the sun. They won't make your skin lighter than your natural color though. Use this to even and brighten the skin.
I want to be fair, please tell me something so that I can get 3,4 shades lighter with any medicine cream to make me fair without side effects. Please help,😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Queen-xv4vp Hello. As I stated peels can help remove excess pigmentation - but they can't make your skin lighter than your natural coloring. Look at an area that isn't exposed to the sun such as the breast or buttocks. That is your normal skin coloring without sun damages. That will be attainable. Making your skin lighter than that will not. I do know of people using bleaching treatments - but I would exercise EXTREME caution.
Remember the grass is always greener on the other side. Those with light skin want it darker an visa versa. Try to work with what you have and use makeup as a way to give that lighter (brighter) feel in the center of your face. You can do this with highlighting tricks. Your natural color can be the lowlighted area and the makeup can give that touch of lightness that you desire. There are so many makeup tutorials out here on UA-cam. Check them out. I just did some quick searching and found this lovely woman she is teaching highlighting and contouring. ua-cam.com/video/hy5S3etp-2Q/v-deo.html
Are you familiar with good molecules pigment correction serum? Would this be safe to use after a peel instead of the fade bright?
Hello. I am afraid I have not heard of that. After a peel you want healing products only. Use your inhibitor (alpha arbutin or hydroquinone) PRIOR to doing a peel for 2-3 weeks.
@@PlatinumSkinCare OK, just wanted to clarify because I have been using my eye cream im which contains a form of retinol, but your saying to stop 2-3 days before applying the peel correct?
@@zuriharris7121 Hello. I would "assume" any retinol in an eye cream is Very low and probably an ester. If you are doing an eye peel, go ahead and stop for 1-2 days... but, it is probably not necessary.
Ive done a 30% jessner peel about 2 years ago but have never used tca before. Will i still have to work my way up in percentage of the tca or will i be ok with 15%?
GAINCHASERS 15 should be a good place to start. I suggest only 1 or 2 layers.
Do I need a moisturizer after applying retinol
I don't generally add one on top of ours - but you absolutely can.
Hi, if I want to do whole body peel, do I need to apply fade brightening serum and retinol to whole body as well. Thanks :)
Yes. If your skin is darker you will want to take that precaution. Retinol isn't necessary .. but FB would be.
