Customer Reviews of Glycolic Acid 35% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Customer Review: It really works
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product because I had very bad hyperpigmentation and acne scars. I must say that it starts out much worse in the beginning, but it is so worth it in the long run. When I first started my skin was so dry it hurt. None of the moisturizers I used would comfort it until I found Cetaphil restoring moisturizer. It helped so much. After a few days of having dry, itchy, peeling skin, my skin was so soft after just the 3rd application. You are supposed to use it a series of 6 times once a week. I can't wait until I finish the 6th one to see the results. I have already noticed that my acne scars are quickly fading. Even my co-workers can tell the difference. I feel more confident walking out of the house without makeup. I'm so glad I found this product :)Customer Review: Fine, so far!

I've only used the glycolic acid three or four times, and I'm only up to about four minutes (adding one minute with every application)...so far, no problems, and very light peeling that left behind lovely skin. I did use a Neutrogena cream after the first minute-long application, but have not in subsequent applications---but I've been using a different, milder peel from the same company for about 15 months, so I think my skin is conditioned to acids. I think it's very, very important that you do the skin test on an arm before trying it on your face, and that you start carefully, with short applications and none of the acid near your eyes or mouth. Besides the directions that come with the peel, consider using Google to track down more instructions and warnings.Customer Review: Pretty good, but not a face lift in a bottle!

I am used to 3-5 minute 20/20 glycolic/sali peels. I think this 35% peel burns less than my usual 20/20, but maybe it hurts less because im doing it in the comfort of my home where im not listening to my dermo's timer ticking away. I usually do this 35% about for atleast 4 minutes with minimal discomfort, but I also do NOT have sensitive skin. The only thing that sends my gulf coastal skin into a terrifying tail spin is a drop in humidity < 50%. I leave this product on longer in tougher areas, like my forehead, chin, ear area and less on the thinner skinned areas of my cheeks. This product works and its a damn fine value. For $20-something I can get the same thing that my doc uses and charges hundreds of dollars for and with the same exact results.Customer Review: Works pretty good so far

I just used this product for the first time 3 days ago. I have OK skin, I've been having a lot of breakout around my chin and mouth, mostly blackheads, a few whiteheads and some of the deep 'cystic' acne too. I have to say that the next day a lot of the whiteheads were gone, my forehead is completely smooth(i had a few little pimples scattered on my forehead) and the 2 big cystic pimples have come up to the surface and are now almost gone! I was VERY skeptical about trying this... I have tried MANY other acne washes, creams, etc.. I will definitely keep using this product. It tingled a little but it wasn't anywhere near unbearable. I was able to keep it on for 4 minutes, although I think next time I will leave it on a little longer. Great product!!Customer Review: Question and Review

If this peel is suppose to remove a layer of skin each time you use it shouldn't you be seeing a slight reduction in pores, light wrinkles and pigments each time? I do feel it working. Yet it is not painful or hard on my sensitive skin. It makes my skin feel smoother and tighter but so far I see nothing but it has only been three weeks. So my question is shouldn't I see something right away and how long does it take? I am 58 and have some very faint wrinkles and have some age spots and red spots from sun damage. That is why I am taking this product to improve these spots I have developed in the last years. So from the others who have used this product have you seen improvements on these issues? It says professional formula so I expect more improvements.
