Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Worked great and got an excellent peel very quickly. May be a bit stronger than you would think, if you are a first time peeler. (I also used with a .04% Retin A layered on just after) So use in only one or two layers, and that would give you a fine outcome. Expect to start peeling in 30-36 hours. If very thick skin or have undergone multiple peels already, do 3-4 layers..and use the fan on your face. Cheers.
The Jessner's Solution should be applied by experienced professionals only. The solution is applied by gently painting onto the skin and can be layered. The application of this peel progresses from the forehead to the cheeks and, then, to the center of the face and across the chin, upper lip, and nose.
Repeated coats are applied until the white frost develops or until the stinging becomes unbearable. For a deep, effective peel, this usually takes 4 to 6 coats, after which one should continue to fan the face for several minutes until the pain sensation fades.
Rinse thoroughly with cool water and pat dry. A light moisturizer or sunscreen should be worn the days following the peel treatment. Moderate downtime.
It is common to use the Jessner's peel in combination with other peeling solutions, such as Glycolic Acid peels, TCA peels and Retinoic Acid Peels (Retin-A).
Darker skin types (particularly African American) should proceed with caution due to an increased risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from Resorcinol exposure.

Jessner's can be used to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, treat acne and acne scars and to treat photo damaged and aged sun damaged skin. Jessner's peel achieves a more thorough peel than AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peels and is appropriate for patients requiring a deeper peel.

Jessners Solution
Jessner’s Solution, also known as Combe’s Peel, is a medium strength chemical peel combining the diverse efforts of Salicylic (BHA), Lactic Acid (AHA) and Resorcinol. New York Dermatologist, Dr. Max Jessner, originally formulated the solution to reduce the potency and toxicity of each individual ingredient, while enhancing the peel’s overall efficiency.
Available Strength: 14%
Jessners Solution
Are you looking to improve the appearance of your skin? If so, then you may want to consider the Jessner’s Peel. It is a skin peeling solution or treatment that has gained a lot of popularity, which is due primarily to its success rate with a variety of skin textures and types, and its ability to treat numerous skin problems. This includes anything from mild to severe cases of acne, wrinkles and even skin damage due to excessive sun exposure. Jessner’s Peel is fully capable of enhancing and improving the overall appearance of many skin conditions.
A Harmonizing Recipe for Clear Skin
The strength of Jessner’s Peel, much like the TCA Peel, is primarily controlled by the application methods of experienced Professional’s. Jessner’s potency increases with each individual pass (or coat) applied to the skin. The solution is “painted” onto the face in a progressive technique moving from the forehead onto the cheeks, down the center of the face and across the chin, upper lip and nose. Frosting will develop thus indicating the peel’s triumph over dead, dull skin!
Light/Medium Peel: 1-3 Application Passes.
Deep Peel: 4-6 Application Passes.
The Skin-a-Peel
Jessner’s comprehensive blend of chemical agents makes it an ideal solution for individuals with an extensive range of skin conditions. The peel’s three active ingredients perform an intricate balancing act thus encouraging skin rejuvenation on multiple levels. Lactic Acid accelerates the skin’s turnover rate therefore softening the epidermis and stimulating collagen growth.
Oil-soluble Salicylic Acid exfoliates deep within the pore lining to dissolve dirt, sebum and debris that can cause blackheads, whiteheads and enlarged pores. Resorcinol breaks down dead, uneven and rough skin while actively sterilizing bacteria upon contact due to its anti-septic properties. The result is a clear and even toned complexion!
Jessner’s Solution can be used in conjunction with additional peels, such as TCA and Glycolic, to enhance the peel’s full effectiveness.
The Jessner’s Solution or Peeling
The Jessner’s Solution/Jessner’s Peel/Combe’s Peel was presented to the public by a New York dermatologist name Max Jessner. It is a 14% solution consisting of 14% lactic acid and 14% salicylic peel agent with a resorcinol solvent. This is a very strong peeling agent that is known for delivering great results when procedures are conducted properly. Skin tone, wrinkles, acne and fine lines are issues of concern for many people, now there is a peeling solution that’s capable of solving these issues with simplicity and comfort. Although there may be some minor complications like burning sensations, tingling and slight discomfort during the application process, the end justifies the means and it’s a small price to pay for a lifetime of smooth and delicate skin.
It’s a well-documented fact that all human beings need their fair share of Vitamin D and the number one source for it is sun exposure. It helps our body absorb calcium for healthier and stronger bones, but excessive sun exposure or continuous direct sunlight could lead to skin irritations as well. It is for this very reason; Jessner’s Peel has grown in popularity and is showing no signs of digress.
The Jessner’s Solution Works
The success of this skin peeling agent is due to a mixture of substances working in unison to do the peeling. These substances are resorcinol, salicylic acid, and lactic acids. The components are combined for the express purpose of helping to exfoliate the epidermis (outer layer of skin); after a few days, the top layer will naturally peel away. This in essence creates a much clearer and smoother layer of skin underneath. This is also one of the main reasons many people who are victims of sun damage and various cases of acne have turned to the Jessner’s Peel.
How the Procedure is Conducted
Before the procedure is conducted, you should apply a light cleanser to your skin to ensure that all unnecessary oils and dirt is completely removed in order for the various agents, like the salicylic peel agent, can penetrate skin effectively. It’s not uncommon to experience tingling or burning as the solution is applied. Most dermatologists will have a fan or cooling device to relieve any discomfort.
After having the solution applied, cool water will be used for neutralization and removal purposes. Within the next two to three weeks you will experience some flaking; and of course, peeling. During this period of time, your skin will undergo a healing process that will transform your skin.
Besides being an excellent facial treatment, there have also been reports of treating other areas of the body with positive results. In fact, not only is it highly recommended in the field of dermatology, many of them are using the procedure with great success on their patients.
