Customer Reviews of Glycolic Acid 35% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Customer Review: Just completed my first application of the product.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this a few weeks ago and was hessitant to use because I did not want to go to work looking like a tomato. I am only 33 yrs old and male who was becoming self conscious about my reckless youth of being out in the sun without any protection. Well needless to say I began to show signs of sun damage in the form of very light brown spots and some fine lines around the eyes. I was more self conscious because peers my age did not have any of the signs that I had so before I even considered some more expensive treatments I decided to give this a try. I applied it on with a cotton ball since I could not find a gauze anywhere in my home but will be purchasing some before my next application. I left it on 2 mintutes since I didn't really have too much uncomfortness. I did apply moisturizer soon after which helped with the tingling and I have no redness on my face which is good. I do notice that my skin is softer but will continue my review after my 5th application and hopefully I can see some of the great improvements that you all are having. Do I reccomend? For the price I say give it a shot before wasting hundreds on professional treatments.Customer Review: Great stuff--fast too.

So I'm not really understanding why people say they got burned by this. I feel like you have to be a complete idiot and not use the product according to instruction--you can't give it a one star review because you didn't follow directions and misused the product. I say this because I did two one minute sessions today, one this morning and one this evening, and not only has my skin and minor acne shown a drastic improvment in 12 hours, my face is glowing. Some of my acne is starting to clear up. I plan on continueing to do this until I get the results I would like. I am using this in conjuction with my Pro-Activ routine. I have used glycolic products in the past, I used a 10% glycolic wash on my face last summer with Pro-Activ, and my skin was FLAWLESS. But, for some reason, it was taken off the market and is only available via a dermatologist. Anyway, love the product, and it does exactly what it is supposed to. I plan to continue short sessions every day. Also, I have very pale, sensitive irish skin. I have a history of eczema and minor acne. If it didn't burn me, it probably won't burn you (if you're smart about it).Customer Review: No difference
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading some of the reviews I was prepared to wait about 6 weeks before seeing any results. I have used the product for 5 weeks now (every 5 days) and still see no difference. I really wanted this product to work and am still hopeful that I will see results in the next couple of weeks. I plan on using it until the bottle is gone at least. It didn't dry out my skin like some reviewers reported so I didn't use any follow-up lotion as any kind of cream or lotion makes my face break out in mild acne. The gel was not painful at all but it did create a slight stinging/itchy sensation which got a little worse when I was rinsing it off with water. One thing I will warn about is if you have an open acne wound, apply the gel around the wound. Not on the open wound. This stuff gets down in there and BURNS! I had an open acne wound on my chin when I used the gel the second time and the next day I had what looked like a rug burn scab where the wound was and it still hasn't completely healed after about 3 weeks. If this stuff works before my bottle is empty I will amend my review.Customer Review: The improvement I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
I have terribly oily skin and have been using a salicylic acid cleanser with a toner. While they were extremely effective in keeping my skin under control, they were not improving it. I felt like I needed to add something else. I opted for this based on the reviews and I'm very happy with the results.
Immediately my pores looked smaller and my skin looked like "normal people skin." After less than two weeks there are parts of my skin where the pores aren't visible at all. The oiliness has drastically decreased.
When I did the peel, I experienced a very slight burning but nothing that bad. I do mine twice a week for 6 minutes and follow the aftercare directions to a t.
I can see how this might be a product that doesn't work as well for some as it does for others but it definitely seems like when it does work, the results are really amazing.
Customer Review: Not terribly strong...
Summary: 3 Stars
I have large pores that seem to get larger every year. I bought this hoping that a peel would help minimize the appearance of my pores and maybe decrease the oil production. I have never gotten a professional peel but my mom got one before. It took two weeks for her skin to get back to normal. But with this, my skin didn't even peel at all. I started with one minute and eventually tried 10 minutes. I tried putting more on. I tried everything. I am not giving up though. I will go ahead and use the entire bottle. But my pores are still huge, my skin is still oily, and I still break out.
I also could be imagining things but it does seem like my black heads are easier to find and extract after this process so that is a plus. My skin does feel amazingly clean after I use this product. It feels like a very powerful astringent on me and that is about it. Don't get me wrong, you do feel a much stronger burning sensation but my skin just feels very clean and fresh when I use this.
I guess I will have to go to a pro to get the real deal though...
