Customer Reviews of Glyco-Lac/60, Level 2 Gel Peel -30 ml/1 fl oz
Customer Review: incredible results - no more breakouts, smoother skin and reduced fine lines!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just came on to Amazon to buy my 2nd shipment. I have also recommended this company/product to two other friends + my 62 yo mom who are converts.
I'm a fair-skinned, freckle faced 36 yo originally from Arizona. I spent my fair share in the sun and now am beginning to see the effects of this. On a regular basis, I would have chin breakouts and along my hairline. I also started developing sun spots (wider, browner freckles) on my forehead and cheekbone and fine lines around my eyes (I was anti-sunglasses in the past). I'm going on 3 months of using this product weekly for 3-4 mins each time. I never peel, but my skin gets tight. I did work my way up... beginning at 30 secs the first time and so on... (I have "sensitive" skin so I was leery...)
My skin is smoother, some of my freckles have faded (especially the very prominent ones, my skin feels dewier and some of the crepe-like fine lines are less noticeable. I also know it's working because I still get breakouts on my neck occasionally...so now I'm using the product on my neck to combat this.
My one downside: It doesn't fade the freckles as much as I would like, but the other benefits outweigh this "con".
Customer Review: Glyco-Lac/60 has been working great for me
Summary: 5 Stars
This stuff has quite a strong chemical odor, and it does burn a bit when it's on, but from my experiences it's totally worth trying. I started with 1 minute and while I was afraid that I would get peeling and redness I didn't get any in the least bit. I think around the 3rd treatment I started to see a real difference in the texture and clarity of my skin. I've been to dermatologists and tried every product I could find to help my skin and I can't believe that I didn't know about this stuff! I haven't gotten any new blemishes at all since I started using this. My husband noticed the difference and actually tried it...never expected that. But it's hilarious, now he's like, "Let's go do a peel!" He's on his 4th or 5th and he has been washing it off after 1 minute because he keeps thinking that he's going to get peeling and redness, but he's never had a bad reaction. Regardless of him only leaving it on for 1 minute each time, there have still been improvements to his skin texture and tone.
I will definitely order the peel again, I kind of want to try the HQ one but I worry that it sounds much stronger than this one, at least by the reviews.
Customer Review: Works Out of the Bottle
Summary: 5 Stars
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...
Customer Review: quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
I want to add to the reviews that I studied esthetics and carried a license as an esthetician for a period of time and I used peels and various glycolic and lactic acids on clients and for personal use. I can attest to the quality of these. I was weary at first because I have ordered on line in the past and ended up with something that just burnt the skin and did more damage than good. There is a wide range of quality associated with these peels, and this product is one of the best. There was a slight burn/tingling when I applied it, but it left the skin just "sunkissed" looking. No peeling or down time involved...and it really did the job to remove the superficial layer of skin and create a healthy glow. I would highly recommend this. One last note...it is not recommended to apply peels in the summer months because removing layers of dead skin cells makes you much more vulnerable to damage from the sun. Although I know better than to use it in mid-July as I have been...I am super careful to be sure to apply a minimum of 20 spf for every day and 40 spf and a hat on sunny days spent outdoors.
Customer Review: Exfoliates, Refines Pores
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used this product over a two month period with considerable results. I generally leave the peel on for 8-10 minutes at a time. After washing with cold water I apply Emu oil to my face and let it penetrate overnight. Be prepared for some skin flaking or redness 1-3 days after the application of this peel. After multiple usages, I've noticed that my pores are now less pronounced and some of my acne scars have faded. It also seems light wrinkles have lessened. At first I was uncertain as to whether or not glycolic acid could promote collagen growth, but I now believe this to be true. I had a minor indentation from a cortisone injection administered by a Dermatologist that has since filled in a considerable amount. It should be mentioned that this peel does not penetrate the dermis and therefore significant results should not be expected. However, I believe it is a good product to use semimonthly to ensure that your complexion continues to look healthy. I feel confident in recommending this item to anyone, especially those concerned with skin care maintenance.
