Hot stuff! Really Works!, September 29, 2009
This review is from: Glycolic Acid 70% Chemical Peel, 30mL (Professional) (Misc.)
I have never used a peel anywhere near this potent ( usually 10% drugstore brands) so I was VERY careful. I just left it on a few minutes. However, it was so hot that I doubt I could have stood it much longer even had I wanted to. I had never had a professional facial so did not know what to expect. I am really excited about using this as I can see it is powerful and effective. I left it on my lips just seconds and all the old skin just came right off! I expected my lips to crack and bleed after that but they didn't! I have always been a 'do it yourselfer' including filler injections for face but this I would caution not to overdo it as it could damage your skin . It definitely is effective so if you can use extreme restraint, try it. Start with a small area first so you see how it works. I also used it on my son's back for acne as he did not want to use Acutane again. It was not so hot to him and worked very well with just one application. We are going to do some more on him as well. You can also use a Q-tip to do specific areas , lines, pimples,scars, etc. Oh, even after three weeks my skin still has color to it whereas before I was very pale as I have been dealing with a long term illness. I look healthier now too!

Great product!, December 2, 2010
This review is from: Glycolic Acid 70% Chemical Peel, 30mL (Professional) (Misc.)
I recently ordered the glycolic acid 70% solution and didn't really know what to expect... I have read up on using treatments like this and most of them said that you should start off with a lower percentage solution (30%) because the product will burn too much and cause too much of a reaction while it heals. I was looking to clear up my minor acne scars and a few sun caused light wrinkles that I have acquired from years of sun tanning.
Because I wanted faster more dramatic results, I went ahead and ordered the 70% solution anyway and tried it as soon as it arrived. I followed the detailed instructions (don't be afraid of what the information package says... it warns the user about burning and scabbing and I was so afraid!) but I did it anyways and I LOVED the results. I left the solution on my face for the full max time of 5 minutes and washed it off. It didn't burn THAT much, but it was hot and tingly. I found the feeling to be actually pleasant! I didn't even have to use the cool setting on my hairdryer (like the instructions recommend) because the burning was not that intense. After I washed it off my face, I waited a few minutes before applying a tiny bit of jojoba oil to my face (you're supposed to moisturize with an unscented vitamin e based moisturizer afterward but jojoba oil is the best thing for healing your skin without clogging pores so I used that). I went to sleep and woke up the next morning.... My skin was SLIGHTLY red, (it looked like I went a few extra minutes in the tanning bed or on a long jog outside in the cold) but not at all what they warned that you might look like (a swollen scabbing mess ha ha). I put on some light makeup and went about my day! It still feels tight and kind of sunburnt, but It is already starting to look clearer.
I am excited to see what my skin will be like in 7 days after all of the peeling occurs! I am so happy so far and I will continue to use this product every 3 weeks until I see my desired results.
Enjoy!!

Glycolic Acid Peel, May 16, 2009
This review is from: Glycolic Acid 70% Chemical Peel, 30mL (Professional) (Misc.)
This peel actually works very well but as stated before I wouldn't start with this one. If left on too long it can cause serious damage. I am very pleased with the overall results and with each peel I can see more results. Scars are fading and also fine lines.
