Product Description

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.

 Gentle and not too scary to use March 15, 2010
Leanne (San Diego, CA)
This was my first time buying (and using!) an at-home peel, and I have to admit that I was a bit scared when I used it for the first time two days ago. I purchased this one since it said that it is good for evening out skin tone and getting rid of wrinkles, which are my main concerns. The strength of this one is also supposed to be good for starting out. I use Retin-A on a nightly basis so my skin is used to exfoliation, but I didn't want to aggravate anything since I'm prone to redness and sensitivity. I'm hoping to build up to using a TCA peel in a few months, but everything I've read has said to build up to using a TCA peel by using gentler peels first.
The directions that come with this peel are excellent, and alleviated most of my nerves since they are so detailed and covered all of my questions. They call for using gauze pads to apply the peel in a light, circular manner, and that seemed to work well. Since this was my first time doing this, I only left it on for a minute and used a timer to time it. It didn't sting too badly, but I could definitely feel it working.
Since this is considered a lighter, "lunchtime" peel, it didn't cause any actual peeling or flaking. Instead, it got rid of some flakiness and dryness, and has left my skin really soft and hydrated-feeling, especially on my neck. There was no irritation afterwards. It's too soon to notice any difference in my wrinkles, but supposedly that takes a few more peels.
I also made sure to use some emu oil on my face and neck three times a day for two days to heal the skin. Also, be warned that you aren't supposed to use any foundation on your skin for 24 hours after peeling so that it can heal.
I'm planning on doing this once a week for the next six weeks since supposedly that is the schedule that will yield the best results. I will be sure to update my review as I go, but so far this is working great and has left a nice glow to my skin.
Great buy February 20, 2010

I'm very happy w/this product. I started getting acne as an adult, I 've picked at some pimples on my face which left me with darks spots. I bought this to hopefully stop my acne and lighten my dark spots. I can say after using this product only once (just arrived) I can notice a difference. I applied this at night, when I woke up my skin wasn't as oily as it normally is. I only powdered my face once today vs several times while im at work. My face seems smoother, and brighter. I will recommend this to friends and when I run out I will reorder. Love it!!!
 Great.... for the first few weeks January 30, 2010

I really liked this product for the first few weeks. It didn't clear up my acne as much as I had hoped, but my face felt a lot clearer and smoother. After a few weeks though, it seemed as though my face was already used to it and I no longer had those good results I had before.

I used this the night I got it. Delivery was fast and well packaged. I've had a couple stubborn blemishes left over from some pimples a couple weeks ago. I applied the peel to these as directed. One of the blemishes was apparently still a pimple, which almost immediately erupted after the treatment. It has since diminished significantly. The other blemish has also diminished significantly. I will continue to report my experience with this product, but so far I am impressed.
Update [1/12/10]: I developed a pimple on my nose yesterday. I applied the peel as a spot treatment this morning. By tonight, the whitehead flaked off my nose and left behind only a small red area, whereas normally I have to pop my pimples. To add more background... I have been plagued for years with tenacious pimples that wouldn't go away unless I squeezed them. Lately I have been religiously using salicylic acid wipes/washes and hyaluronic acid moisturizer--which significantly reduced my breakouts--and I think this glycolac peel was the missing ingredient. I continue to be impressed! I do want to try applying a full face treatment of the peel, though...
it's so powerful. I love it definetely. December 18, 2009

I used to go to a doctor's skin care for $ 200 of Glycolic peel. It really helped to control my adult acne. But I was getting bored of this same peel(my skin is combi and too oily for other more nourishing treatments) so I chose to get a laser for a change. Too bad. a couple of dollars for nothing. The laser made my skin so dry and took the natural glow away. Then I found this glycolac peel which sounds so good to my acne and aging problem. The price was so affordable and I didn't expect this kind of effect at all. IT WORKED!!!! I HAVE A BLACK AFFECTED AREA, ECZEMA LEFT, ON THE FOREHEAD AND ENLARGED PORES AND ACNE AND BROWN SPOTS UNDER EYES AND SO ON. IT IS THE BEST PEEL EVER I HAD. EASY TO USE AND POWERFUL. YOU CAN SEE THE RESULT RIGHT AWAY. BUT FIRST TIME USERS OF THIS KIND OF CHEMICAL PEELS SHOULD BE CAREFUL. PLEASE GO AND CHECK FIRST WHETHER YOUR SKIN IS NOT TOO SENSITIVE FOR THIS PEEL BEFORE YOU BUY IT.
