According to Skin Culture, Skin Culture Peel 3000 is one of the company’s most popular treatments. The makers claim that most people start off with Peel 3000 because it helps them see the results they desire in only 6 days. As a medium chemical peel, Skin culture Peel 3000 provides a level of penetration that effectively removes years of accumulated dirt, debris, and thickened skin.
What’s Included With Skin Culture Peel 3000?
Skin Culture Peel 3000 comes with three jars of of formula for you to use during the first 3 days of the treatment. This is the strongest part of the kit. You’ll also receive some moisturizer to use during the remaining 3 days. This part of the treatment helps to soften your dead skin so it can gently peel away. Be careful to avoid peeling the skin yourself, though. Just let it peel naturally. Otherwise, redness and puffiness can occur.
Skin Culture also provides an Aftercare Kit to help you maintain your new skin. It comes with a Glycolic Cleanser, Glycolic Facial Lotion, Advanced Protection SPF30, and a Restorative Marine Moisturizer.
What Real Users Have to Say About Skin Culture Peel 3000
Here are a few testimonials from some real people who have used Peel 3000.
Here’s what C. Clout from London, England had to say:
Awesome!
Hi, I’ve just finished using the Peel 3000 and I have been very impressed with the results. I will be purchasing the Peel 4000 shortly as I am really keen to go a bit deeper and also will be purchasing the aftercare products as I didn’t buy that with the Peel 3000, as I wasn’t sure how it would all turn out, and I’m pleased that I’m pleasantly surprised with the results!
What I like the most is that the bags under my eyes have almost just gone and so have my laughter lines and the wrinkle I had on my forehead is diminished. Years of using gadgets to try and remove them and they wouldn’t budge and now they’ve gone in a week! Awesome! I’m 36, didn’t look old but had that tired look about me for a while. I’m glad it’s worked so well and I’m glad to be able to share my day to day progress with readers around the world!
Best wishes,
C Clout, London, England
Here’s another testimonial from Lisa Furton in California:
He asked for your website, because he was interested in your products!
After using the Skin Culture Peel I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon today about the remaining scars, and he said that my skin responded so well to the Peel 3000, that I really didn’t need any further treatment! He asked for your website, because he was interested in your products. I think I will only do one more peel, just on the scars and I will be done.
Thank you so much,
Lisa Furton, California
Here’s one more testimonial form Rachel in the USA:
It is worth it…It is the best!
I am being so honest. Skin Culture peel has really gotten rid of my dark spots from my acne and cleared up my bumps…There is nothing else that has worked for me besides this ..I love it and I will continue to use it and it’s after care products.My first peel was a level 3000..I got wonderful results from that..Then I went to the big level 4000…And wow! It has removed ages of black marks and acne from my face…I feel Flawless!!!.It is definitely a self esteem booster.I hated my face before while I was in school…The black/brown spots use to be so visible in the sun especially.I have finally found something that works for me and I love It!!!

I TRULEY AM IMPRESSED. GLAD I FOUND YOU
Wow, Pam!

Hoi Grace,
Ik hoop dat deze vertaling is duidelijk. Skin Peel Cultuur werkt voor alle huidtypes kleuren en soorten, dus het zal goed werken op donkere huid. Als u een kijkje nemen in de herziening van Skin Peel Cultuur 4000, ziet u beelden van een donkere man die gevild had geweldige resultaten met de behandeling. Laat het me weten als u verder nog vragen heeft.
Met vriendelijke groet

Hi Linda!
I just purchased my first skinculture 3000 kit and I’m very eager to use it. According to all the testimonials, this seems to be the best kept secret out there! lol Just one question though. Should I stay away from the sun during the six-day treatment? Should I continue avoiding it after it’s been completed? If so, how long? I’m planning a trip to Miami Beach in May, and I wouldn’t want my “new” skin to react negatively to the omnipresent Floridian sun.
Thanks for your assistance! You’re the best!
Patrice
Hello again Linda!
Just forgot to mention, I’m of Haitian descent, my complexion is somewhere between chocolate and caramel and I’ve never had to use sunblock before. So I was wondering if my skin would indeed become more sensitive to the sun after the treatment. I did purchase the after care products along with the skinculture peel 3000, and I’m hoping using those will be sufficient, since we can’t really postpone our trip… :S You think I’ll be ok?
Anyways, I’m looking forward to hear from you!
By the way, I’ve read a lot of your responses and I’d like to commend you for your eloquence, clarity, honesty, outstanding people skills and overall “sweetness”. You’ve been such a great help to all of us.
Take care!
Hi Patrice,
It’s so good to hear your enthusiasm!
I generally recommend folks avoid the sun during the six-day treatment. Now this doesn’t mean you should become a recluse while you’re using the peel. However, it does help to avoid long periods of sun exposure during the treatment, especially when your face begins to peel.
Once you’ve completed the treatment, feel free to enjoy as much sun as you want! Just be sure to use a minimum SPF 15 sunscreen for at least 30 days following the treatment. If you’re gonna be starting the peel in a few weeks, then you should be fine by the time your Miami Beach trip rolls around. Again, I can’t stress the importance of sunscreen. You’ll be glad you used it.
I’d sure love some warm sun and soft sand right about now. Well, I’ll guess you’ll just have to enjoy it for me.
Happy Peeling
Linda
Wow Patrice!
I just read your other comment and I must say my heart is smiling warmly. Thank you so much! I do my best to be everything you’ve mentioned and more, so I’m glad to hear it shows!
The peel and aftercare products work for every skin tone, so you’re not likely to experience increased sensitivity to sun exposure. Since you’ve purchased the aftercare products, you’ll actually have everything you need. There’s no need to purchase additional sunscreen.
You couldn’t have made a wiser decision. The aftercare products are great. As long as you use the peel and aftercare products as directed you should be able to enjoy every ray of sunshine your heart desires while in Miami Beach!
Enjoy your trip, Patrice!
Cheers
Linda
Hi Linda! Hope you’re well!
You were probably asked this 100 times in the last few weeks, but just so I’m on top of things, is SkinCulture USA still going through shipment and delivery issues? I made my purchase last Wednesday, and despite the claim that they ship orders within 2 business days, my order is still “being processed”. What’s worse is I paid an extra $39.00 for Express Mail International (5-day) delivery, since I live in Canada. As I told you, I’m planning a trip to Miami Beach in May, and I’d hate for my delivery to be already lost. I realize I might come off as paranoid as it hasn’t even been a week since my purchase, but after reading some customers’ feedback on the sometimes poor customer service SkinCulture USA provides (I know for a fact that they never pick up the phone, I tried at least 20 times) I’m getting concerned that this issue might take a turn for the worse.
So are my concerns legitimate? Will I receive what I ordered within a reasonable deadline?
Thanks again for all your precious help.
Talk to you soon!
Patrice
Hi Patrice,
I am well. Thank you!
Actually, I haven’t been asked this question in a while, which is a good thing. So, I assume those issues have been resolved. When these issues initially arose, I was prompted to contact SkinCulture USA myself because I found it odd. You can read the answer I received here if you haven’t seen it already.
In short, it appears they received a slew of orders at one time which put other supplies on back order and caused some shipping delays. As for the phone issues, were you calling either of these numbers: 1-877-887-1115 (USA Only) or 1-814-347-0245 (International)? They’re available by phone Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 am and 6 pm EST.
If you have been calling these numbers during business hours (which I’m sure you have been), then I’m not sure why you’re getting no answer. I’ve always found them to be prompt in responding by phone and email.
Now, to finally answer you questions, your concerns are legitimate. I’m not sure if I’d be any less concerned if I were in your shoes. However, I don’t think you have anything to worry about at this point. In most cases, people receive their orders within 9 days with regular shipping. Unfortunately, only those who’ve had to wait for longer periods chime in with their feedback. This is understandable, though.
Also, it could be a time zone issue. I’m not sure what the time difference is in your part of Canada, but if you made your purchase on Thursday according to EST, then Monday EST would be the second business day since they are closed on weekends. You’ll likely see an update tomorrow. I don’t know I’m just throwing some possibilities out there. I am confident, though, that you’ll receive your order within a reasonable deadline.
If you haven’t already, Patrice, I suggest you send an email to umm@skincultureusa.com in addition to calling 1-814-347-0245. Sorry for the long, verbose response. I can be long-winded at times. I think I have three lungs
I hope you hear from them soon, Patrice. Will you let me know how things work out for you?
Thanks
Linda
Hello again Linda!
How you manage to answer people so fast and so efficiently is still beyond me… lol Anyways, how are you doing? I, for one, have had better days… Unfortunately, nothing has changed since yesterday. My order hasn’t been shipped out yet and is still “being processed”, whatever that means at this point. Before writing you yesterday, I had actually already sent an e-mail to umm@skincultureusa.com to inquire about the status of my order. After trying to call both customer service numbers about 30 times each (no exaggeration), I figured I might as well resort to writing them. According to their pre-recorded message, e-mailed inquiries would ensure “faster” service (a response within 24 to 72 hours!!!).
So it’s been 24 hours and, as I expected, nobody has gotten back to me as of yet. Just for kicks, I decided to try my luck with the customer service line again. I’m not gonna lie to you Linda, I don’t think they have more than one rep working at their call center. They literally NEVER PICK UP! The phone doesn’t even ring. After their little introduction they almost automatically forward the call to their voicemail. I’ve tried both numbers time and time again—morning, afternoon AND evening. They claim that our call is important to them, that an agent will be with us shortly and that our call might be recorded for security assurance. I’m guessing they felt the need to include that whole scenario to add to their credibility. Anyways… I have to admit that today, at around 5pm EST, after my 36th attempt, I did manage to speak to someone. I explained my situation to the agent and before I could even give him my name and order number, he asked me if this was about a Skin Culture order. I said yes (obviously!), and he told me right away that a lot of their products were back-ordered and that they should be receiving a new shipment either by the end of this week or next week. He then told me that I’d be notified by e-mail as soon as my order would be shipped.
So they’re currently out of stock. That’s understandable. What I find less understandable is the fact that, ever since I created my account last week, Skin Culture has been sending me AT LEAST one e-mail per day encouraging me to purchase their products at a lowered price, an offer that would only last a “limited” time. I was already sold on the product. I purchased it since last Wednesday. I even paid a little extra to have it rushed to me. I keep getting e-mails detailing the product’s benefits and prompting me to buy what I already bought. And now I’m being told the product’s back-ordered??? They couldn’t include that useful piece of information on their website?? Had I known that, I wouldn’t have wasted nearly 40 dollars for rushed delivery.
I barely know you Linda, but from the responses you’re so patiently giving us everyday, I know how empathetic you are; so I’m certain you understand my frustration. Skin Culture urges customers to buy, buy, buy, but barely provides ANY assistance at all. Mind you, the products look great, and I’m sure they work as well as the site claims. I just think that it’s a shame the quality of their goods doesn’t match the quality of their service. Anyways, just thought I’d share that with you. I guess I’M the long-winded one now, lol. By the way I love reading your replies, as you know, so rest assured: the more verbose the better!
Again, thanks for listening! I’ll let you know how things unfold. In the meantime, take care of yourself!
Talk to you soon!
Patrice
Hi Patrice,
I am doing well today! Thanks for asking! Since I practically live next to my computer I’m always popping in here to see how things are going, so quick responses are my specialty.
I’m glad to see a fellow member of the “three lung club” being unashamed in her verbosity. I don’t know if I can top you in being long-winded today, but we’ll see.
Okay, enough of my antics for now.
First, let me thank you for giving an update on your experience. As I read every detail, I couldn’t help but to feel a bit peeved (no, livid) myself. The product is absolutely great, but I’d hate to see these service issues have too negative of an affect on the company and people’s sentiments about the peels.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve heard enough stories like this one and each one makes me a little more upset and ready to take some kind of action in my readers’ defense. On one hand I can understand the challenges a company faces with the phone ringing off the hook all day and tons of products on back order, not to mention all the concerns arising form other departments. Maybe their short on staff, too.
One the other hand, from a consumer’s standpoint, it’s totally frustrating to try to reach a resolution on something and hear nothing after dozens of attempts to make contact. I’ll certainly do what I can to get some answers this time around. Everyone here is absolutely great and deserves an explanation.
I’m glad to hear you were FINALLY able to get someone to answer the phone. I’m sure they’ve been doing their best to catch as many call as they could.
As for the emails, I can understand where you’re coming from. And it would be nice if they mentioned when products are on back-order at some point during the checkout process. I think this would at least help people feel better about delayed shipments because they would be expecting things to take longer than normal. Hopefully service improves and they get some more people to handle phone calls, at least when products are on back order.
Anyway, that’s my two cents for today. Maybe it’s more like 35 cents
I really hope you have everything you need before your vacation. In the meantime, have you thought about asking them to refund the extra money you paid for expedited shipping? I’m sure you have. You’re certainly entitled to it. I can imagine you thought of a million other things you cold have asked them after you hung up. There’s something a little mind-numbing about dialing the same number over and over and over and over and over. I sometimes forget whom I called and what I called for.
I’m gonna stop rambling now. I look forward to hearing how things unfold for you, Patrice. I’m all ears.
Cheers
Linda
Hola Linda! Did you miss me? lol
How’s everything? I just thought I’d drop by and give you an update on this whole ordeal I’m going through with Skin Culture. So… as I expected, a week has passed and still nothing. I’ve been playing the waiting game so much I’ve mastered it by now. This is getting pretty ridiculous though. They REALLY need to announce that all of their peels are currently back-ordered… Anyways, I called customer service again and to my surprise I actually spoke to somebody on the first try (after a 20-minute wait mind you, but still). I must admit there IS some improvement in that area… Anyways, the agent I spoke to—her name was Tina—told me that they were out of stock due to the exceptionally high demand their recent promotion has generated (you know, that same promotion Skin Culture has been bombarding my inbox with). According to her, this whole situation should be resolved within “a couple of weeks”. Yes, A COUPLE OF WEEKS. Up until now, they’ve gone as far as “talking to the manufacturer”… Wow.
I told Tina that I had paid $39 for Express International delivery and she skillfully and tactfully let me know that I would receive zero compensation for the extended delay, stressing that, if I hadn’t selected that shipment method, “Lord knows when I would’ve received my order.” Way to leave a client feeling satisfied. I wasn’t sure whether I was going to purchase a second peel from Skin Culture, but after that brilliant display of customer care, why doubt any further?
Forgive the sarcasm. You know I got love for you Linda. I just needed to vent a bit. lol
I’ll keep you posted.
The saga continues… lol
Take care
Patrice
Hi. I just ordered the peel 3000 and I reveived an email the following day after placing my order saying it had sent out, and that I’d receive it within 5 to 10 working days. 12 working days have now passed and still nothing. Skin Culture (not USA, by the way) won’t return my emails, or answer my phone calls. It’s beginning to look like a scam, and I’m getting worried that I was just robbed over 100 dollars. Is it normal to receive the package a little late?
And thank you so much for all the help you give to people asking for help. It’s very kind of you to take your time to do this.
Hi Kit,
I’m sorry to hear you haven’t received your package yet. I’m sure there’s an explanation for the delay. I wouldn’t suspect a scam at this point. Mail delivery can be unpredictable at times. You have to keep in mind, too, that Skin Culture International is based in the UK, so the distance and time zone difference may have something to do with the delay and phone issues. I’m not so sure about the emails, though.
I’ve gotten to know these folks pretty well as they’ve come to the aid of many people who read this blog regularly, so I don’t suspect any foul play. I’ll see what I can do to find out about your situation. I haven’t heard of anything from anyone else in a similar situation (which is a good thing), so you may end up receiving your order within the next day or two. In the meantime, I’ll be going to bat for you to see if i can find out if anything out of the ordinary is going on.
I’ll keep you posted, Kit. By the way, you’re welcome. Your thanks is both humbling and appreciated. It’s my pleasure to help.
Cheers
Linda
Thank you so much for the quick reply and for helping to put me at ease. I’m sure you’re right. I’ll be patient for a few more days and we’ll just see what happens. Probably just being paranoid.
Thanks again!
You WERE right
I received an email this morning with a tracking number. Turns out I received it days ago, and no one was home to sign for it. I guess the slip telling me to pick it up got blown away or something.
Let’s hope it works… Thanks!
Wow! That’s good news, Kit! I’m glad I could help.
I figured there was a reasonable explanation. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the kit.
Happy Peeling
Linda
Sorry to bother you again Linda but I have one more question. I recieved the package today so I was going to begin it tomorrow. How soon will any change in skin color and the actual peeling occur? I have an important meeting this Friday, and four more on the 21st, 22nd, 28th, and 3rd.
I really don’t want to wait until after all those dates to start the treatment. So, if I start it in the morning (Thursday), will I be alright to go out the following day (Friday)?? I thought of waiting until after Friday, but if I had any small bits that had yet to peel I would find it rather embarrassing to go to the meeting on the 21st.
I’m sorry to bother you with all these numbers but I’m really unsure. Thank you again.
Oh! You’re no bother at all, Kit. I’m happy to help.
I can certainly understand your concern here. Everyone’s face does react a bit differently to the peel. However, if you start on Thursday, you should be okay to go out the following Friday. If I’m reading my calendar correctly, that will be Day 9 of the treatment for you.
As for the change in skin color, most people notice a reddish-brown, mask looking stain on Day Two of the treatment. This is a natural part of the process that occurs due to the dead skin cells rising to the surface forming a layer of dead skin.
Your peeling should begin to occur by Day Three or Four and most of the peeling takes place between Days Four and Six. Based on the feedback I’ve received from folks via this site, some people don’t completely peel until Day 10. Six days is the norm, but this is something to keep in mind as you proceed. However, there is no need to be alarmed if you need a few more days to completely peel. With all this in mind, I’d venture to say that by next Friday your face will have completely peeled and there’ll be no traces of the treatment remaining.
I hope this helps, Kit. Let me know how everything turns out.
Happy Peeling
Linda
Hey Linda. Is it alright if I apply the Normalizer Cream twice a day? Everything is peeling alright but the itchiness and tightness is irritating.
Thanks!
Oh yeah…. and after the peel is complete how soon after and how often can I exfoliate? I use a really gentle, all natural exfoliator so it’s not harsh at all but I really don’t want to over exfoliate if my skin is going to be really sensitive.
Hi Danae,
I’m sorry for the delayed response. I haven’t been able to give much attention to the site over the past few days, but everything’s up to speed now. I hope I’m not too late, though.
To answer your questions…
Yes, the Normalizer Cream can be applied more frequently if the skin feels tight. As for exfoliation, to be on the safe side I recommend that you wait 30 days before you exfoliate again.
I hope this helps, Danae. Let me know if you need anything else.
Happy Peeling

Hi Linda ~
I used to have a lot of acne but now I dont have it anymore as i am using medicine (Benzoy Peroxide) to control it. I now have scar, dead thick skin. On top of that, I have a very oily oily skin. Its kind of look so unfresh face. Do you think that skin culture peel would work for me? As I mention I have a very oily skin, is it hard to peel? thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Xiong,
The Skin Culture peels are supposed to be good for every skin type – even oily skin. They’ve got a number of facial systems for oily skin. If you do try the peel, I suggest you go with one of their systems for oily skin. They’ll come with a few extra products geared toward your skin type to help you get the most out of the peel.
I hope this helps. Let me know how everything works out for you, Xiong.
Happy Peeling
Linda
Linda-
From what i’ve been reading almost everyone stays home for 6 days to avoid sun exposure during the treatment… I just found out about the skin peel today! i have never heard of it and i’m still doing research..
im a 25 year old female with mild acne and im tired of it… i have tried so many things from body detox to topical prescriptions… im still in school and cannot afford to take 6 days off… can i still wear make-up while doing the treatment??? im too conscious about my acne that i cannot go to school (or anywhere) without make up… so should I wait for holidays to do treatment???
thank you!
Hi Maudi,
Thanks for stopping by! I’m glad you found out about the Skin Culture peel. It is one of those lesser-known secrets.
You are right, most people do stay home when doing the treatment. In this case there are two options:
1. Start the 6-day treatment on a Tuesday. By the time your skin starts to peel (which is usually the 3rd or 4th day) you can be at home enjoying your weekend.
2. Wait until you have a holiday break or a vacation (my personal favorite) so you can give your face adequate time to peel without the fear of having to go out in public when you’re not ready to be seen. Because everyone’s face responds differently to a facial peel, some people’s faces are still peeling even after 6 days. The second option allows time for this extended period if you end up being in this category.
I’ve met a number of people who have chosen the second option, especially first-timers. Once you’ve gone through the 6-day treatment at least once, though, you get a feel for how your face will respond to the peel and can plan future treatments accordingly.
As for make up, the folks at Skin Culture recommend that you use no other skin care preparation or make-up during the six day peeling process. Eye-make up and lipstick is okay. However, if you need to wear foundation then you must ensure that it is water-based.
I hope this helps, Maudi. Let me know how everything works out for you, okay?
Happy Peeling

Hi Linda
OK I purchased and received the the Peel 4000. Just a couple quick questions.
If I start my peel on a Saturday night at 9:00PM then I leave on for 90 minutes, after 90 min. I then remove as much as possible and dab with vaseline and cotton pads. Then after 8 hours–and in the morning I wash with cold water.OK I have that figured out now My question is: Do I apply jar 2 of the peel that day in the morning or afternoon or at precisely 9:00PM that night?
I have done the Peel years ago but I forgot the process. I tried to call CS but no answer. I will have to postpone my Peel until I’m sure. Thanks Again Linda and I will be waiting for your much appreciate reply.
Cindy
Linda,
I do apoligize I just noticed I asked this question under the Peel 3000 section under Reviews!
So sorry about that. I will look for you reply here tho! Hope to hear from you asap.
Thank You,
Cindy
Hey Cindy,
That’s absolutely no problem. I can still find your comments quite easily.
I’m sorry you weren’t able to reach Skin Culture. Since they’re in the UK, it was probably late Friday evening or early Saturday morning when you called. I sometimes have a hard time remembering what time it is over there myself.
Anyway, as for the peel, you’ll need to apply it at the same time every time each day you use it. So, if you want to apply it at 9pm tonight, then you’ll need to apply it 9pm for each day you use the peel formula.
I hope this helps, Cindy. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Happy Peeling
Linda
Thank you so much Linda. Thats what I thought but I wanted to be sure. OK then the first peel will be at 9:00PM tonight , wish me luck and I have appreciated all your help, you are terrfic!
Thanks,
Cindy
Hi Linda..
Just wanted to update you on my peel process. I have completed 2 peel jars and tonight will be the 3rd jar. I did this Peel 4000 years ago (I remember speaking with Andrew over the phone) and I just wanted to mention that the peel formula seems to be more solid then it was before (even after letting it set in warm water) Did they change the formulation somewhat? Also My face today after 2 jars is not as dark or tight as it was on my first go around. I wondering if it’s because my skin has changed or the formula is different. I’m hoping the end result will be as effective has the first time.
Anyways, tonight will be number 3 and I will keep you posted.
Thanks again for answering all my concerns.
Cindy
HELLO, I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN USE TO around the eyes dark circles THANKS
Hi Candy,
Thanks for your question.
As far as I know, the peel can’t be used for dark circles around the eyes because the skin in that area is too sensitive for the treatment.
Skin Culture does have a product called Matrix Booster that’s supposed to help with dark circles under the eyes. You may also want to try something like Revitol eye cream. I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard a few people talking about it.
I hope this helps, Candy.
Cheers
Linda
Hi Linda,
I have really bad acne scares along with some acne… I am currently using the product line Ginale, its all natural by Chris Gibson (you have probably heard of it). My acne scares aren’t pitted or anything, but they are red and noticable. I’m only 15 but I am really taking the skin peel 3000 or 4000 into consideration. The only concerns that I have are that I have done a laser treatment in the past for my acne scares and it didnt help at all, in fact I think it made my acne even worse. My point is, i’m pretty sceptical about these things because they always seem to go wrong for me! Honestly, have you heard of the skin peels damaging anyones skin? Get back to me soon!
Thanks
Hi Lake,
Thanks for sharing your story with us here. I don’t blame you for being skeptical at this point, especially considering what you’ve been through.
I have heard of Ginale, but I haven’t tried their products yet. They seem to be pretty good from what I hear. I believe they’re all natural, which is a big plus for lots of people.
Now, here’s my advice to you about the peel 3000 or 4000…
Since you are 15 years old, I highly recommend you avoid using the Skin Culture peel right now. The folks at Skin Culture International actually advise against using the peels if you are under 18. I agree with them. This is largely because your skin is still developing and the peel may be too much to handle at this point. With that said, my best advice would be to consult your dermatologist or doctor for the best course of action. You’ve probably already done that. But it probably wouldn’t hurt to ask about home facial peels. He/she may be able to recommend some milder treatments that are more appropriate.
As far as the peels damaging anyone’s skin, I haven’t heard of such with the Skin Culture products. Now, some people do panic (especially first-time users) when they see the changes their skin goes through during the treatment. It can be pretty horrifying if you don’t know what to expect. However, for the most part, people I’ve met through this site are pretty satisfied with the results. The stories of damage associated with skin peels often arise in cases where people go through a facial peel administered by their dermatologist. Some of these can be quite harsh, which is why they can only be administered by a professional. The Skin Culture peels are approved for home use and are much milder compared to in-office treatments.
I hope I’ve adequately answered your questions, Lake. Let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers

Hi there,
I have acne scarring on my chest and the tops of my shoulders. I’ve tried using topical scar treatments and they help a little bit, but would this peel be safe for my chest? and what about wearing clothing over the skin that is peeling? Will that mess with the treatment?
Hi Maggie,
Unfortunately, the Skin Culture peel is only for your facial area. So, you can’t use it on your chest and shoulders. However, there is a lesser-known product called Skinderma Pro (http://skin-culture-peel-review.com/go/Skinderma-Pro/) that is supposed to be good for removing scars on any pat of the body.
I hope this helps, Maggie.

Hi.I purchased the skinpeel 4000 and experienced drammatic positive results.Complete remission of all my scars and red skin tone.After completing the treatment I came across various negative comments regarding inviduals’ experience but I cannot understand why this product cannot work for anyone!The product is just simply put AWESOME!!
Hi Steve,
Thanks for sharing your positive results. The treatment isn’t for everyone. But when it works, it WORKS!
Unfortunately, it’s human nature to be more vocal about our negative experiences. However, we’ve got a pretty balanced set of feedback here on this site. Some people have negative experiences while others have average results. Then, there’s always people like you who have absolutely amazing results with the peel. I think it’s important to hear from everyone, regardless of their outcome with the treatment. So, thanks again for chiming in with your feedback, Steve.
Cheers

Hello Linda,
I am on day three of the 4 day peel and already the skin is peeling around my chin and mouth area, which is where I wanted the most improvement.
Anyway, I am fair-skinned (of Irish descent) and I have to say, I am very disappointed with the level of peel. It is just like I have had a mild sunburn and the skin has peeled. This is not what I expected. I thought it would get rid of fine lines, enlarged pore etc… but all it seems to be doing is lifting the top of surface, and doesn’t seem like a deep peel at all.
So does it get better than this? Are there a number of layers of peeling or just one peeling?
I’ve read above that if the skin is peeling, not to put another layer on, so I suppose as I am peeling on Day 3, I won’t get to do a Day 4 peel.
Is this all I can expect?
Thanks for your time.
Hi Seasider,
Thanks for posting your questions and your results thus far. I’m sorry to hear you’re disappointed with the level of the peel. Generally, everyone’s skin responds differently to a facial peel. So, you can see varying results across multiple users. This also means that some users may require additional treatments to get the ultimate results they desire while others may reach satisfaction after just one treatment.
It sounds like you went with the peel 3000 treatment. The peel 4000 kit actually provides the deepest level of peeling. Plus, the peeling formula itself doesn’t actually penetrate into the dermis but it does peel layers of the epidermis. The peel 3000 goes three layers deep into the epidermis and the peel 4000 goes four layers deep. So, while you can expect a pretty good level of peeling with the 3000 treatment, you’ll get even more with the peel 4000.
In your case, you won’t likely see additional peeling in the areas that have already peeled. However, if you want, you can reapply the peeling formula to the areas that have already peeled, too. This will in effect restart the peeling process for those areas. So, you may get more results for areas where you want the most improvement. In the past, I’ve discouraged people from doing this. But, it actually won’t cause any damage. So, if you want to apply more of the peeling formula to to your chin and mouth areas, then you should be fine. Just be prepared to go through some more peeling, which means the treatment will take longer than initially planned.
I hope this helps. Let me know of you decide to reapply the peel to those trouble areas and let me know how things turn our for you whether you do or not.
Cheers
Linda

Hi Preeti,
Thanks for leaving a comment. I’ll try to answer your questions as best as I can.
According to its manufacturers, the Skin Culture peel is suitable for Indian skin and any other ethnicity. I’m not sure what else to tell you about the product beyond what;s already on this site. But, the major difference between the peel 3000 and the peel 4000 is the number of days you spend applying the peeling formula. With peel 3000 three days of the treatment are spent using the peeling formula and peel 4000 calls for four days.
Most first-time users go with the peel 3000 or the peel 4000. The latter has been shown to provide the most significant results.
If you want to get an idea of what to expect during the treatment, then you can check out this post:

j’ai commencé le peeling skin 3000 sur le visage,je voulais vous tenir au courant et avoir votre soutien parceque les sevices skin culture en belgique ne repond jamais aux appels,ni aux messages

merci de me repondre,c’est assez urgent
merci linda
Bonjour Nawel,
La rougeur et l’enflure peut être un signe d’une réaction allergique à la peau. Si elle ne disparaît pas en quelques jours, puis contactez votre médecin. Dans la plupart des cas, on vous dira de prendre quelques Benadryl ou donné une crème topique pour réduire le sweling et des rougeurs.
J’espère que cela aide.
- Linda
merci
aujourd’hui je suis au 2 eme jour du peeling sur mon visage, je suis rouge et mon visage est tout enflé, ca me démange un peu
je me demande si je dois continuer le traitement et mettre le 3 ème pot ou je doit mettre la creme normalizer et laisser tomber le 3 eme pot de creme??
merci de me repondre
je suis très inquiete linda
je n’ai que vous pour me renseigner
Bonjour Nawel,
On dirait vraiment que vous êtes allergique à un ou plusieurs des ingrédients dans la formule de Peel. À ce stade, il est préférable d’arrêter le traitement et consultez votre médecin. Votre médecin devrait être en mesure de vous donner quelque chose pour faire face à la réaction allergique.
Vous pouvez aussi vous adresser à la division Skin Culture International Belgique. Puisque vous n’avez pas été en mesure de les obtenir par téléphone, vous devriez essayer de leur envoyer un e-mail. Voici leurs coordonnées:
Téléphone: 00 32 2 652 0107
Courrier électronique: servicesclientele@skinculture.com
Que vous décidiez ou non de contact avec la peau de la culture, je vous recommande fortement de consulter votre médecin pour obtenir un allégement de la réaction allergique.
J’espère que cette aide, Nawel.
- Linda
merci linda
je ne sais pas comment vous remercier de repondre a mes questions
aujourd’ hui j’ai le visage rouge brunatre, mai un peu gonflé,j’ai mis la creme normalizer et la je pele au niveau de la bouche,par contre en dessus de la peau qui pèle,la peu est rouge, est ce que c’est normale?
j’ai recu à avoir skin culture en belgique qui m’a conseillé de faire un peeling 2000 au lieu de 3000.
c’est ce que j’ai fait,j’ai aplliqué que 2 pots cerat et aujourd hui j’ai mis la creme normalizer.
le conseiller skin culture m’a dit que chez certaines personnes le visage peut enflé un peu et que c’est normale..
qu’en pensez vous?
je peux pas aller chez le medecin aujourd hui c’est férié en france,personne ne travaille.
est ce que vous avez déja rencontré des personnes allergique aux produits skin culture?
est ce que ces personnes ont finalement retrouvé un visage normale après l allergie?
j’ai peur d’etre brulé au visage
merci de me repondre le plus tot possible
merci linda
Bonjour Nawel,
Je suis heureux d’entendre que je pouvais aider de quelque façon. Je suis également heureux e entendre que vous étiez en mesure de parler avec quelqu’un de Skin Culture. Il semble que pour conseiller vous a donné quelques bons conseils.
Un peu de rougeur, démangeaisons, gonflement et qui dure pendant quelques jours est normal lorsque vous utilisez le zeste. Toutefois, si elle qu’empirer et dure plus de quelques jours, il est souvent le signe d’une réaction allergique. Sans voir votre peau ou de savoir combien de temps les symptômes durent depuis, il est souvent difficile pour moi de dire si quelqu’un a une réaction allergique ou tout simplement l’un des symptômes communs.
J’ai tendance à dire aux gens de consulter leur médecin juste pour être sûr. De plus, la plupart des gens de panique quand ces choses se produisent. C’est aussi pourquoi je parle aux gens de Skin Culture. Ils savent beaucoup plus sur la peau que moi et peut être beaucoup plus utile.
Si vos symptômes se sont améliorés, je ne pense pas qu’il sera nécessaire de consulter votre médecin.
J’ai seulement rencontré quelques personnes qui sont allergiques à la peau. Mais j’ai rencontré des gens qui l’expérience d’un peu de rougeur et gonflement pendant quelques jours, mais il va finalement loin.
Il n’y a pas besoin de s’inquiéter de votre visage brûlé. La peau n’est pas assez fort pour le faire. Maintenant que vous utilisez la Crème Normalizer, vos symptômes devraient s’améliorer au cours des prochains jours.
J’espère que cette aide, Nawel.
Vive
Linda
merci pour vos réponses linda,vous faites un excellent travaille sur ce site
bravo
voila mon visage a bien pelé, je suis contente de retrouver un visage normale parceque j’ai eu peur durant ces 6 jours.
C’était assez éprouvant mais je suis contente grace a Dieu que tout c’est bien terminer
j’ai encore une petite question, est ce que je peux me laver le visage tout de suite après avoir terminer de pelé? après que la peau est pelé,je sent que mon visage est très gras et sale,j’ai meme quelques boutons sur le front, je crois que j’ai trop mis de creme normalizer,c’est ce qui ma rendu la peau grasse peut etre.
est ce que je peux faire un gommage pour enlever cette excedent de gras sur le visage?
et au bout de combien de temps je pourrai me maquiller,mettre du fond de teint?
et est ce que je peux mettre ma creme anti acné après le peeling 2000 que je viens de faire ou faut attendre?
Bonjour Nawel,
Je vous remercie pour vos aimables paroles. Je suis heureux d’entendre les choses vont beaucoup mieux pour vous.
Oui, la crème est assez grasse Normalizer. Elle peut conduire à une évasion peu. Dégagement également se produire en raison des impuretés que la peau des extraits de votre peau.
Une fois que votre visage est complètement pelée, vous pouvez reprendre votre routine habituelle de soins de la peau. Cela inclut laver votre visage avec vos nettoyants réguliers ainsi que l’application de crèmes anti-acné et les cosmétiques que vous aimez à l’usure.
La seule chose que vous devez être très prudent au sujet pendant les 30 premiers jours après votre peau a pelé est le cousues. Soyez sûr de porter un écran solaire qui est d’au moins IP30.
J’espère que cela aide.
Cheers
Linda
merci
est ce que c’est normale d’avoir le visage un peu rouge et très fin?
excuse moi encore avec toutes ces questions mais je n’ai que toi pour me renseigner….
est ce que je dois mettre un écran solaire même à la maison ou juste quand je sort dehors??
merci de me répondre linda
bisous
Hey Linda,
i cant leave the house without a full face of foundation and even to the gym i have to wear foundation… if you could email me your email, i would love to send you a picture of what my skin condition currently is so that you can judge for yourself and let me know if you’d recommend the product.
im 17 turning 18 in october and was planning on buying the Peel 2000. i have been suffering from acne for about 2 years now, and it has severally caused my self-esteem to drop..
well, i still get break outs all the time, and ive been using Pro-active which has definitely helped me control my acne A LOT. and i dont know if anyone else gets this, but with proactive, i find that it creates this “snake-skin” like layer over my skin, like it constantly looks glossy and comparing to when i used to have great complexion, it just does not feel or look like skin. (if any of what i said make any sense..)
so basically, id like to know if you would recommend the product for me or not? and also, when on the peel program, does this mean i should NOT use proactive during that period?
Thanks.
Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for sharing your story here. I’m sending you an email from my personal address so you can send back the pics. I hope I can help.
As for Proactiv, I know what you’re talking about. It was always quite drying for me. When you’re doing the peel treatment, you absolutely need to stop using Proactiv. The Skin Culture peel and other skin products don’t play nice together. So, it’s advisable to suspend your normal skin care regimen while doing the the treatment. But you can resume after your face has peeled completely.
I hope this helps, Cheryl.
Cheers
Linda
Hi , Linda I wanted to ask if the skin culture peel 3000 is suitable for peeling off pigmented skin nd leaving new fresh skin behind I am Asian a Medium fair skin tone and it is just 6 days isnt it it doesnt take longer for new skin to return does it ?
I have this long oval sized pigmented patch on my cheek and its visable to me and embarssing I also have rough skin which is slightly pigmented on top of my upperlip and my Left eye lid ??
I wanted to know if its suitable to be usen on eyelids or will it do to much damage ?
My skin tone is similar to the bollywood actress Lara dutta
Please let me know
thank you
Hi Aileen,
Thanks for your questions. Let me see if I can help.
The Skin Culture peel is made to help get rid of hyper-pigmentation. So, the peel 3000 may be a good choice for you as most first-timers start with that one or the peel 4000.
Even though Skin Culture says the process takes 6 days, a number of people I’ve met here have reported needing 10 days or more to completely peel. This all depends on how one’s skin reacts to the peel. So you just kinda have to find out what works for you. Doing the full skin patch test will give you a really good idea on how long it will take for your entire face to peel.
As for using the peel on the eyelids, you should absolutely never do that. The skin on your eyelids is way too sensitive to handle the peeling formula.
I hope this helps, Aileen.
Happy Peeling
Linda
I asked for a trial of the Ginale Skin Care. They wanted an email to confirm that I still wanted it but since I read more on the product, I didn’t want it. They sent it. I tried it.And it was a FREE trial for 2 weeks. In 6 days apparently they charged my account $159. I emailed 10 times and got a call for a return number 10 days ago and sent the product back at that time. So I used it for 6 days,did not like it and I would not endorse this product to anyone. My $20 peel works just as well.
