This item is excellent for persons of African descent. I have tried the salicylic acid (20%), glycolic acid (35%) and finally the lactic acid (70%) and my skin has improved dramatically! I especially liked that the company included a complimentary small bottle of salicylic acid and recommended using it as a pre-peel a day before using the lactic acid. I did as recommended, and left the lactic on for exactly one minute as it was my first time using it. I have also been moisturizing at night with Vaseline petroleum jelly because of the dryness I experienced. Well, in three days, I noticed peeling, with my old skin being removed when I used my toner after washing. The result? Smooth textured clear radiant skin! I can't wait to complete the process, because if this is what I achieve after just one treatment, my skin should be flawless by the time I'm done!! Needless to say I'm very optimistic and very, very pleased.

This is a very good peel. Because of the gel formula easier to use than other peels that are more liquid. I am a skin care therapist and can recommend this product for everyone. But highly reccomend to read the instructions before applying the peel.

This product definitely works, a little too well. I do suggest purchasing this product, however, I'd like to give a little warning to anyone who's interested. The company was nice enough to send a trial size version of their salicylic acid product along with this peel. They suggest using it a few days before doing the lactic acid peel, so that the l. peel works better. Well, my experience was not pretty...I did the s. peel about 4 days before the l. peel. I loved the outcome I got from the s. peel but once I did the l. peel I looked like I had burned my face off for about 3 days. I couldn't laugh, smile, make any facial expression whatsoever without pain. I'm not sure why I had such drastic results b/c according to the instructions that's exactly how they suggest using it. I only left the l. peel on for about 25 secs. This stuff is really strong so I would advise you not to use the s. peel first. Do one or the other and see how you react to it first. Then wait a lengthier amount of time in between both (definitely more than a week). All in all I was pleased with the results- it does do what it says it will but you have to be careful and check your skin sensitivity first. I hope this helps you avoid a few days worth of hiding in your house so no one sees the red, peeling remnants of your face ;)

I'm fortunate to have found this seller. The product works as well as a professional peel. I use it once every two weeks to exfoliate and keep my skin even. It's better than glycolic acid for dark skin. Will be back for more products.

After spending a lot of money at a salon for peels for my very dry and sun damaged skin, I decided to try doing them at home. I had the stronger one done in the salon but chose to try this one at home. Its very effective and easy to use. Not at all uncomfortable and I love the way my skin looks and feels. If you choose to do your own peels be sure to add the PH balancer and a good moisture to your session. I intend to keep using this at home and saving hundreds of dollars. It's something anyone can do with ease. I like to call the time I spend on my skin,"Me Time." I've earned it. Although, it's nice to lay back and have someone else do it and feel very special, but if you would rather stay at home and only go occasionally to a salon, this is the peel for you. Skin Labortories has very good products and I'm anxious to try even more of them. I'm 71 and my skin looks and feels great.

I was afraid that this product would burn, especially when i got distracted by my destructive cat and left it on longer than specified.
No problem. not only did it not burn, but my skin looked subtly better after the first use, but after 3 uses, scar tissue was gone and people started asking what I did. Excellent product!

I ordered this, plus a bottle of 35% glycolic acid peel solution. I started with the salicylic acid that accompanied my order, leaving it on for 4 minutes before then putting on the lactic acid solution. The lactic acid is gentle enough not to irritate or feel too tingly, but strong enough to really exfolliate and leave the skin feeling tighter and extremely smooth. I used the lactic acid once a week for 3 weeks, then did the glycolic for 3 weeks. Both are extremely effective. Crows feet are diminishing, acne has disappeared, skin is smooth and glowing. I love this stuff. You won't see the skin peel, as these solutions aren't like a tca peel, but used regularly, they do reveal new, pink, glowing skin, they do remove impurities, they do tighten the skin and help produce new collagen. I'm a big fan of Skin Laboratory - excellent service,and excellent quality.

I ordered this product after doing tremendous research. The first time I used it, I didn't 'feel' much going on, but my skin did peel a bit during the first week. The second time I used it, my skin tingled quite a bit and turned reddish, and my skin broke out. I think it was the impurities coming to the surface. The next couple of weeks I used the product weekly and continued to break out a bit. Now my skin is clear and my complexion is unbelievable! I was a bit skeptical when I began using the product, but I persisted, remembering that when I would have facials (professional) I was told I'd break out first and then clear up.

I would highly recommend this product. I tend(ed) to break out on a continual basis, worsening during my menstrual cycles, including cystic acne. I rarely form blackheads at all now that I use this product regularly, which means nothing blocking/clogging my pores. In fact, although pores do not actually shrink, my formerly large-appearing pores are less pronounced and look smaller to me.

Disclaimer: You do need to be careful with this stuff, it's potent. That being said, it gives amazing results. I really like that it's more viscous than more peels; it's much safer and easier to handle. I was definitely pleased when a sample bottle of the 20% Salicylic Acid Peel was included (nice touch). After some experimenting though, I realized that for me the best combination was to use an over-the-counter microdermabrasion scrub beforehand, and then apply the peel with a fan brush from the craft store. The result was a remarkable erasure of the hyper pigmentation on my cheeks from acne scarring. Just be careful not to get too overzealous with the scrubbing!

I'm a junkie for face products, always on the search for something to renew troubled skin. I bought this at the same time I purchased the 30% glycolic product from the same company. The lactic 70% does what it should, I suppose, but despite not having sensitive skin (in the least), I tend to peel much longer with this one and don't experience the same "glow" I get from the glycolic. I probably should have gone with a lower strength, but will likely just stick to the glycolic instead. The company that makes both these products (Skin Laboratories) is a fine company though. Product was delivered on time and as expected.
