Kellie

It depends on the client and the procedure / facial but...

Medical facial - I use acetone but VERY rarely. 99% of the time it is a pH balanced alcohol / H2O mix at 30% / 70%. Acetone is just too much for the skin and too much alcohol smells on the stronger side.

I use Glotherapeutics peel prep but you could also use something like Skin Scripts Glycolic retinol pads or control correctives Exfo tonic.

I use GLYMED PLUS' AHA or Lactic Pretreat. They am up my peel, and I feel they are a great indicator of what's to come with the actual peel.

I use 2 cleansers by Sanitas lactic cleanser and enzymatic lactic cleanser. The second one gives a tingling like the peel pretreat. It really cranks up a good peel.
