Because of the ingredients used in the Brightening Peel, we strongly recommend that you follow all application steps, including pre- and post-peel, as provided below. This will help ensure the best results and best skin comfort. Read all instructions before beginning Brightening Peel.
DAY 1-14
PREP: HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR BRIGHTENING PEEL
You should not use Brightening Peel for at least 2 weeks, and preferably 4 weeks, after using a strong peel or facial treatment to allow your skin to fully recover. Discontinue use of cosmetic products with retinoid/retinol and/or AHAs/BHAs.
For 2 weeks prior to your treatment, apply Daily Dark Spot Intercept (DDSI) followed by Daily Renewal Cream (DRC) and Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 (SPF) each morning. At night, repeat the application of DSI and DRC. When outdoors, reapply SPF every 2-3 hours.
These steps prime the skin, creating the ideal condition for the treatment and ensuring the best post-peel results.
DAY 15
STEP 1: CLEANSE
Pull hair completely off face. Cleanse skin with Ourself Daily Purifying Cleanser or normal cleanser. Avoid cleansers that contain acids or exfoliants.
STEP 2: PREPARING THE PEEL
Open the peel vial by placing thumb on the arrows on the cap and pushing up. This will break the foil safety seal in the center. Carefully remove the crimp seal and the stopper.
STEP 3
If the kit purchase has a tray included, place peel vial into perforated hole for stability during application. If no tray is included, proceed to Step 4.
STEP 4: PREPARING THE PEEL
Fold the gauze pad into quarters.
Using the dropper, apply 1-2 droppers full of Peel to the gauze evenly distributing the solution from the center of the pad to the edges. Make sure that the gauze is not dripping.
STEP 5: APPLYING THE PEEL
Cleanse face, pull hair back
Apply one layer of the Peel solution, using a single passage over skin, working in this order:
Forehead
Lower face (around the mouth, avoiding lips)
Nose area
Cheeks (don't apply above your cheekbone)
Avoid the eye area entirely
STEP 6: APPLYING MULTIPLE LAYERS
Wait 3-5 minutes after the first layer of peel is applied.
Mild stinging and burning is expected. If burning or stinging continues after 5 minutes, stop application.
If there is no lingering burning or stinging after 5 minutes you may apply up to 2 additional layers.
STEP 7: APPLYING POST-PEEL SKINCARE
After the final layer is applied, wait 15-30 minutes before applying moisturizer to keep treated area well moisturized.
If using Ourself Everyday Regimen, apply DDSI, followed by DRC. It is important to use SPF in the daytime to protect skin and encourage results.
NOTE: Brightening Peel is self-neutralizing, you do not need to wash it off.
STEP 8: STORAGE
If you have extra solution in the bottle, pop on the extra cap and save for your next peel day. Enjoy your brighter skin for at least 2-4 weeks before you repeat Brightening Peel. Store upright in a cool, dark place, away from pets, children and jostling (it’s best if the opened solution doesn’t spill as it can cause damage to some surfaces; do not travel with bottle after opening). Once opened, Brightening Peel should be used or carefully poured down the drain within 3 months.
DAY 16+
STEP 9: PEEL POST CARE
Cleanse your face as usual the next day and continue the application of DDSI, DRC, SPF am/pm to maintain optimum results.
Avoid excessive sun exposure, if you must be outside, reapply SPF every 2-3 hours.
Expect to see visible results—brighter, silky-soft skin - within 7-14 days after using Brightening Peel.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Because of the ingredients used in the Brightening Peel, we strongly recommend that you follow all application steps, including pre- and post-peel. This will help ensure the best results and best skin comfort.
Everyone's skin responds differently:
You may experience visible flaking or peeling, especially 2-4 days post-treatment. This is normal. Do not exfoliate or pull at the skin on the treated area. It will come off on its own.
On the other hand, you may not experience any visible skin peeling after the treatment. This is also normal. The product is still working.
You'll see visible results—brighter, silky-soft skin—within 7-14 days of using Brightening Peel.
