Choosing a Peel:
Glycolic: stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. It's small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25% Â thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid generally causes little or no visible peeling.
Lactic: works on the surface of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate surface cells which helps to perfect the skin's surface and restore the skin's natural glow.
Glycolac: With a combination of Glycolic (25%) with Lactic (35%), it provides hydration and tone improvements of the Lactic, with the increased collagen stimulation of the glycolic. It is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels or the skin.
Salicylic: a great kertolytic which means it helps loosen the bonds between skin cells to promote exfoliating. It is the only hydroxy acid which is oil soluble which allows it to penetrate into clogged pores. It can be used more frequently than the other peels without must risk for irritation.
BHA+: Hands down the best peel for acne and oily skin. You should expect some visible flaking of the skin 2 days after using the peel. This will help with active acne blemishes as well as old acne marks, and a variety of other skin problems.
HQ+: This peel is best for pigmentation and acne scarring. Similar to our BHA+ peel, with added ingredients which to help to fade pigmentation differences and even skin tone. If you suffer from old acne marks, age spots, or melasma, this peel will be the most effective in helping you.
Customer Reviews
I don't know what this is, but it is not 35%
My friend has this and I tried using it. As someone who goes to get 35% peels at my local derm, let me tell you this stuff is not nearly as strong as what I get done there. I do NOT have sensitive skin and I'm the only one in my own circle of friends who can handle a 35% strength peel for a whole 4 MINUTES at the derm before bleeding occurs (in spots where there are acne). Like I said I don't have sensitive skin so a little bleeding is fine with me. I put this stuff on my face and 10 minutes later my skin was not irritated at all. Maybe they meant the entire BOTTLE was 35%. And some reviewers are stating that they aren't even peeling. All in all, I like the stuff, but it doesn't replace my regular out of home treatments.

Have had it on 30 mins and it doesnt hurt as bad as people say!
I have mild acne except when its that time of month and I have blackheads that are almost impossible for me to get rid of. I have tried everything under the sun and nothing has ever worked. My mom started doing chemical peels to help with wrinkles so I did a little research and found this peel. Granted she does the tca peel I was not willing to go that deep and decided to try this one. It burns a little at first but nothing I couldnt handle I have never left it on shorter than 5 minutes. I have it on now and its been on for about 30. I am about to go put a second layer on. It hurts less the longer its on as the first few seconds hurt the worst but even that is nothing as far as pain goes and Im not one to handle pain easily which is why I wont dare try the tca peel even though I know it works wonders lol. But this peel does clear up any acne I have and does make my pores easier to manage although I dont do it often enough for them to go away completely i am hoping that increased use will make them clear up completely. It is a good product to buy and it will help. The pain is not near as bad as some of the other reviews have said as I have had it on for awhile now and I cant feel a thing.

Awesome!
I bought this about 3 weeks ago and have been using it every 4-5 days. It's weird, you put it on and you immediately feel it tingling but afterwards your skin doesn't "peel". I'd say after the second use I did notice new skin that was brighter and not dullish looking like the surrounding skin (I used it on my nose). I would say the best benefits of this are that it rejuvenates your skin AND closes your pores. The pores on my nose are significantly smaller than they have ever been. Reduces blackheads as well.

Good product
I was really pleased with how quickly this item came, and I've been using it for some weeks now and it seems to be clearing up hyperpigmentation well. I'd recommend it to others.

peel satisfaction
I am very pleased with the results I got from using the glycolic peel. It was not harsh on my skin and I was able to use it twice a week for two weeks, after that I took it down to once a week and then
twice a month.
It also worked really well for my blackheads. My face feels and looks smooth.
