Editorial Reviews:

Product Description

Level 1) Glycolic/35, Lactic/35, Salicylic/20

Level 2) Glycolac/60, Lactic/50 - Twice as strong as L1

Level 3) Glycolic/50, Lactic/70, BHA+, HQ+ - Twice as strong as L2

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% 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.

Really Good Product! July 9, 2010
Aerosmith Fan
I am 26 years old and have moderate acne (cystic, and pastules) and hyperpigmentation from the breakouts. I have tried multiple topical products (including Retin-A, acne cleansers, serums, creams, and a Jessner's peel that was administered by a medical spa and cost $300, and IPL treatments) as well as natural supplements (zinc, herbs, brewers yeast, etc) and dietary changes (eliminating dairy, gluten, and sugar) all with little effect.

The Jessner's peel was the most effective treatment I had tried, but I hated the fact that my skin turns thick and looks like you have 2nd degree burns. This lasts about 6 days and is embarrassing. Besides, $300 a visit adds up quickly! So I found this peel. It has glycolic and Lactic acids so it would address the active acne as well as the hyperpigmentation that old outbreaks left behind. I have now used it 3 times with really good results. It has significantly improved the tone and texture of my skin (my family has been commenting on how smooth my skin looks now) and has reduced the visibility of the old acne marks (they were not scars). It has reduced the number of pimples I get significantly, but has not eliminated outbreaks altogether. I would say it was JUST as effective as the much more expensive peel, but with many other benefits: I can do it at home, my face does not peel/flake at all so I look normal, and I get multiple treatments out of a bottle.

As a note, I left the peel on for 3 minutes each time I have done the treatment (my skin is pretty tough after all the other procedures) and I had absolutely no visible signs of peeling. It is very convenient! I wish it would have stopped the outbreaks altogether, but overall I am very pleased. I will certainly buy more of this company's products, but will try a stronger peel next time. This peel has made me comfortable in my own skin again, and for that I am so grateful! Thank-you!!

Results probably depend on your skin sensitivity... May 10, 2010
mom, wife, chick (Chicagoland, IL USA)
I have mostly oily skin, so really no wrinkles as I've had a "natural" moisturizer my whole life. I'm 35 and while my skin isn't wrinkled, I've noticed some age spot/discoloration to my forehead and nose in the past 2 years. It's not super dark but pretty bothersome for me. I've also noticed my cheeks seeming a bit reddish in the past year so wanted something mainly to even out my skin tone. I also read that this product could help with some blackheads that I've always had on my nose. I tried this product out, first on the back of my hand and a small patch on my arm and right away noticed I didn't feel any sting. Which I figured was good but also made me question whether or not it would work for me. After a few days, I saw no reaction, adverse or otherwise, so I did a whole face application. This time, I did feel some slight stinging but nothing unbearable. I should note that I don't consider my skin to be sensitive and so wasn't really surprised by this. Because of the lack of stinging, I kept it on for about 5 mins. I saw no results after this 1st app, so I went ahead and a few days later did a 2nd app - it felt about the same but this time I kept it on longer - maybe 7 mins. Still no real results. I did see a tiny bit of peeling around the crease of my nose, but that's it. My 3rd app I decided to keep on for the max of 10 mins and even did my chest area, as it's seen some sun over the years too. Again, same feeling but no real results, EXCEPT that I seemed to be getting acne, AKA, whiteheads, on my chin and lower cheeks. NOT what I was hoping for, as far as results! In the end, I believe this product will possibly work for someone with skin not as "tough" as mine, if that makes sense. I didn't love the pimples I got after using this but they weren't terrible. That was the worst side effect so I can't really say too many bad things about this product. In the end, I think I may need a stronger peel to see results.

Just to note, I found the product to feel good going on, as in, it's consistency is smooth and easy to apply and noticed no real scent. This bottle would last me a long time if I continue to use it. For now, I think I might try the HQ or some other level 3 peel from this company.

It's just ok. April 29, 2010

I think that this a great starter product for those new to home peeling. I've been using Glycolic peels for years in a stronger concentration so this was a step backwards for me. I got this product mainly for removing some sun damage. I have not used Lactic acid before and wanted to use a lighter concentration to start with. I have fair skin so any tiny bit of sun damage shows up fast. Always remember your sun screen! :)

I've noticed some difference after 4 applications but not the improvement I was looking for. For myself in the future I will probably go back to using Glycolic separately from the Lactic unless I can find a product that has a stronger percentage of Lactic & Glycolic in it.

I do have one recommendation for those new to these type of products. Definitely try it out on the back of your hand to see how your skin will react and so you can get a good idea of what you have to do to neutralize the peel and completely rinse it off. Another poster gave a better description & instructions on mixing baking soda with water to neutralize. I also recommend you use baking soda. & don't be cheap when rinsing. You don't want to leave these types of products on your skin for longer than necessary.

Good Luck :)

Nice Lite Peel April 25, 2010
D. Cohen (Pennsylvania, USA)
Nice lite peel. I'm 37 and have had acne since age 9 and still do. I have been a smoker for 18 years (quit 3 months ago-wish me luck), so obviously this has taken a toll on my skin. I have been using Retin-A since I was 16 years old. I have dark marks where previous acne has been. I have a few tiny dent-type scars that blend into my smile lines mostly. I also developed "melasma" 3 years ago...SUDDENLY when I was on a Caribbean cruise (obviously in the sun). Even though I had been using VERY high SPF and very water/sweat proof, on my face for many years...and was wearing it FULL TIME on this trip...it still appeared and never went away. It is less noticeable when I haven't been in the sun for a very long time (winter time), but even with high SPF it still appears MUCH DARKER as soon as the sun hits my face and doesn't go away at all during summer months. I also have had very dark circles under my eyes for many years due to my olive skin complexion. I also have had redness around my nostrils and on my chin for the past 7 years. 7 years ago a derm told me that the red stuff was also sun damage (I was expecting a rosacia diagnosis). I have also had large pores for a long time especially on my nose and chin...but they all look big to me. I also still have an oily T-zone.

Ever since I developed the melasma 3 years ago I have been searching for a cure that I could afford but I never found anything. My wrinkles and acne I have learned to live with...not happily but as a matter of nature. After researching I knew that the only fixes would be expensive salon or derm procedures. So I gave up and tried to embrace my new marks all over my face...(ARE YOU KIDDING?). I have not been able to do this so THANK GOD I RAN INTO THE REVIEWS OF THESE PRODUCTS ON AMAZON!!! I'm SOOOOO EXCITED!!!

I purchased this peel, the 20% Salicylic Acid peel, the HQ+ (to use in the future - once I have a tolerance to peels), and the pH balancer. The balancer is worth the 10 bucks!!! I did buy all but the ph balancer [...] because it was a tiny bit cheaper and I like the applicator gauze that they sell which I couldn't find on Amazon. It is only 6 bucks for 200 and they are perfect for this use! More sanitary than using a brush over and over also. They are not very absorbent so you don't feel like the gauze is sucking up/wasting the product.

5 days ago I got the purchase in the mail. I used the Salicylic first because it was a Saturday and I therefore knew I would have a little healing time, if needed. The Salicylic was stronger. Today is Sunday (a week later) and I just used THIS peel. I was able to leave this one on for about 5 minutes. From my experience last week, the creases around my nostrils ARE VERY SENSITIVE so I applied to that area after doing the rest of my face. On that area I was only able to leave on for about 1.5 minutes. On my face I felt like I could have left it on longer but didn't since it was my first time using it. Both masks make pores smaller IMMEDIATELY! Especially the biggest ones so THAT IS AWESOME!!! My skin feels and looks very smooth, clean, brighter and tighter than prior to using. I can't wait to work my way up to the HQ+ since that is the one that is for "dark marks". Both this peel and the Salicylic made my darker areas of my face look a tiny bit brighter (including the redness, scaring, under eye circles and the melasma). This shocked me in a wonderful way, because neither of these peels are supposed to improve these things specifically. I had a mild breakout on my chin and forehead after the first peel in areas I always have acne (about 3 days after using the peel) therefore I'm assuming that it was acne already underlying my skin that the peel "brought out". I'm used to this when ever I restart Retin-A so I'm not worried about it continuing.

I'll post an update in a month or so. Happy peeling!!!! Read the directions and don't worry!!!
