Exfoliant Solution
I have microcomedonal acne (whiteheads) and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkened spots) from manually extracting and picking those whiteheads. This product helped me get rid of those concerns. Tretinoin and hydroquinone are both gold standards in their own field, tretinoin being a potent anti acne ingredient and hydroquinone being a potent depigmenting agent so i guess that's why it was so effective for me. I only use the maxipeel #2 solution twice a week and on days i don't use it i use a tretinoin 0.025% tretinoin instead.
The concentration of tretinoin and hydroquinone in this product is as high as prescription formulation. That means that even if it's over the counter, this product should be used under the guidance of a dermatologist because it can become too irritating if you abuse it. IT IS NOT A TONER. It is a skin treatment and it should be used with caution. Beginners should use the lowest concentration first wich is maxipeel #1 and SHOULD STRICTLY FOLLOW the instructions on the carton. Don't use it more than two months. You should let your skin take a break from hydroquinone for at least two or three months before using it again otherwise you will develop OCHRONOSIS or rebound darkening (not just tanning, it's literally grayish black) due to photosensitivity. That's how potent it is and you should take moisturizer, spf and sun protection seriously when using it.
