Platinum Skin Care As Seen In
Professional-Grade Jessner's Peel
This certified medium-depth peel pairs 14% Salicylic, 14% Lactic, and 14% Resorcinol at pH 2.0. Built for heavy congestion and stubborn breakouts, with about 3-4 days of downtime.
Dark Spots & Sun Damage
Fade Stubborn Pigmentation
Resorcinol is mainly used for its lightening properties, which make Jessner’s a go-to peel for dark spots, sun damage, and age spots. Builds up layer by layer to work on stubborn discoloration.
Breakouts & Congestion
Clear Out Clogged Pores
Jessner’s suits oily, breakout-prone skin. It clears open and closed comedones, blackheads, and whiteheads. It also works on back and chest breakouts and deep cystic blemishes.
Scars & Texture
Smooth Rough Texture
Jessner’s removes multiple layers of dead skin at once, which speeds up cell turnover. That helps smooth rough texture, soften shallow acne scars, and refine the look of fine lines.
Body Peeling
Treat Body Spots Too
Use it beyond your face, on the chest, back, hands, and arms. It targets stubborn spots and friction-related darkness wherever they show up.
Why People Choose Jessner’s
A go-to peel for dark spots, sun damage, and breakouts. Simple, layerable, and suited to deeper skin tones. Four reasons why.
Self-Neutralizing
Jessner’s needs no water or buffer to neutralize. It stays active on your skin until you rinse it off.
Three Acids, One Peel
Salicylic Acid targets breakouts, Lactic Acid smooths texture and dryness, and Resorcinol fades dark spots, all in one treatment.
Built for Layering
Use it as a pre-peel before TCA, or add a booster like Dream Peel or Luminosity. Try each acid solo first.
Safer for Darker Skin Tones
Jessner’s is safer than TCA for olive and darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) when pre-treated with a melanin inhibitor.

Visible Results That Build Over Time
Every peel follows the same pattern: pink and tight on Day 1, peeling that often starts between Days 2 and 4, and a finish by Day 6-7. Here’s how the series builds.
Begin with 1-2 layers and see how your skin responds. With one layer, you may not see any visible flaking, and that’s okay. This peel is about learning your skin. Wait 2 weeks after 1 layer before your next peel.
Peel 2
Build one step.
Skin may turn dry and leathery, and peeling often starts around the mouth, chin, and nose. This is where old skin starts to make way for new.
Peels 3-6
Keep building.
Work up slowly, and don’t go past 5 layers without gauging your skin at each stage. At 4-5 layers, wait 4-7 weeks between peels. Results are cumulative, so each peel builds on the last.
Peels 7-8
Finish the series.
Work up slowly, and don’t go past 5 layers without gauging your skin at each stage. At 4-5 layers, wait 4-7 weeks between peels. Results are cumulative, so each peel builds on the last.
After the Series
Keep it going.
After your series, many people move to a monthly or quarterly peel regimen to maintain their skin over time.
Never pull or tug at peeling skin. It can cause damage and scarring. Wear SPF 50+ outdoors for at least a week.

How to tell real frosting from "fake frost" with a simple wet-cloth test, why this peel is safer than most for pigmentation, and what to actually expect on the days that follow.
Proven. Safe. Certified.
Every Platinum Skin Care peel is backed by real ingredient science, safety testing, and industry certification, not just marketing claims.
Proven: The Three Acids
Jessner's isn't built around one acid with supporting players. It's three acids at equal 14% strength, each with a distinct job. Salicylic Acid works inside the pore to help clear oil and buildup. Lactic Acid exfoliates the surface while helping skin hold onto moisture. Resorcinol targets the look of stubborn dark spots, sun damage, and uneven tone. Together, they visibly improve congestion, texture, and pigmentation in a single treatment.
Proven: The Formula Base
SD Alcohol carries the three acids evenly through the solution, so every layer you apply delivers a consistent concentration. It's also responsible for the peel's signature white, powdery crystallization as it dries, a normal part of how the formula works, not a filler ingredient with no purpose.
Safe
Jessner's is certified at a precise pH of 2.0 for consistent, predictable strength every time. The formula contains no unnecessary fillers. Every order includes prep guidance (Peel Prep B), patch-test instructions, and a structured layer-building protocol so you always know your next safe step.
Certified
Platinum Skin Care is Leaping Bunny certified and completely cruelty-free. Every Jessner's Peel order includes the Certified Chemical Peel Instructions manual, so you have professional-grade guidance in hand before you ever apply your first layer.
Jessner's Peel — The Platinum Difference
You can find Jessner’s Peel from other sellers, often with the same three acids and similar percentages. What sets ours apart is the lower pH, clear layer-by-layer guidance, and a team and community you can turn to when you need help.

How to Use Jessner's Peel
Four steps from prep to rinse.
First time? Grab your Peel Manual for safety and patch-test steps.
Step 1:
Cleanse & Prep
Cleanse your skin, then wipe with Prep B to remove surface oils. Let your skin dry completely.
Step 2:
Apply
Protect your eyes and other mucous areas with Vaseline or Aquaphor first. Then use gauze to apply a thin, even layer. Start with 1 to 2 layers on your first peel.
Step 3:
Time It Carefully
Leave it on for at least 4 hours. It’s self-neutralizing. A strong sting is normal and can last 10-15 minutes. White powder is dried salicylic acid, not frosting. If skin frosts, stop adding layers.
Step 4:
Rinse & Soothe
Rinse thoroughly, then apply a soothing oil or moisturizer. Wear SPF 50+ daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many layers should I use?
Start with 1 layer for your first peel. Once you've completed that safely, you can gradually add one layer at a time over the following months, up to 2–3 layers. 4–5 layers are for highly experienced users only.
Will I actually see visible peeling?
It depends on how many layers you use. With 1 layer, you may see little to no visible flaking. With 2–3 layers, peeling is usually more noticeable and may begin around day 3.
What does the application feel like?
Expect a strong, spicy burning sensation, often compared to hot pepper juice on your lips. It usually fades within a few minutes.
What's the white powder that shows up during application?
As the peel dries, the Salicylic Acid can crystallize and leave a white, powdery residue. This is sometimes called “fake frost” and isn't the same as true skin frosting.
Does this help with dark spots and uneven tone?
Jessner's can help improve the look of dark spots, sun damage, age spots, and uneven tone. Resorcinol is the ingredient in the formula that focuses on pigmentation.
How long do I leave it on?
Jessner's is self-neutralizing. Leave it on for at least 4 hours, then rinse thoroughly.
How often can I use Jessner's?
Wait at least 2 weeks after a 1-layer peel, 2–4 weeks after 2–3 layers, and 4–7 weeks after 4–5 layers before your next treatment.
Can I use this with a TCA peel?
Jessner's can be used as a prep layer before TCA in advanced peel protocols. This is not a beginner technique. Read the Chemical Peel Booklet and follow the recommended protocol before combining peels.
Can I make the peel stronger?
Advanced users may combine Jessner's with other peel products, but this isn't something to try on your first treatment. Follow the product-specific instructions and don't increase treatment intensity until you've safely completed your previous peel.
Can this be used on the body?
Jessner's can be used on areas such as the back and chest. Body treatments may require different application guidelines, so follow the instructions provided for the specific area you're treating.
I'm allergic to aspirin. Can I use this?
No. Jessner's contains 14% Salicylic Acid, which is related to aspirin. If you have an aspirin allergy, don't use this peel.
I have a sensitivity to prescription-strength brightening ingredients. Can I use this?
No. If you have a known sensitivity to prescription-strength brightening ingredients, don't use this peel.
Is this safe during pregnancy or nursing?
Do not use Jessner's while pregnant or nursing. If you're unsure whether this peel is appropriate for you, speak with your healthcare provider before use.
Is this safe for deeper skin tones?
Jessner's can be used by people with deeper skin tones, but extra care is important because some skin types are more prone to dark marks after irritation. If you're prone to dark spots, pre-treat with a brightening serum for 4 weeks before your first peel.
