Customer Reviews of Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Customer Review: great starter peel
Summary: 5 Stars
This peel is really amazing. Prior to using the peel, my skin was so damaged with blemishes and painful zits, to the point where makeup no longer covered them, and my skin was so patchy it was embarrassing. Nothing was working for my acne. Finally, I tried this peel and it has changed the way I feel about my face. It diminished the size of my pores, completely gained my natural skin tone back, and almost completely got rid of the zits only after 4 weeks of use.
The first time I used it, I followed the instructions carefully. Leaving it on only 1 minute. There was a stinging sensation but nothing too painful or unbearable. After rinsing it off with cold water I dabbed the Neutralizer skin pH balancer by Cellbone and rinsed that off...then pat dry face. I immediately saw a huge difference in the size of my pores. They were completely closed!
Continued the treatment every two days and about 2 weeks later noticed that my skin tone was no longer red from all the acne, my face didn't hurt due to acne, and my acne was completely gone! Now, due to my high stress levels I got two measly little pimples but they don't hurt or look as massive as they used to. I am very excited to have found this peel. I'm on my 5th week and will stop shortly after next week. I recommended it to my friend and she's in love with it also.
You should definitely try this product! you've got acne to loose! :)
Customer Review: Excelent for Acne!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the salicylic acid about three months ago. If I were to review this product after using it for a month I would definitely give it a bad rating. After using the salicylic acid three times I got a really bad break out. It was probably my fault for leaving it on for about 5 minutes. My skin was all red and there were cystic pimples everywhere on my face. Especially the forehead and around the nose. It took about 3 weeks for these to subside, while I did not use the product. After these three weeks reluctantly I used the peel again, but only left it on for about 2 minutes, every 4 days. Then i increased to about 4 minutes also every 4 days or so. This seems to work perfectly. My skin has never been this clear. I never had a lot of acne, but I have a lot of white heads just under the skin that got infected very easy. This peel will slowly clear your pores and leave your skin more even and acne free. It needs time to work.
I think its very important to emphasize that initially your very likely to get a bad break out. By giving your skin time to heal, and a little patience, you can get almost perfect skin. I highly recommend this product, especially to people who have a lot of white heads. Will definitely purchase again.
Ps. - Make sure you use a good and light moisturizer after the peels, otherwise your skin will likely get very dry. I am using Cetaphil and it works great.
Customer Review: It's made a difference
Summary: 4 Stars
I am African American with very oil skin and hyperpigmentation left from using Proactive serveral years ago. My scars are primarily on my cheeks & a few on my forehead. After meeting with an esthetician who suggested I spend $980 on Obagi & an additional $500 on chemical peels, I thought I'd try this peel first. I also purchased the Glycolic peel which I've only used a few times and Kiss My Face Pore Shrink which I've tried and love. I no longer have reoccuring breakouts on my cheeks & forehead. My skin tone has improved significantly. Previously I had raised bumps (that hurt when inflamed) on both my cheeks. These bumps would go from inflamed to non-inflamed, but pretty much never healed or went away; they are gone. I apply a baking soda/water mixture to my face to deactivate the acid. I cleanse with African Black Soap & add a few drops of Jojoba Oil to my face while cleansing w/the black soap. Jojoba oil is a great moisturizer that actually penatrates my skin. After researching I learned my skin is oily b/c it is over compensating for dryness. The Jojoba Oil has balanced my nautral sebum (oil) production. In adddition to topical changes, I've completed a 5 day liquid only cleanse, twice in the last year. I've implemented Zinc Supplements & Flaxseed (fresh ground or oil I go back & forth) which is really good for your skin as well. These things have worked wonders for me. I am pleased with the product.Customer Review: A Little about BHAs
Summary: 5 Stars
This product has done EVERYTHING it claims. Absolutely less scars, my fine lines are GONE, FIRMER skin, evening out my skin tone. I am in LOVE with this product. YES it is harsh and YES it will make you peel. But it is somewhat controllable. If you want better results than last time (resulting in more peeling) you leave it one a little longer. If you peeled too much last time, then leave it on a little shorter (resulting in less peeling). Pretty basic. I use this product for 7 minutes. The peeling (in my case at least) happened two days after use, and lasted for two to three days. But i am always able to exfoliate it off easily and conceal it easily. The day after use, your skin feels like a sunburn, a little tight and red. Then the next night you will see flakes. But the flakes are very kind and easy to remove. Then a couple days later when you thought your face was finished shedding, it starts flaking again. And I'll tell you why: BHAs are different in the fact that they go DEEPER into your pores than AHAs, because they dissolve oil (they LOVE that stuff). So because it is going deeper, it is going to shed the deeper layers of skin as well as the top layer. This is why you get better results with Salicylic Acid (BHA) than say Glycolic Acid (AHA). Definitely try this over ANY AHA. I've used Glycolic and Lactic Acid before and it was more irritating than effective.Customer Review: Causes more pimples than you already have
Summary: 1 Stars
Well I'm 18 years old and I barely get pimples. My face is almost completely clear most of the time, but recently I've been getting some pimples hear and there..nothing big though. So I used this product to get rid of the pimples and I've only been applying it to the pimple areas and not my entire face since its already clear... So far I've never had any peeling around the pimple area and I've been using large amounts for up to 7 minutes and this is my third time using it. Basically what happens is that the pimples became much smaller and turn redish when the acid is applied. After water is applied it turns extremely white. Is this suppose to happen? Afterwards when I dry the water out, the pimples become darkish. So basically this product turns the big pimples into dark more scattered pimples that look worse than starting. Maybe I shouldn't be using this. Also I wanted to know if I could use this for my back?
Update: 3 weeks after product. This literally has done more damage than harm to my face. I honestly had only one or two pimples that were getting irritating and forced me to use this product. It has literally made pimples grow all around the area that I've used it and they pimple still haven't gone. I would not recommend for people who are young or minor pimples. I'm really hoping the pimples will be gone soon...
