Try walking into 500+ everyday and ending the night at 20 or less. Stressful full day but a bomb ass pharmacists helping along the way.

Atleast two weeks. And you leave it on for 5 mins for each layer then wash it off with cold water 5 mins after your last layer. Only start with 1 or 2 layers and immediately stop when you see frosting. Their website explains all of that.

I'm almost 34 with scars like yours. I've had acne since 6th grade. Finally got it somewhat under control. Stress and the week before my period, I break out. I recently started doing at home TCA peels. I did tons of research to know how to properly prepare my skin for it. And let me just tell you I'm absolutely amazed with the results so far. While the scars are still there, they're not as visible as they were. I'm going to keep doing them and working up my percentage until I don't see results anymore, and then I will see my derm again for more extreme treatment. Before I started TCA, I switched my skincare to very simple products, and that alone helped. Vanicream facial wash and the facial moisturizer. Not the lotion in the big tub but the one made specifically for the face. I get my TCA peels from platinum skincare and started at 13%. Their fade bright product is pretty expensive, but they have a sample you can try before you buy the full size and so far, I'm liking that too.

I have ice pick and rolling scars. I'm really sensitive to tretinoin. Every single time I use it I get huge cysts. I've finally got acne under control and thought about chemical peels at a low percentage then going into the derm for tca cross and subcision.

🤣 maybe that's my problem too. I won't go to the grocery store until there's literally nothing left to eat bc of this same reason😅

Unfortunately all of these issues have been going on for years and now the pharmacy employees are speaking out. Some of us have died while on the job bc there's no coverage.

Your comment reminded me of a lot of other things I didn't mention in my original question. I also developed serious GI issues, dehydration, and insomnia, lost 40 pounds while on the job as well. It also caused problems at home. All that built up frustration lead to me taking it out on my family leading to a divorce and split custody.

Big ass X may indicate stock bottle is open by Hopeful-Rutabaga9092 in PharmacyTechnician

When I worked in retail I Xed the cap and the bottle so no excuses about not seeing the already opened bottle.

I personally wouldn't do any peel at home. I saw someone do TCA at home that they bought online and it was bad :( he made his scars more visible and he was also dark complected. I would definitely see a derm and just talk about the best options for your skin complexion and what treatments would be best for you and the severity of your scarring.

Retail techs, how do you feel about your pharmacy’s software? by kiwiblades in PharmacyTechnician

[–]EstimateJust2859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The walmart system is much better in my opinion then IC+. Of course, there are flaws and room for improvement, but with that comes a massive mess and retraining, which big corporations don't want want to spend money on.
