If you need to learn more about it first, then follow along with our video. It will show you everything you need to know about TCA peels.

Today I am going to talk about and demonstrate how to properly do a TCA peel. I am going to address what TCA is good for, which percentage to choose, proper application procedure, how many layers to apply, What to expect immediately afterwards, skin needling, after care and also some alternative methods such as a full face peel + CROSS and also layering TCA with other acids. That’s a lot to cover, so lets get started shall we?

First, why TCA?

TCA or trichloroacetic acid, is one of my favorite acids ever. It is great for just about everything, Acne, hyperpigmentation and melasma, wrinkles, and scarring to mention a few.

What makes it so special is the fact that it can be customized for your skin. Unlike hydroxy acids that can only be applied one time and then get rinsed - TCA can be applied in layers.

It can be a mild peel (with only 1 or 2 layers or a very light application) or it can become a very strong peel if we apply the acid heavier or add on more layers. All these options with the same bottle. See the benefit?

How do you prepare for a TCA peel?

You always want to prepare your skin for a TCA peel. We want your skin to be healthy and exfoliated before we apply an acid. Also, if you have more melanin rich skin, we want you to prepare with a melanin inhibitor such as our Fade Bright for at least 2 weeks prior to a TCA peel. This will help to avoid Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. Nothing is ever 100% - but this helps immensely.

The perfect product to prepare your skin with is our Retinol Molecular Serum every evening to even out the skin. I suggest the .20% for most people or the .10% if you are very sensitive. https://www.platinumskincare.com/retinol-molecular-serums-10-20-30/?utm_campaign=Youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_source=organic&utm_content=TCA_Peel_Application_|_Detailed_FAQ_|_Post_&_Prep_|_Layering_|_CROSS

*If you have prescription Tretinoin that is great too! Another alternative would be an acid serum like our Serum 15 or Serum 30. What we DON’T want you doing to exfoliate is face scrubs. When you use a scrub you will press harder in some areas and get an uneven texture. Leave the smoothing to an acid or vitamin A instead.

Then daily protect your skin with antioxidants such as Vitamin C and always wear a broad screen SPF of at least 30 and*preferably 40 or 50.

If you have pigmentation or darker skin, don’t forget to use the Fade Bright 2x per day along with the above mentioned items. This is SO important. https://www.platinumskincare.com/fade-bright-lightening/?utm_campaign=Youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_source=organic&utm_content=TCA_Peel_Application_|_Detailed_FAQ_|_Post_&_Prep_|_Layering_|_CROSS

Which percentage of TCA should I use?

We have 4 percentages of TCA. 7%, 13%, 20% and 30%. We recommend the 7% for those that have extreme sensitivity or want to do the eye area. *See our Eye Peel Video for an explanation and application.
The 13% is generally the best place to start – and that is what I am going to apply today. Once you reach a point where you are applying 5 layers of the 13% regularly and want MORE action, then you can move up to the 20% we carry. The 30% is only for body usage, scar treatment or dilution.
