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.

 Great for dark marks left after acne but... July 10, 2010

Hello I am 17 years old and have mild/moderate acne and have oily skin. At first I had bought the smaller version of the Hq+ peel and wrote a review about it on this website. But after using the product more, I now have a lot of mixed feelings about this product.
Pro's:
-The only over-the-counter product that has faded my post-acne marks(little red dots)
-Gets rid of some active pimples
_________________________________________________________________________________
Con's:
-Broke my skin out with a lot of red pimples.
- The smell of the product gives me a very intense headache during and after applying it to my skin.
-Dries my skin out so badly that it causes my skin to produce more oil.
_________________________________________________________________________________
It breaks my skin out with a lot of red pimples: When I first started using this peel, I did not break out from it. I started breaking out the 6th or 7th time of use. I thought that the break-outs came from the peel just getting all the "gunk" out of my pores, which is suppose to happen the first couple of uses. Well I kept using the peel once every 10 days and following the directions exactly. I did not put any new skin products on my skin at the time or do anything different with my skin routine. But I still broke out will pimples the day after each peel. I didn't understand why my skin would still be breaking out after using the peel as many times as I have. Now I know how some of you must be thinking "She doesn't know for sure that it is the products fault for her skin breaking out". But when I break-out only when I use this product and only breaking out in the ONLY places(I don't apply to entire face, just certain little spots) I apply the peel, then yes I have to say the peel is at fault.
 it does the job June 29, 2010

Im 24 yrs old ive had acne since i was 13 ive tried otc products, prescribed, peels and lasers, so i after reading some reviews on this product i decided to purchase it, it is a strong peel, it really stings when applied, the next day my face looked better, and when my family and friends saw my face they all said my face looked better, the 2nd time i used it there was a difference the next day, so far i have used it twice, its very easy to use, i highly recommend this product
 I prefer this over the other peels I have tried May 30, 2010

I usually don't write reviews but this one I felt like I have to. I previously bought a glycolic peel and glyco-lac peel but didn't see much result with them.So I decide to switch to this and see how well it turns out and I definitely see some improvement this is my 2nd application. Definitely see my pores getting smaller and face smoother and softer. Both of my cheeks have like somewhat call icepick scars and lots of red marks as well with hyperpigmentation. The chemical smell of this is pretty intense and it was like really strong comparing to the others. So I couldn't leave it on for over 2 minutes. I'm not sure what people are using to put it on their face but I spread it with a cotton and it seem to be okay. When I put foundation on my face to covers the flaws it doesn't even show any flaws at all and it usually does with the bumpy skin and large pores. So all the scars are lighten up and improving much better and all the blemish are going away. My acne are under control I don't break out anymore after using this peel so that's a plus. Anyways I will update more when I'm on my 6th application. And I'm hoping to see more dramatic result. Everyone have different skin when it comes to chemical peels and sometimes it works and vice versa. Well Good luck to everyone who try this!

After reading the other reviews and the instructions I think I must have received a bottle with no chemicals in it at all. It didn't do a single thing. In fact, I put it on and LEFT IT ON Overnight (against the instructions because of it's irritants) and it still did nothing. No redness, nada!
Overall Great Product May 12, 2010

Im a 22 year old female who has combination skin and pimple scars.I recently bought this peel and it works great, within the first treatment ( left on for a minute) my pores appeared smaller. I have never suffered too much when it comes to black heads but I have always had visable pores around my nose that could easily turn into a clogged pore. The burning sensation isnt unbearable, at first i didnt even feel any discomfort after the third treatment i decided i wanted something more drastic so i brushed the chemical on my face as opposed to using the cotton ball. I left it on for two minutes. This time I experienced a bit more burning, although my face stayed a slight pink, after two days my pores were practicly invisable, my slight pimple scars were gone, my face looked amazing, my skin appeared flawless. BE SURE TO MOISTURIZE AFTER EACH TREATMENT. The intructions say if possible to withdraw away from wearing makeup for a couple of hours after,to avoid harsh sunlight, and not to wax 48 hours before or after. My boyfriend couldnt stop staring. Over all i love this product, my skin looks so refreshed and flawless.
