Customer Reviews of BHA+ Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Customer Review: So Far So Good!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll start off with saying that I bought the 35 glycolic peel for my acne and was able to leave it on for 10 minutes (with little to no pain at all) and I applied it every three days. I honestly didn't see much as far as results so I ordered the BHA+.
I just applied it about half an hour ago for the first time and thought I would give anyone an idea of my first experience with it.
WOW! Much stronger. It felt like it was burning my face off. From the time I started applying to my forehead until the time I started rinsing it off was probably an even 60 seconds. Very painful. It took a lot of rinsing until the burning was just a stinging. I patted my face dry and it was pretty red and still stinging but that all went away within 2 minutes. Even though my face didn't look clearer (obviously blemishes can't disappear that quickly lol), my skin looks more even. Right now my face feels good. I applied a light moisturizer and it doesn't feel dry at all.
Maybe other people don't have such a sensitive reaction to the BHA+ like I did but I feel like I can put up with under 5 minutes of torture if it will clear my skin. Hopefully it will be worth the trouble! :)
I will update again in a few weeks to let you all know how it works in the long run. I just felt like this might be important for anyone considering purchasing the product to know what the actual process is like rather than just the results.
UPDATE!
I have been using this product religiously since I first bought it, applying it every 7-10 days. I still haven't seen much improvement overall, but I think it does help a little bit. It almost seems like the pimples themselves are smaller. They are less numerous but I still definitely have acne and there hasn't been a day that I've even been close to having clear skin.
I've been able to leave it on for longer and I always leave it on for 5-6 minutes. It does dry out my skin and I've been needing to use a light moisturizer every day but this is a good thing because I've never been able to use moisturizer. I live in a really dry area too and since it's winter, it's especially dry.
I do think that overall my skin has improved, but this product hasn't been a miracle worker for me. I've been noticing though that I think since I live in a dry area, it really contributes to my acne as well because whenever I go on vacation to a humid place, my face clears up immensely. I'm moving to Hawaii in about 6 months so maybe with this product combined with some humidity to keep my face moisturized, I will improve. If so, I'll update on here again because it may be helpful to anyone who does live in a more humid environment. It's funny how the place you live can influence your skin! :)
I think that for anyone with difficult skin, this product is without a doubt worth trying. I'm sure that once I run out I'll buy it again because it does help me more than anything else I've used.
Description of BHA+ Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
The BHA+ peel is a combination of chemicals in a single peel. This peel contains salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol (another skin-peeling chemical) which together constitute a very adjustable peel which lends itself well to repeat applications. It is similar in many ways to Skin Laboratory's other peels, but there are certain important differences. The BHA+ peel penetrates more deeply into the epidermal layers of the skin and is gentler than chemical peels. Typically, there is no downtime and most clients are able to return to their normal activities soon after receiving treatment. Because they are gentler, however, several treatments may be required to achieve the best results.
This peel is not recommended for people with sensitive skin, or those new to chemical peels. Skin Laboratory's Salicylic/20 is a great peel to get your skin accustomed to chemicals peels with less risk of irritation.
