Customer Reviews of Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Customer Review: Not So Amazing For Papular Acne
Summary: 3 Stars
I was really excited to use this product due to the high reviews. So far so good but to be honest ive used it maybe 4-5 times and I cant see a big difference. I have mild papular acne and I think this product would benefit those who have pustule acne alot better since that lays on the surface as opposed to underneath the skin like mine. I am taking Minocycline and just started so hopefully this peel will help with the red marks left behind.
As far as the peel on your face, yes it does sting but its managable! I leave it on for 2 mins max. then add cold water for a mintue. I have a combo skin type but more on the dry side so I do experience flaking of the skin. Use an spf most definitley!
Overall: I would say to give it a try and see for yourself since its much more cost efficient then going to spas as I have in the past!It does make ur skin feel nice and smooth but the peeling part sucks. Hope I can see some results soon!
Customer Review: practical and easy to use home peel
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm trying to get my mid life skin looking smooth and even so thought i'd try this. I've got oily skin and it is sensitive so I read the directions and started a time line to peel,
(ever so slowly) back the hands of time. I have sun damage on my chest and so when I apply this stuff I do the chest/neck and face. It does tingle a little bit but I followed the time for each peel and I'm up to the 4th peel now and my husband and friends remarked how smooth and pretty my skin looks. I'm going to keep with it and work up to the 8 min. max time allotment. I have a very oily t-zone and I highly recommend that you use a nice potent moisturizer (natural of course) to soothe & keep your skin from revolting. I allow at least 3 days between peels, use the highest SPF for the face you can get your hands on, (I use AVEENO for the face spf 70), be vigilant about wearing a hat. So far it's been easy, subtle and gratifying.
Customer Review: Loving It Already
Summary: 5 Stars
Having acne-prone skin is sooo frustrating. I'm 28 and can remember just a few times in my life when my skin has been clear--after taking oral antibiotics, after having a terrible sunburn, and after two runs of (scary) Accutane. The effects of the antibiotics are short-lived, getting a sunburn is just asking for trouble, and Accutane made me lose hair and was really no more effective than the antibiotics.
I've used the Salicylic acid twice--one minute the first time and three minutes the second time (over the course of a week). The day after the first usage, my acne started drying up and a lot of the red marks left from healing zits looked lighter. I used it again three nights later, and today I have to say I'm amazed at the improvement in my skin.
I've had a couple of little pimples pop up, but I zapped them with that Zeno device and now they're GONE.
Customer Review: Doesn't "completely" remove pimple scars
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had a pimple problem for years. After years of trying different brands of items, going to doctors, nothing really works for me. I accepted the fact that I couldn't "stop" pimples.
The truth is pimples stay present for a small period of time on a person's face. What stays for a longer time are the scars left after pimples.
This product is said to remove the scars after a pimple has come and gone. Honestly, it does peel some skin off the scar, but the scar never really goes away. I followed specific instructions that came with the product and I wasn't able to get the results promised. My pimple scar seems like it looks a bit better, but that's it. I can still see it clearly.
I wouldn't recommend this product. Do some of your own research and try to find some competitive products that work better.
Customer Review: Results after one use!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've struggled with acne prone skin since I was 10 years old...Now I'm 26 and STILL have problems, mainly with clogged pores and what seems like too much oil production. After trying any and every product I could get my hands on, I decided to try a peel. I have very sensitive skin, so I was a little weary at first, but the 20% solution has worked great for me so far! The first time I used it I could only leave it on for about 30 seconds. (The stinging was a little more than I had expected.) But even after leaving it on for such a short time I have had great results! My face is not nearly as oily as it was before. I used to get really shiny about an hour after applying my makeup, but now my face looks great throughout the day. And the number of pimples has also dramatically decreased. I would strongly suggest using this product.
