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 consequences in 15%-25% thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid frequently causes small or no visible coming off.
Lactic: works on the go up of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate go up cells which helps to perfect the skin's go up and restore the skin's untreated 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 frequently well tolerated since the lactic and glycolic work on uncommon levels or the skin.
Salicylic: a fantastic 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 ancient acne marks, and a diversity of other skin tribulations.
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 ancient acne marks, age spots, or melasma, this peel will be the most effectual in helping you.

My skin and I haven't been on language terms for years. Dreadful, brutal, stubborn, disfiguring cystic acne, so cruelly tenacious that I had to go through...yes, count 'em...not one, but TWO rounds of Accutane to rid my self of it, and I STILL get a nice cyst on my back or chest every once in a while. I had pockmarks on top of pockmarks...forehead, cheeks, temples, chin, bridge of my nose even. I despise my skin, I really do. I've gone through 2 deep dermabrasions (through a fake general practitioner, not the micro kind), plus about 30 DEEP chemical peels. My scarring superior a lot.
But qualified options get expensive, and taking weeks at a time off while my skin healed wasn't feasible. So I tried other methods to get rid of the rest of the scarring.
Over-the-counter products like Mederma didn't help. Then as I aged, I got grayish, blotchy, dull, oily-here-wrinkly-there skin to add to my scars.
Lovely.
I've used salicylic acid, makes my skin red and papery. I've used Mederma, not anything.
Sorry for the huge lead in, but I wanted to give y'all a excellent thought of what I was already "facing" (sorry for the terrible pun).
I saw this Skin Laboratories 35% Glycolic Acid peel advertised, chose it certainly couldn't hurt.
Bought it, received it very promptly, followed the simple-to-follow directions, like it. The lifeless, grayish advent of my skin is gone. My smaller scars and pores are much diminished, after only 5 weeks of use, so much so that I can really COUNT the number of scars I have left. (There were so many before, it was a waste of time to count).
I will admit, I bespoke the directions to fit my needs. I leave it on ten minutes at a time. Remember, I am a veteran of strong deep (EXPENSIVE) qualified chemical peels, so my skin is quite tolerant to acid. I don't get a visible see-your-skin-flake-off "peel" from this product either (a touch a few of you have complained about), but that's so much the better! I don't have to miss work for a week at a time to let my skin heal, like with the strong chemical peels. But believe me, the skin cells ARE sloughing off and being replaced. You know how that 10 pounds just snuck up on you after the holidays, and you didn't notice? The skin rejuvenation you will get using this product is the same way: you don't notice it until it's done it's work.
I use this product once a week. After next week (my 6th), I'll wait a month before I go through the cycle again.
I'm also going to start using this product on my chest, which of course, is also scarred and ride out-beaten.
Skin Laboratories, I Bow Before You. This is a superior product. |
WOW... WOW.. WOW

I always tend to stay away from chemical peels since of the horror tales I hear and since I have honest, oily, acne prone skin.
I bought the 35% peel just to try it; to see if I'm gone anything. I'm sorry I didn't have the guts to try it sooner. :o)
It is absolutely fantastic. I had a couple of breakouts I could not, for the life of me, get rid of. I place this on with a cotton ball, and I did wait the full 4 minutes; it tingled, but did not burn in any way. I washed it off and thought "okay, no miracles here". My face did feel smoother but that's about it.
The next two days I noticed quite the improvement. My chin cleared up and my face was, again, smoother, and more even and most importantly, no breakouts. I did not need to even place on powder (which I did not live without).
You do have to use a moisturizer after the peel. I did the first time, but since my face is oily, I didn't use one the second time. Huge mistake! My face was red and it still tingled 20 minutes after I rinsed off the peel.
As soon as I place moisturizer on, my face felt better and the flush went away.
This peel works wonders for me. I will keep on using it. It's beyond doubt worth the money. |

| Have been using Natura Bisse Glycopeel for years and chose to give this a try. Beyond doubt not as gentle as the Natura Bisse product, but similarly effectual if you don't mind a small quicker peel and the accompanying flush (which goes away in a day or so). And, what a value compared to Department store product prices!! Will buy again. |
Fantastic Peel- Low Price

| This product works fantastic for me. I have mild, sometimes moderate, acne and noticed consequences straight away with this peel. I use it before bedtime and wake up with softer skin- any blemishes that I might have that day appear reduced in the AM. It also seems to shrink pores/blackheads and styme oil production. I have also tried the 20% salicyclic acid peel which is more point to acne treatment, but I find the glycolic peel works better for me. My proposition is to try both. Of note, my skin is not particulary insightful to chemical peels, so I didn't notice the irritation that the other reviewers mentioned. It does, but, appear to fade ancient scars and heal current blemishes more promptly. |

| I had some mild post inflammatory hyperpigmentation for which i was using a hyquinone fade cream and this peel has helped tremedously. I have used it about 3 times and have noticed a huge difference in my skins tone. it's nearly impeccably even again. I would highly recommend this product, especially considering that the price is a fraction of what a spa would charge for a single peel. |
