Product Description
Level 1) Glycolic/35, Lactic/35, Salicylic/20
Level 2) Glycolac/60, Lactic/50 - Twice as strong as L1
Level 3) Glycolic/50, Lactic/70, BHA+, HQ+ - Twice as strong as L2
Choosing a Peel:
Glycolic: stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. It's small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25% thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid generally causes little or no visible peeling.
Lactic: works on the surface of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate surface cells which helps to perfect the skin's surface and restore the skin's natural glow.
Glycolac: With a combination of Glycolic (25%) with Lactic (35%), it provides hydration and tone improvements of the Lactic, with the increased collagen stimulation of the glycolic. It is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels or the skin.
Salicylic: a great kertolytic which means it helps loosen the bonds between skin cells to promote exfoliating. It is the only hydroxy acid which is oil soluble which allows it to penetrate into clogged pores. It can be used more frequently than the other peels without must risk for irritation.
BHA+: Hands down the best peel for acne and oily skin. You should expect some visible flaking of the skin 2 days after using the peel. This will help with active acne blemishes as well as old acne marks, and a variety of other skin problems.
HQ+: This peel is best for pigmentation and acne scarring. Similar to our BHA+ peel, with added ingredients which to help to fade pigmentation differences and even skin tone. If you suffer from old acne marks, age spots, or melasma, this peel will be the most effective in helping you.

 great product March 12, 2010

I've had acne since age of 13. Now 44. Recently it has become worse. First time using this product my acne became worse then improved. I use this on Monday and use the TCA peel on Wednesday. My acne has improved alot, my skin is getting better every week I use this. I have been using the TCA peel 4 months before. TCA peel seems to work better with the Salicylic acid peel. I wished that I have known this along time ago.
Immediate, noticeable improvement March 7, 2010

My middle-age skin was in need of a wake-up. I hadn't had a professional facial in about 4 months, and I really didn't want to drop $100 on another, so I tried this. Good choice for immediate results.
My main issues -- congested skin, big pores. I saw immediate improvement after only two applications for a minute or so. I was definitely in need of help, and this product helped. It also is helped to heal a cystic pustule. The only time I saw such immediate improvement on one of these was when I resorted to steroidal shots to heal a nagging one.
Money well spent in my opinion.
 Not impressed... March 6, 2010

I've been using this product for 5-weeks. Honestly, my skin looks the same. The only time I had any peeling was when I got a little peel happy and applied Alpha Hydroxy on off days. YES! I know. Not everyone will experience peeling all the time, and not that I really wanted that. I just wanted...something. Granted, I only spent $18.95. I should have known better. Bah.
 We'll see how it goes... March 5, 2010

First you should know that I have been struggling with acne since I was 12 and have been on everything you can think of and have spent countless dollars on solutions, concoctions, pills that ultimately did not work. I did find some relief while on Accutane, but after 2 rounds of it (2003, 2006). But now, 4 years later, I am still breaking out like I'm experiencing purberty all over again. I decided I didn't want to put my body through the stress of Accutane again and deal with the dangerous side effects. I have so many scars from the acne and new acne continue to appear daily. And being a woman of color, the discoloration of the post acne marks leaves your skin looking horrible. I literally look disfigured. My complexion is so many different shades that I could never leave the house bare faced. I have literally become a prisoner of makeup. To try to help this, I've began to monitor my diet (limited fried foods, dairy, citrus, fats) and increase my amount of water intake in hopes that my skin will notice and clear up. I have yet to see any hope with this plan. So in desperation, I've decided I need to start my skin over fresh. I've had several chemical peels in the past from dermatologist but being a graduate student, I don't have the funds to afford them now. So after doing some research, I found this peel. After reading some awesome reviews, I decided to give it a shot.
I received the 20% salicylic acid on Wed (3/3/10) and decided to use it the very next day (today). I also decided that I would use the peel every other day (3x/week)for 6 weeks before stopping and giving my skin a break. Before I applied the peel, I washed my face with a gentle cleanser using warm/hot water and rinse in cool water. I patted my face with a towel and allowed my face to further dry for roughly 5 min. I applied the peel using a Q-tip and started with my forehead working my way down my face and then to my cheeks. Soon (about 30 sec. into the application) my face began to tingle then burn! I expected this and had a fan nearby. The use of the fan did allow me to stand the peel for approx. 4 min. for the 1st application. I do realize the directions say begin with one min but that just seemed like a waste of time and I could tolerate it for much longer than that, so I did (everyone's face/pain tolerance is different). After I couldn't stand it any more, I rinsed off with cold water. The burning sensation persisted during the rinsing and the towel blotting. It wasn't until I applied Ambi SPF30 face moisterizer that the pain stopped. My face looked the exact same (still acne present and dark spots galore) but my skin did feel noticeably softer. No redness or signs of irritation. What I did notice though, was that the acne that was present was beginning to dry up and become smaller in size. That's a good sign. I repeat I've only used it once so I guess I'll see how it does. I'll check back in 6 weeks when I've had a series of mini peels for a full review.
This stuff works!!! February 6, 2010

I have had problem skin forever. In 2006, I went all out and spent money on a plastic surgeon to remove some scars and then underwent expensive acne treatments in his office. That only lasted as long as I kept going to his office for the treatments. Once I quit going within weeks my skin looked terrible again and the scar came back just a bit. So since then I've had terrible skin. I was willing to spend so much money on it and I just tried to deal with my skin condition using over the counter products UNTIL I discovered this Salicylic Acid Peel. It's been 3 weeks since I bought it. And wow, what an improvement in my skin. The scar area is about to fall off right now. My pores are significantly smaller. My oily skin isn't oily anymore. The overall condition of my skin is such an improvement. Just in the nick of time too because I have an important event coming up and I will look great in my new skin. This stuff works. Try it out and see your skin condition clear up and improve overall. I have one wrinkle in between my forehead which I haven't had luck getting rid of but I'll continue to apply this and see if it improves. I'll keep you posted. Best product I've found on amazon.com.
