Customer Reviews of Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Customer Review: This stuff works!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had problem skin forever. In 2006, I went all out and spent money on a plastic surgeon to remove some scars and then underwent expensive acne treatments in his office. That only lasted as long as I kept going to his office for the treatments. Once I quit going within weeks my skin looked terrible again and the scar came back just a bit. So since then I've had terrible skin. I was willing to spend so much money on it and I just tried to deal with my skin condition using over the counter products UNTIL I discovered this Salicylic Acid Peel. It's been 3 weeks since I bought it. And wow, what an improvement in my skin. The scar area is about to fall off right now. My pores are significantly smaller. My oily skin isn't oily anymore. The overall condition of my skin is such an improvement. Just in the nick of time too because I have an important event coming up and I will look great in my new skin. This stuff works. Try it out and see your skin condition clear up and improve overall. I have one wrinkle in between my forehead which I haven't had luck getting rid of but I'll continue to apply this and see if it improves. I'll keep you posted. Best product I've found on amazon.com.Customer Review: Refreshed feeling

This product will not help acne, and in fact, irritated my skin to high hell.
At first it will give you this intense cold/burning feeling on your skin, and you will want to wash it off immediately, but you have to wait. Of course, your skin will peel, but it will not (or at least for me) get "better."
I used it a couple times and now it is just somewhere in my house, I would sooner use it to clean rust than my face.
The instructions are horrid. There is no straightforward answer about how often you should use it. Every source linked to Skin Laboratory gives a different time interval to use the product. On the instructions that came with the product it said once a week; on the SL website, every other week; on the forum, everyday for a week, then stop for a month. Very annoying.
I would not recommend buying this product. You can get alot more benefits from something that packs a much lighter and soothing punch.
I use two cleansers: the healthy skin rejuvenator by neutrogena (once or twice a week) and basis cleaner clean face wash (whenever I want to wash my face/daily). I moisturize with palmer's cocoa butter.
Customer Review: so far, so good

I have been using this product for about a month now and I must say I have seen positive changes! I still have persistent acne on my right cheek but once I apply the peel it starts to dissapear fast. This product has shown positive signs clearing the dark spots on my face too. I have spent so much money on many products including proactive but this works far much better! I hope I continue to see positive results so I can have a spotless and healthy skin once again. I would reccommend this product no doubt. Also, I have dark skin and I sometimes use it more often than advised(don't do it because I do). Goodluck!
March 25th- Still have acne but they have decreased in severity. I Still have dark spots but since using this peel, they have continue to lighten. I am still breaking out and changes right now seems slow so I'm thinking of buying Lactic acid peel. I'll give y'all an update later. I would still recommend this product, I just thought by now, I'd have a flawless face.
May 10th- This product didn't work for me in the long term. I'm going to try the Lactic acid and use this as a pre-peel. Argh! the search continues...
Customer Review: gentle, no. effective, yes. worth the pain.

I have somewhat sensitive skin anyway, so I wasn't surprised that this burned rather ferociously the first time I used it. I'm not very bright, so against the instructions, I used it again the next night. If I thought the first time was bad, I then became acquainted with what I'm sure is similar to the sensation of 50 bees stinging your face over and over. It was brutal. I had to cold water it after a couple of minutes. I've since used it several times (every 2-3 days) over the last couple of weeks and it works. It peeled my skin, and as another reviewer mentioned, it made my skin a bit worse before it started to improve. The pores on my nose have all but disappeared. The sensation is still slightly uncomfortable but it's obvious that the longer you use it, the less it stings. Currently it feels like I spread a thin layer of Icy Hot on my face. I also notice that when I sit and think about it, it's worse, so I recommend doing something to take your mind off of it. Apply and play a few games of BubblePopp on Facebook or something less lame. Overall highly recommended and worth it. Also - you can't beat this price!Customer Review: After a few uses I gave the rest to a friend who needed it more
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product back in August of 2010 and used a few times. I started having fairly bad acne and needed something to help it out. I bought this along with Dudu Osun black soap. I used the peel a couple days a week for about a month then just once a month. I haven't needed to use it for the last 2 months. Since then I gave it to my friend, who has the worst acne I have ever witnessed (cystic, infected, blackheads, you name it), in hopes it will do a little something for him. (I'll see how it works for him and update in a couple months)
I don't know if it was the reduction in stress in my life, getting more adequate sleep, not being a teenager anymore, eating more fruit, or just the soap and always using clean cloths to wash, but I only get spot breakouts that are small and go away quickly, which I can live with. My skin seems to always be improving with just using the soap, literally only the soap. I don't moisturize, use the salicylic peel, face masks, nose strips, or any acne wash or cream at all anymore. Just the soap everyday in the shower. I do think the salicylic acid helped give my skin a jump-start though.
