Product Description
Glycolic Acid is a superficial peeling agent that is made from sugar cane. It is often considered the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA). With repetitive and continuous use, improvement to skin tone and texture occurs. Once inside the skin's cell, glycolic acid will serve as a catalyst for the formation of new collagen which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin's surface. Glycolic acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, melasma, actinic keratosis, acne, and oily skin, as well as other cosmetic uses. Our kit provides you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of professional results at home, for a fraction of the cost. What You Can Expect Several layers of surface skin will be exfoliated very quickly... within 10-12 minutes. There is no noticeable peeling, just a sloughing action that will leave your skin feeling smooth and looking refreshed. The dry, dead, glued-together surface sebum that makes skin look dull and clogs pores, will be dissolved and removed. With continued use as directed the skin will look more youthful and vibrant.

Great for blackhead removal. December 1, 2008
S. werkman (Olympia, Wa)
I am thirty and have in the last few years noticed some brown spots larger than a typical freckle. I bought this product to attempt to remove them. The most worrisome for me is the larger spot above my lip (a result from my recent pregnancy that has not yet faded). I have noticed no difference with the spots other than a temporary (few hours) fading then a full return. My skin otherwise has been much clearer, the blackheads and dry skin have disappeared. I may have to use the product for more than 5 minutes or more often than once a week.
I highly recommend this product for oily or acne prone skin, or for light wrinkles. I so far have not seen evidence that it removes stubborn brown spots.

Cat (Griswold, CT USA)
I've used this product about a half a dozen times and I have noticed absolutely no peeling effect what so ever. I leave it on my skin for a full 4 minutes and I haven't even noticed any tingling or burning sensation and exfoliating at all. I use Olay exfoliating products such as their Microdermabrasion and Peel which work far better than this product. I was considering purchasing the Skin Laboratory TCA peel product but now I'm thinking that I shouldn't even bother.
 Pigmentation remover November 15, 2008

I love this product. I suffer from hyperpigmentation and have been using this product for three weeks and I have noticed a great improvement on my pigmentation agreas. The plus to this product is how my face glows. I have only been using it for 2 minutes and I have noticed very little peeling or redness. I have been using this product with DMAE serum and Hyaluronic Serum by Source Naturals and everyone is commenting on how my skin is glowing. Don't know if it is just one product or the combo but for the price of these products I will continue to use them all. Great value.
No difference noted! November 2, 2008
Lola (Chicago)
I'm not a novice to peels. I've used a variety from major brands to boutique ones sold on Sephora. All of them have had a peeling effect to some degree though the glycolic percentage wasn't as high as this product claimed at 35%, so I had a certain level expectation. I was disappointed. Having followed the directions closely, I've used it continually once a week for about a month. (This purchase was my second bottle.) I've noticed no difference in the texture and absolutely no peeling effect. There was no redness, no tingling, absolutely nothing. Therefore, based on the purported claims and the actual experience I had with it, I have to give it 1 star and cannot recommend this product. In fact, I had better results from the Pond's Clean Sweep Daily Cleanser with Glycolic Acid.
Must Have! October 5, 2008

I have noticed reduced pore size, a more even skin tone. Face is not so oily since using this product. I love it!
