I found that the product was so so.BUT,then I warmed it up in a small glass container with hot water in a larger bowl.Wow,it doubled the results.Now,I am impressed with it.And,I think I will give other products a try,except Vit C.
Please be very careful if you try this method.
Hmmm, warm emu. Sounds good to me.I have mature skin,and it is not sensitive.
I just love experimenting.

Linda,
How warm did you have the peel before you used it? I am thinking of ordering this peel along with the PSF acne mask. The JB peel did nothing for me- good thing I bought the small size! |

Hi Canadian Girl,
I got it very warm,but,tested on my wrist before I put it on my face.Maybe have a damp cloth handy,just in case. I have tough skin.So if you are sensitive,it might be too much for you.
I hope you love the product and it gives you wonderful results.

Shantel,
Did the flaking eventually go away? And have you used the pumpkin peel again with the same results? I ordered a sample of this and our skin sounds about the same, so I am wondering if I should expect similar results. Also you mentioned HA and emu oil afterwords...why did you use those as your follow up? I am wondering what I should expect to have to do with my skin after the peel and if this is a good calm down, etc. Thanks!  |

I gave in and decided to order the PSF pumpkin mask. I had tried the Sephora brand pumpkin mask and it made my face quite red. I have also used the JB apple peel and liked it but didn't find it was my HG for peels. So I went on the PSF website and decided to order a sample of it so I wouldn't spend too much $$ if my skin doesn't respond well to it. Of course I ended up buying a whole bunch of samples which cost way more than the regular size of the Pumpkin peel would have....lol. But this way I get to try out a whole bunch of things and only buy the full sizes of the things I like! HAHA! The things we do to rationalize our purchases.
Anyway, I should be getting my samples soon so I'll post some reviews as I go through them. I'll try to leave a bit of time in between samples so I'll have a better idea which ones are making the fabulous difference I'm hoping to see in my skin! |

Yes, please do post your reviews .
Since I started using the PSF mask again my face doesn't seem to sting as incredibly as it did before (a couple of months ago) and make my face as red afterwards. Either it's lost it's punch b/c it's been sitting in my fridge for 6 months (  ) (has it been that long already?!) or my face is less sensitive after using Zenbiotic products... |

Whoa, I thought my pumpkin peel lost it's oomph,too, after I quit Zenbiotic. I thought maybe it just went bad. I guess it was ZB making me less sensitive. (of, course you lasted much much longer than me.) |

I got it last 2 weeks.
When I applied it at first time, I felt it too strong for me.
I felt like a burn, I had to wash out immediately. 
Nowadays, I still keep it and apprehensive to apply it again.  |

How long do you do the patch test and what do you all apply after you use the peel? Thanks!  |

Here's the directions from PSF's site:
"Use once to twice weekly. Apply to freshly cleansed, dry skin. Apply in a thin even layer. Avoid eye & lip areas. Leave peel on for 5 minutes, then remove with warm water & soft washcloth. Remove all traces of peel product, then tone & moisturize. It is highly recommended to follow this peel with an FDA approved sunscreen to prevent re-pigmentation due to sun exposure. Not recommended for sensitive skin types."
So I would patch test for 5 min. |

| Thanks amnis...that is what I did and then immediately used the peel and I really liked it. I can't tell what it did but I felt like I had a glow...I will see how the improvement goes with the rest of the sample. |

I patch it about 3 min.
Actually, I could not resist to use immediately when I got it. 
After peel, My face was red for a while and had nothing. 
During that time, I washed out within 1 min because I felt like a burn. 
But the burn did not as same as when I peel by AHA at beauty center. |

Oops, meant Pure Skin Formulations. Cut my finger last night that I cut a nerve, so I have a numb finger right now and my typing sucks. |

| I tried a sample of the pumkin enzyme mask, not knowing that it is not recommended for sensitive skin. It didn't take many seconds before I had to rush to the sink to wash it off again - it burned! This was not a nice tingly feeling, it was a nasty, "get-it-off-me" burning sensation which took ages to subside, and left my skin red and feeling tender. There is a reason why this is not recommended for sensitive skin, and I would seriously recommend patch testing this on a small section of your facial skin if you have sensitive skin and still want to try it. |

Sound it so sad for me.
Actually, when I tested with my arm, it was ok.
It is very pity for my money. |

Yulia, how long did it take for the redness and tenderness to go away? I was thinking of trying this, but my skin is sensitive to some products so I am a bit hesitant. |

I'd be careful, as stated before, if you have sensitive skin. I've used my sample 3 times so far and 1 time it didn't feel like it was doing anything and another time it felt equivalent in "bite" to the JB apple peel, the third time I used it there really was noticeably greater burning quality to it.
Since I only have a sample I can't review it very well but I'd say it is as good as or better than Juice Beauty (which I have had as a full-size). Your skin feels glowy and smooth afterwards for at least a day or two.
I'm 43 and I'd say it was definitely a valuable option for my age group. |

| Hi Diana P, the intense burning started to fade soon after washing the mask off, but the burning and redness lingered to a lesser degree for an hour or so. Maybe "ages" was a slight exaggeration... |

I got this peel a few weeks ago and have now used it 3 times. The first time I didn't put too much on and let sit for 15 mins- it did sting a bit. I thought it only made a slight difference in my skin. The next 2 times, I really layered it on, and left it on for 30 mins, and then rinsed off- but used really warm water. The warm water caused the peel to sting a bit more- but my skin is pretty tough so it isn't too bad for me. But the results were great. My skin was immediately smoother and brighter.
I think the warm water really activated the peel somehow, and like linda suggested earlier, next time I will warm the actual peel first and then put it on.
