Tried this today and I must say it is wonderful, thank-you Nanci!!
I put the recommended amount on my face for about 3 or 4 minutes and had a very mild sting sensation but the great news is there was absolutely no redness when I rinsed the peel off.
My skin had such great clarity, and was very soft.
I would absolutely recommend NCN Pumpkin Peel over KIAJ.
It is much milder on the skin yet gives much better results.
One other great thing, the Pumpkin Peel is so much less expensive than KIAJ! |

No, thank YOU mishie! I can't tell you how wonderful that makes me feel. I've met so many incredibly beautiful women through EDS - I love and appreciate each and every one of you! |

Rather than starting a new thread I want to comment on NCN's CP Accelerator. I love this product from NCN. For several months I have been using Copper Peptides. The CP Accelerator is meant to use in conjunction with CP's. What I love the most about this product is that it has Pearl Powder, Oat Beta Glucans, Maxtril (spelling), DMAE and MSN. Awesome firming qualities. In the past I have tried making my own skin care and came to a quick conclusion that I am no DIYer . It cost me more to make a product then buy one...plus, my receipts never turn out right. I will stick to buying retail.
Now I have to get myself to pull out my Baby Q to use with CP's. I have been rather lazy.
I love NCN's CP Accelerator. NCN being a Medical Facialist has helped me pick some great products for my mature skin. CP's have been awesome for my skin. CP's PM, AlphaDerma AM. Winning combo for me.  |

I'm not using CPs (yet) and I love the accelerator too. I got it because of the great ingredients. It also absorbs very easily which is great for summer. I'm planning to start CPs in the fall.I'm enjoying the peel too. I've tried the PSF and the NCN wins hands down. I'm not irritated in the least but get great results. Smells good too! |

Marina when do you put the accelerator on?
I am currently using Vivier Kine-C and IS Clinical Hydra Cool (hydration and antioxidant)
and then moisturizer.
I also got a very generous sample of the accelerator from Nanci with my Pumpkin Peel and would love to try it just don't know when to use it. |

Mishie,
I use it an night after mandelic acid or Nanci's 15% daily exfoliator. I have too many layers going on during the day though I may try it just before sunblock. It really does sink in & you don't feel it's there after a minute. I apply moisturizer after at night and I have combo skin. The texture of the cream is very light & fluffy. |

Marina thanks for the recommendation, I look forward to using it.
I am just in love with the NCN Pumpkin Peel and anyone who was considering it has to get it you won't be sorry, it really is great! |

Nanci - or anyone who knows!
Can the accelerator be used in the eye area? |

Hi yogi! Yes, I use the CP Accelerator on my eye area and it's working very well. Hope you like it! |

mishie, I would think you could use the Accelerator over Vit. C and Hydra Cool or Vit. C, Accelerator, Hydra Cool. From what I can see the Accelerator will make your other products work even better. What is great is the Accelerator is not greasy at all. You just need a tad of it.  |

Hmmm, this sounds very interesting! How do you use this CP Accelerator? Before, with, or after CPs?
Also, I am very interested in combining the CPs and BQ. How exactly do you do it? My understanding is that you do a BQ treatment and apply CPs immediately after the treatment? (This is how've I used these two in the past). Is this right? And where in this regimen would you use the Accelerator?
Thanks! R. |

Hi Rubby! The CP Accelerator goes over CPs. You can do a BQ treatment and then apply CPs OR some clients are using CP/CP Accelerator and THEN using the BQ (or DPL) with fantastic results. |

Would the CP accelerator be used as a moisturiser in place of emu oil or does it go under emu?
Also, has anyone bothered to do do a half face test with the CP Accelerator yet? I am assuming there must be someone out there as anal about testing effectiveness od stuff as me!  |

Hi guapagirl! The CP Accelerator is hydrating - but it's light so you would have to see if you needed emu oil or not. I would use the emu oil over it if needed. I don't need it but it's humid in CT right now. (Oh, I'm one of the anal ones who bothered to do a half face test and..... after a week I stopped. Hope that says it all.  |

I always apply on the current 'bad' side in the hopes that what ever it is will make an improvement and not worsen it!
I'm guessing it is still too new for full user feedback. I may have to be the UK pioneer on this one  |

I discovered something today that has never happened before.
I have a few red marks on each cheek, they are not scars from acne b/c I never had blemishes on the cheeks, and they are not raised, they just plain red marks most likely a gift from the peri menopause Gods!
Well after using the NCN Pumpkin Peel twice the red marks have disappeared, I am not kidding.
I looked in the mirror ready to apply concealer but there was nothing to conceal the marks have totally disappeared.
All I can say is I have used many high end lines of skincare which most recently consist of Cellcosmet, IS Clinical, Vivier and yet the PP could do what none of these other products could, give my skin clarity, softness and no more red marks! |

I know some people do this, but when I was talking with folks at AdvanThera (manufacturers of BQ), they were very clear that only completely transparent serums can/should be applied to skin before the light treatment. According to them, anything with any colour (even slightly opaque serums) would stop the light from reaching and penetrating the skin.
Any thoughts on this?

I would listen to the experts at AdvanThera. You can always apply the opaque serum after using the Baby Quasar or Quasar SP as I find using the Quasar helps skin suck up product. |

Now THIS would an excellent trial using the half-face test! Use the CPs and CP Accelerator on one side of the face before using the DPL or BQ and on the other side of the face after.
I'm one of the ones who uses the CP/CP Accelerator before the BQ and have been astounded by the increase in visible results. So I'm not likely to start a half-face test at this late date--plus I'd probably forget which side was supposed to be which. LOL
Just my 2¢.
