Product Description
Lactic acid comes from sour milk. An ideal skin softener, lactic acid is frequently used by dermatologists to cut through thick, rough skin. Lactic acid works both as an exfoliator as well as helps hold water within the skin. Being a natural ingredient and a natural constituent of the human body, lactic acid is much milder on the skin than other peels. It is a superior exfoliant and possesses special features (e.g. skin lightening, moisturizing and skin rejuvenating). The use of Lactic Acid will help to stimulate and speed skin cell turnover on the surface of the skin, thereby producing more vibrant and smoother-looking skin. In the deeper layers of skin, new collagen and elastin will be stimulated and the skin will actually become thicker, tighter and firmer. The use of Lactic Acid will help to stimulate and speed skin cell turnover on the surface of the skin, thereby producing more vibrant and smoother-looking skin. In the deeper layers of skin, new collagen and elastin will be stimulated and the skin will actually become thicker, tighter and more firm. The Lactic Acid Peel Kit is the concentrated gel like the professionals use, and will give you 15-20 peels!

This product definitely works, a little too well. I do suggest purchasing this product, however, I'd like to give a little warning to anyone who's interested. The company was nice enough to send a trial size version of their salicylic acid product along with this peel. They suggest using it a few days before doing the lactic acid peel, so that the l. peel works better. Well, my experience was not pretty...I did the s. peel about 4 days before the l. peel. I loved the outcome I got from the s. peel but once I did the l. peel I looked like I had burned my face off for about 3 days. I couldn't laugh, smile, make any facial expression whatsoever without pain. I'm not sure why I had such drastic results b/c according to the instructions that's exactly how they suggest using it. I only left the l. peel on for about 25 secs. This stuff is really strong so I would advise you not to use the s. peel first. Do one or the other and see how you react to it first. Then wait a lengthier amount of time in between both (definitely more than a week). All in all I was pleased with the results- it does do what it says it will but you have to be careful and check your skin sensitivity first. I hope this helps you avoid a few days worth of hiding in your house so no one sees the red, peeling remnants of your face ;)

I was expecting some results with this peel after reading so many positive reviews. However, I was disappointed, there wasn't any peeling, no tingling, no visible results. I have fair, normal skin, early 30's.

I've been purchasing and using this product for several months now, and with great succuss: I offered communication to Skin Laboratory regarding
the pre/post preparation for optimalizing the benefits of this peel
product... The skin should be cleaned prior to applying the peel
(with nitrile or vinyl gloved hands) with DISTILLED water, and
it should be removed with DISTILLED or highly purified water
only (not just water straight out of the tap).
Skin Laboratory has no way of qualifying the immediate tap water supply
for any of the possible numbers (at different geographical locations)
of persons who might purchase this item: here at San Diego, the tap
water is suffering hard mineral elements of calcium, magnesium and
now 'flouride'... Whatever is traveling along with the water at
various locals could drastically reduce the results of the
lactic acid peel, or could cause an unhealthy or counter-
productive chemical mess on the surface of the epidermal.
It's not hard to heat some distilled water to pour into
a plastic bucket for setting into the shower area
moments before starting the peel application;
cold distilled water can also be set at
the removal area...
(I use the shower stall with the tap turned off: I repeatedly dip a steril cotton washcloth into the warmed distilled water for washing,
then dump the cold over my head and all, "surfer" style for a
thorough post application rinse.)

I bought this product with some trepidation as I heard of chemical peels gone bad on different television shows. I have only used the lactic acid one time on my arms and have notice one scaly lesion starting to peel. I happened to not have any ill effects even though I left it on my arms for 3 hours. This may be due to the thickness of my skin layers on my arms.
One thing is that the seller of this product is more responsible than some of the other vendors. He included extensive directions on the use of the lactic acid unlike another vendor I had bought from.

I hoped the product would bring a quicker result. However, I am seeing changes of my blemishes fading the more I use the product. Overall not too bad at all.
