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.

 From an esthetician's point of view... July 21, 2010

This peel works great! I used it on my clients and myself and have seen great results. For those who know what they're doing and have used active treatments before, this is a great weekly peel to keep major acne outbreaks at bay and smooth out the skin's surface.
If you're thinking about using this peel and you've never used anything but hand soap on your skin, I would say put the credit card down and do some research before you buy. The treatments really work, but if you haven't built up your skin's "readiness" with some home treatments, even over-the-counter acne washes with 2% salicylic, the burning this peel will produce will be too much for you.
Worked like a charm! Molluscum Contagiosum gone in 3 days! July 20, 2010
#1 Consumer (Tijeras, NM United States)
I bought this stuff for my sons molluscum contagiosum. What typically takes 12-18 months to get rid of, is nearly gone after only 3 days! I can't say enough good stuff about it. Simply apply it with a Q-tip 2-5 times a day to the molluscum areas & they miraculously begin to dry up & go away. This is our second bout w/ this molluscum stuff as my kids are both on the swim team & my daughter got it last year. Unfortunately, I couldn't use this stuff as the molluscum was on her eyelid. I used an herbal product that worked, but was quite expensive and took about 6 months to see results. I highly recommend this stuff!
Great for Persistent Acne July 17, 2010
Marissa Chamberlain (Laramie, WY USA)
My struggle with acne is much the same as everyone else's-persistent acne that refuses to quit despite medication and special washes and creams like Proactiv and skin i.d. (which by the way don't help much unless its very mild acne). I was skeptical to go so far as Accutane because I already have a history of depression without it being egged on by yet another medication. When I discovered this on Amazon and read the other reviews, I decided to give it a try since so many others seemed to have success with their serious acne and skin issues. I know they recommend the BHA as best for acne, but it seems to dry my skin out so badly my skin overproduces oil and makes it worse. This is the best balance for me, as well as the glycolic acid they make. On first use it can burn quite a bit, but after several uses you don't notice it so much. And as other people have said, you want to wash it off your face with the coldest water you can find! I am absolutely astonished that after so many years of battling and trying to hide my acne, it is gone for good, as well as all the scars and pock marks from picking and squeezing to get rid of blemishes anyway I could. If you have any doubts about buying any of the peels to help with your skin issues, squash them and don't look back! You'll love what you see in the mirror!
Definitely Worth a Try! July 14, 2010

My background: I am very light skinned and in my early thirties. I have oily and sensitive skin with facial acne since high school (many blackheads due to oil & large pores, random small bumps all over my face and infrequent cysts). I have tried countless over the counter and infomercial salicylic acid products for years with ho hum results. (I've always liked how salicylic acid makes the overall appearance of my skin look better. However, in the past I've found that a strong benzoyl peroxide, even though it burns, was better at treating my skin problems.) Also, I have never been to a dermatologist for prescription treatment and have never had a chemical peel mainly due to the costs involved.
That being said, I tried this product for the first time today and already love it! After years of dealing with scrubs and acne products I already know where my sensitive spots are, so I kept the acid away from the area surrounding my mouth. By doing that I was able to keep the product on the rest of my face for a couple minutes with minimal discomfort. (I used a paper towel folded into a triangle to apply and my favorite healing lotion since I couldn't wait to buy gauze and the recommended non-comedonic moisturizer.) I was amazed to watch my blackheads start to "melt" away and my pores shrink. (This instant gratification alone makes it worth the price!) I am sure with repeated use (it says 6 treatments for best results) the product will continue to dissolve the small bumps as well and keep away any nasty cysts. This peel impressed me so much it prompted my first ever Amazon review. Thank you for making such a strong and effective salicylic acid available!
The Adult Acne Miracle Cure July 14, 2010

I have never been so pleased with a product in my life. I feel like I've finally found the secret to amazing skin (sorry for sounding like an infomercial). I am 25 years old and in the past year or so after never really having severe acne all my life, I developed severe cystic adult acne. No matter what I did it would not go away. I can't tell you how many thousands of dollars I've spent on beauty products at your usual beauty store claiming to get rid of adult acne. Tried various medications, everything. THIS STUFF IS ONLY $18 and it's been AMAZING. To get my skin used to it initially (be warned, I don't really know the correct usage of this stuff but this is how I did it), I applied it every three days starting at a minute and increasing by one minute every three days it was applied, working my way up to eight minutes. I noticed very minimal peeling, but my skin improved drastically, even not being at the eight minute mark. Two days ago, I finally made it up to eight minutes, and my skin is peeling significantly today! Not enough where someone could really notice, unless they stood directly in front of me. I am excited because I see amazing new skin emerging underneath, and at this point since I only have acne scars left, I am hoping to see them fade over time. I will continue to do eight minute peels once a week and see what happens. As far as the burning goes, it wasn't as bad as I had expected based on the other reviews I'd read here. It feels more hot than anything else. I actually find putting my face in front of a fan more irritating than without. But maybe I'm just the exception. I will warn you though.. if you get cold sores, do not apply this stuff on the areas you've gotten cold sores.. you WILL get new ones if you do. I learned the hard way. But I've since avoided the area and I seem to be doing fine so far!
I've never reviewed anything on Amazon before, but this stuff was just too good not to say something about it. BUY THIS! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
