I Tried an At-Home Peel With Brilliant Results

The peel definitely created some tingling, which got pretty intense about three minutes in (nothing unbearable though) before tapering off greatly after five minutes. The feeling was very similar to pro-level peels I've had done in clinical settings so I knew good things were happening.

The instructions say to wait for 10 minutes, which I did. Then I used a gentle hydrating cleanser to rinse the mask away. (I'm currently fangirling over Kiramoon's Silkie Rinse, $28.) Although the mask dries down completely and doesn't leave a film like some products do, you still need to remove it after 10 minutes.
