JESSNERS Peel l Application | Detailed FAQ | Aftercare

Today we are going to learn everything about the Jessners peel *pronounced Yessners. You can purchase your CERTIFIED Peel here: https://www.platinumskincare.com/jess...

Jessners is a blend of 14% Saliyclic acid, 14% Lactic acid and 14% Resorcinol. It’s commonly used on oily and blemish-prone skin, and because of the resorcinol – its excellent for pigmentation as well and is a staple – when dealing with discolorations.

Resorcinol may be a new ingredient name for you – and it’s a great one for pigmentation! It’s basically a blend of 50% hydroquinone and 50% Cat-e-Kol. It digs deep into the pores and helps to lighten many forms of hyper-pigmentation including PIH.

How do I apply this peel? This is applied just like a TCA peel – in layers. Each layer you apply will make the peel stronger. This is great because you can control how much flaking you’re going to get very easily. 1 or 2 layers will be very manageable.

Several layers can be applied to make this a deep peel – but we highly recommend only adding on ONE additional layer at a time as you move up.

Can I apply this with a TCA peel?

This is very common in a professional setting.
Jessners is usually applied as a pre-treatment since the salicylic and resorcinol help to dissolve the harder skin cells that could potentially block TCA penetration.

It’s also especially helpful with oilier skin types – where the excess oil can block acid penetration or lead to an uneven uptake.

This is something that you will move UP to if you feel that either the TCA or Jessners isn’t working well enough on their own. This is an advanced peeling method and we have a detailed tutorial video that you can follow if you are ready for this.

Can I apply this with the Dream Peel? Yes you can. By applying a layer of Vitamin A after a TCA or Jessners peel you can intensify the flaking. I will demonstrate that in this peel video.

How do you prepare for a medium depth peel such as this one? We want your skin to be healthy and exfoliated before we apply an acid.
The perfect product to prepare your skin with is our Retinol Molecular Serum every evening to even out the skin. I suggest the .20%.

*If you have prescription Tretinoin that’s great too! Another alternative would be an acid serum like our Serum 15 or Serum 30.

How many layers of Jessners can I apply? We generally recommend no more than 4-5 layers. In a professional setting they may continue to apply based on how your skin is responding. So, it is POSSIBLE for you to work your way up to more … but you need to exert caution when applying salicylic and resorcinol.

Very Important Note Here for Ethnic skin coloring (Fitzpatrick 3-6):
If you have Olive toned or darker skin, we always recommend you to prepare with a melanin inhibitor such as our Fade Bright or a hydroquinone product for at least 2 weeks prior to a deeper peel. This will help to prevent Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. You can find Fade Bright here for purchase: https://www.platinumskincare.com/fade...

Follow along and you can apply your peel at the same time as me. If you are in need of more information - we have many many videos here on Youtube as well as on our website to teach you.
