1.0 out of 5 stars Do not use on EBONY skin, April 10, 2009

I have mild acne and scarring and I've done salicylic peels at my dermatologist office with great results. When I saw this product, I thought what a great way to get the same results at home, boy was I wrong. The application part went fine and I felt the usual burning sensation. When I removed the product however, my face was more red than usual and it burned like hell. After suffering thrugh the night with the intense pain, I got up the next morning to find that my face looked like someone had thrown boiling water on me. I avoided work, friends and family for a few days while I went through the gruesome healin process. I have a somewhat caramel skin tone, and when the peeling started it revealed very pink skin which got darker with each passing day. The end result? I have what seems to be permanently discoloured skin- black scars all over which are obvious even with tonnes of makeup- which the dermatologist is makin a fortune off me to correct. I wish I could rathe this product 0.

I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase! I had been getting beta peels (salicylic acid) peels to get rid of my acne scars, but they were terribly expensive. I've been in the skincare business for almost 10 years and I've never used a product that mimicked the results of a professional peel like this! The instructional booklet is straight forward about the initial burning you'll experience (you'll have to have a hand-held fan or blow dryer with a cool setting or a "cool shot" button). It isn't as intense as the spa grade, but it's running a close second lol! They'll be a thin, transparent scab that will form over the next 2 to 3 days. On the third day it'll begin to peel. A good complimentary product are the Peter Thomas Roth Max Correction Pads ( sephora.com or peterthomasroth.com). At 2% salicylic acid and a 10% glycolic acid complex, it will not only help exfoliate the dead skin (the pads have a textured side and a smooth side), but it'll also help improve texture and tone in between treatments. I'm on my second peel and the scars have significantly reduced in size and color! So if you're paying two arms and a leg at the spa for salicylic acid peels and you're looking for a "relief package", you've got to get this product. You'll save time, money, and you can do it in the comfort of your own home!

I want to warn you that this is very potent & can burn your skin. That being said, it works well to clear up breakouts. I'm 40 years old & still break out. I have teenagers who have the same problem. I tried it on my daughter straight for 2 minutes & she was screaming that it was burning her...needless to say it did burn her face & she had a scab for a couple of days. However, I mixed 5 drops or so with skin cream & applied it to my son (only at night) & he has had great results with it. So dont be afraid to try this because it does work, just be careful. I wouldn't leave it on your face for longer than 1 minute the first time you try it.
