I am so excited to share this short little post with you. I started doing face peels at home five years ago. When I started, I took a bunch of photos of my skin so I could document whether or not the peels actually worked. I did face peels quite regularly on and off for the last five years – switching between a variety of peels (For example: Glycolic Acid, Mandelic Acid & More). I sometimes did them weekly, sometimes only once or twice a month.
Please be aware though that I was also doing derma rolling or derma needling sessions at home with a roller, occasionally. When I initially started to do them, I think I was doing the derma needling once or twice a month – but it wasn’t really intense. Later on, I would only do them a few times a year. So, I think these results are mostly due to the face peels but could most definitely also be because of the light microneedling sessions I did as well. If I was using a microneedling pen, the needles would go deeper and I might attribute these results to it if I had done that. So, it’s hard to tell but I wanted to provide full disclosure, in case the needling played a part in my results.
People often ask me where I buy my peels from. I currently really like Platinum Skincare peels (affiliate link) and purchase from them. But, I am always open to trying new brands and products. If you buy from them, feel free to use my code: “Holly10” for 10% off.
I only discovered these photos yesterday and I was SHOCKED! The funny thing about aging is this – some people tend to not notice all the little wrinkles and stuff that are forming until they get to a certain age – then the war on aging is on. So for me, I wasn’t super bothered by my skin five years ago but now I am really aware of things and so surprised that my skin looked way worse five years ago than now. I feel that my skin looks much more firm, toned and I have noticeably less wrinkles! I still have some, but they are way lighter. I am so amazed at these photos – I really wanted to share this with you guys! I have more photos, but it takes time to find ones that are in similar poses so I can put them side by side. I will try to find more and post them on here in the future. Thanks so much!

Great results.
Wow even the fine lines and tear trough area looks better and more plump. Do you think that’s from the peels or something else you’ve used? I have trouble with my tear troughs and fine lines around the eyes and want to do something to improve it :/
So at your recommendation I purchased the lowest level glycolic peel (30), as I’ve never done any kind of peel before. My question is this! I did my third micro needling session 8 days ago. My skin for the most part is back to normal…maybe just a little dryer than normal still. I used the glycolic peel I purchased on my teenage son shortly after I got it. He never really noticed anything other than slight, slight tingling. He never had any side effects beyond that though. So the question is…I’m 8 days out from my last MN treatment…how long… Read more »
