MystyPines I don't think you will be disappointed. I am just loving this peel and had no adverse effects from it, no sensitivity or redness like I got from KIAJ.
I started out with the smaller size jar just to make sure it was fine on my skin, it is very economical!!

See if you can get a sample of CP accelerater while you're at it. This lightweight cream is so good I'm using it 2X a day. I normally don't like too many layers since I'm combo & it's summer now..so this is something for me. My skin looks brighter & firmer since I've been using it. It's easily absorbed and there's no coated feeling at all.


I think Nanci is sending a sample of the CP accelerator in most orders. I just received one today.

Mishie,

I just ordered the 1 oz. jar of NCN's Pro Pumpkin Peel. Looks like NCN Professional Skincare is in my home state of Connecticut! How convenient! Laughing

Do you know what base the CP Accelerator is in?
I know the daily exfoiliator is a sea kelp base and I love this (can;t get enough) it is firming just on its own, I have just ordered the pumpkin peel and cant wait to get it because it is just started winter, so don;t have to worry about too much sun.

Mardy Bum are you using NCN's 15% Daily Exfoliator?

It says on the site that you can put this over or under CP, what about using this with Vit C in the morning? When do you use yours? Thanks!

Hi mishie
I use the 15% exfoiliator under my CP's as I am not really prone to acne but get the occasional flare up if starting something new in my routine. At the moment I am on my 2nd week with the weakest CPs so am using a dime sized amount once every night and in the morning I am applying my homemade vit c serum then I put on the exfoiliator,them DMAE, purely for the reason I like the feel of the exfoilator and it does feel as though it has some tightening effect. I don't know whether you should use this exfoilator with vit c Rolling Eyes hope this answers your question. Smile

Does NCN offer sample sizes of her pumpkin mask?

I like the PSF one, but I am curious about the NCN mask. I want to try hers before reordering the PSF.

Nanci offers sample sizes of most of her products. She recently revamped her site so the sample page is easier to find. Here's a link: http://www.ncnproskincare.com/skin-care-products/skincare-product-catalog/samples.html

1/2 oz of the 30% pumpkin peel is $13.50US (1oz is $25; 4oz is $85). I have the NCN pumpkin peel (1oz) and love it - a little goes a long way. Enjoy!

I have one more application left of my PSF peel and after I use it, I'll order the NCN. All the raves are too tempting for me to resist!

I have a lot of discoloration from acne, darkened brown and red spots and blotches. The PSF peel helps somewhat, but I hope the NCN has a better effect since it's stronger.

NCNs line gets a RAVE from me!
I've been using: Pumpkin Peel (worked up to 4 min now), SuperCPSerum, CP Accelerator, then BabyQ for 4 min on "red" setting per quarter, and 8 min on "green" to each facial quarter. WoW! My face never looked better!
Absolutely NO peeling, tightness, redness or "uglies" as with other peels I've tried! No panic factor with this one. Very Happy
Thanks for this thread everyone!

Hi does anyone know what the wait time is between applying CP serum and the CP accelerator. This is the first time I am using CP so not sure about wait times etc.

Hi Ninetynine! I just wait a minute until my CP has settled in.

It's just too hard to ingnore all the raves
about this Pumpkin Peel. I just ordered loz.
Can't wait to try it. Thanks ladies! Very Happy

Oh, and NCNs shipping costs to Canada are very reasonable too!

Debster1000, post here after you've tried it. I love it.

I'm a bit crazy and even put some on my lips Shock (not a recommended practice but after I did it by accident and saw how the exfoliation darkened my lip color, etc., I've done it on purpose ever since). Just use common sense and pay attention to the tingle. If it's too much and after 20-30 seconds, it doesn't die down, then wipe the stuff off.

That sounds interesting. I'll try that when it's time for my peel Smile

Debster the shipping to Toronto was more reasonable than shipments within Canada!!

You will absolutely adore this peel and Nanci's customer service is outstanding.

Let us know how you like it when it arrives!

Do I have to stop using retin A for a couple of days prior to using the Pumpkin peel as I am currently using the retin A every second night, and cp's every night.

Mardy, I don't know. I definitely would contact Nanci directly with this question. Let us know what she says.

I'm in Ontario too, and now I'm thinking I should order my CPs from ncn also. (not to mention a ton of other products I have my eye on! Laughing
I'll definitely review the pumpkin peel after I use it.

Hi Mardy Bum! If you don't experience any irritation, redness, or flaking from Retin-A, you don't have to stop using it prior to the peel. Be sure you do the patch test first per the directions. Once you pass that, just take note of the time you leave the peel on - it should only be left on for 3 minutes the first time. If you have any excessive tingling, burning, or redness at any point,rinse it off and follow with a PH balancing, alcohol free toner.

Well, I received my pumpkin peel today. Quick shipping to Canada.
I immediately washed my face and applied it (couldn't wait till tonight - impatient)
I left it on for about 4 minutes. It tingled a bit when I first put it on, but the tingling quickly subsided. After washing it off, my face was a tiny bit pink. I absolutely love, love, love this Pumpkin Peel!
My pores - well - what pores! My face is glowy, and so soft.
This is definitely on my reorder list.
Thanks gals, for reviewing this product, and thanks Nanci at NCN for such a wonderful product and great Customer Service.
