Customer Reviews of Glyco-Lac/60, Level 2 Gel Peel -30 ml/1 fl ozCustomer Review: Nice Lite Peel Summary: 5 Stars
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!!!
