Dancer, I just purchased an at home peel from philosophy. It is two steps, and I loved the sample that I received.

I am too lazy and cheap to have a pro peel, and I do understand that an at home version will not be as intense. But, is it worth it to do an at home?

And, sagging skin..... Is there anything that helps? Remember, I am cheap and lazy. It;s around my mouth and chin that I am beginning to sag. It rather disgusts me and makes me feel old. Any suggestions?

Anno, what product exactly is the Philosophy 2 step peel? Dancer, there are 4 or 5 turnaround products on the sephora page you provided. Is the featured product the one you are recommending? Orchid, I had severe acne too, and my skin was not saved until I was 30. That was about the time that Accutane came onto the market. Also, I was accustomed to using drug store products like Clearisi and Seabreeze, which had lots of detergents. Derma told me to switch to Clinique, and it helped a lot. Like you, I got sick of obsessing about my skin. I actually noticed when I did stop obsessing, it was like, hey, I'm not obsessing about my skin. Although I am obsessed about the use of sunscreen. Since those Clearasil days, over-the-counter products have sure improved, and dermatologist provide their own line or a line they approve of. Dancer, it sounds like you had great skin to work with. Now, what do we do about the neck? Lines, wrinkles, sagging, folds, earlobes, too.

I was recommending the peel that was one the link. It has great reviews from customers.

Let me say again, I recommend FIRST Renova, or Retin A if your skin is oily and both come with a prescription. They are WORTH IT completely. The have to be prescribed because the AMA keeps it's hands on the latest technology and doesn't let it out until it finds a better product. I use Retin A, I have somewhat oily skin but Renova has some moisture in it and leaves the skin beautiful.

The acid in the Clinque product is my second favorite. It seems to work the deepest of the over-the-counter products.

These products can be applied under the eyes, the neck, even the ear lobes.

It's easy to think that one started out with good skin but the fact is that I have several friends that have cared for their complextion for a long time who have beautiful skin. The sooner you start, the less to turn around.

As to tightening, there is a bit of tightening with these products. The only two things I know that tighten with a lot to see are one that is over the counter and tightens with chemicals until you wash it off and says it tightens over time as well. The other is plastic surgery.

Keeping ones weight at a consistant point also helps with the face. If you gain a lot of weight and then loose it, your skin will sag when you are thin. Some say that after 40 you have to choose between your face and your butt, thinking that a bit of weight helps the face stay tight.

But to improve pores, erase thin, small wrinkles and to help discoloration, as well as other benefits, a peeling agent does a lot to help!
