Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First of all, I want to mention how very strong this peel is. Not only does it have a rather strong chemical odor, but it really stings when applied. The instructions say to leave it on for 30 seconds for the first application and build up to several minutes on subsequent applications. However, the first time I used this product, I could only stand leaving it on for about 10 seconds. It stung rather intensely, and the chemical fumes made my eyes water so that I could barely keep them open. I had to rinse my skin off for a good 5 minutes to makes the burning stop, but after that, my skin was hardly red and it didn't burn at all anymore. Each time I use this, I've only been able to keep it on for about 10-15 seconds longer than the previous time before I had to rinse it off. Also, the instructions say to apply only once every 10-14 days, but I've been using it every 7 days since I rinse it off so quickly.
Even though I haven't been able to keep it on for more than 30 seconds tops, I've really noticed a difference in my skin. I have pretty bad skin: acne-prone, lots of old indented scars, and hyperpigmentation like no other. But I just did my third application, and my skin is a lot smoother and old acne spots are very noticeably fading. My pores practically disappeared overnight, and my face is sooo much less oily during the day. In just one day, I could already see results, and they just get better with each application.
I've used this company's glycolic peel before, which made me break out after each use and left my skin red for a week afterwards. However, I've haven't had any breakouts with this peel, and it doesn't leave my face red at all (but that might be because I leave it on for only a short amount of time).
Overall, I would really recommend this product (use it carefully!), and I can't wait to see the full results in a few more weeks!
UPDATE: So I'm on my second round of treatment (6 weeks at a time), and I'm still loving this product. Now that I've been able to keep it on for 3-4 mins though, it does make my skin slightly red. But it's nothing terrible, and it starts to fade in a few days. I am still seeing improvement in the texture and complexion of my skin. After my first 6-week treatment, I took a break for 4 weeks, and I noticed that my skin continually looked better and better every week. Now that I'm back on the peel, it does look a little worse, but once I'm done again, it will probably start getting better. So in my experience, it takes several weeks after treatment to get the full effect of this amazing peel.
Also, as a disclaimer, be warned of the chemicals in the ingredients, particularly hydroquinone. You can search up some information on it and use at your own discretion! I felt that the potential benefits were worth the risks (just my opinion), but I discontinued use after one bottle.
