Customer Reviews of HQ+ Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Customer Review: Finished my 6th peel... this is the best peel for your buck
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm in love with this HQ+ gel peel. A bit of background on my skin: I'm 30, no sun damage, non smoker, no wrinkles that I've noticed, but I've had persistent mild to moderate acne since my early teens. I have large pores, and blackheads on my nose and chin. I use a 2% salicylic acid liquid on my face daily but I realized I needed something with more "oomph" to deal with acne and my pores. Before using this peel, if I tried to "express" the blackheads on my chin, it was difficult to do and it would backfire on me and become huge inflamed blemishes. I am also fair skinned, and acne would leave a red "shadow" of itself for a few weeks after the blemish itself had disappeared. I also had a fair bit of redness around my nose... I do blow my nose a lot as I have allergies.
In my search for a peel with more "oomph" than my regular skin care routine, I first tried both the salicylic 20% and the glycolic 35% by Skin Laboratory, and didn't really get any "Wow, my skin looks great!" results. I'd done 3 peels of each of those two peels, fyi.
So I ordered a bottle of the HQ+ peel. In terms of my skin recovering from the HQ+ peel, my skin is red the first day (I do the peel in the morning), but the next day it's glowing and the redness is gone. Sometimes the skin around my nose will start sloughing/peeling 2-3 days after I do the peel (probably because that's where my skin is most sensitive). I may get some dryness around my mouth.
Yes, the bottle says "gel peel" but it isn't a gel, it's a liquid (doesn't surprise me, there's salicylic acid in this and it usually comes in the form of a liquid). I wouldn't really call it "smelly", I'd say it just has quite a bit of fumes. I can't hold the cotton makeup pad I apply the peel with near my face for long because the fumes seem to take my breath away, so I apply the peel quickly as I can. Keep this in mind if you are sensitive to smells or fumes. Also, my skin is sensitive so this peel really feels like it's burning, especially around my nose where the skin is thinnest.... to be able to tolerate the peel longer before I have to wash it off, I'll sit in front of a fan or I'll turn my hairdryer setting to "Cool" and blast cool air on my face. That really helps the burning feeling subside.
So, now on to the results of the peel: I've just finished my 6th peel (one peel per week, so it's been 6 weeks), each one done for 3-5 minutes, but I'll tell you I saw a difference after the first peel. Two days after the first peel, I noticed that my skin had a lovely glow... not shiny, mind you, but just... glowing. It wasn't its usual blah self, normally I have to use a skin brightener with my makeup to get that effect.
My pores seem smaller and that glow lasts all week until the next peel. It's improved the red marks my acne leaves behind, and there's a general more even tone to my skin. Also, when I try and express blackheads on my chin (yes, I do still have them after doing this peel) they express easily and they don't turn into huge blemish monsters! I've also had no big blemishes since doing these peels, and only two or three tiny tiny blemishes that quickly go away.
I'm pleased as punch with this peel. No, it's not laser resurfacing or a heavy duty peel, but the HQ+ peel is affordable and it doesn't make my skin look like hamburger where I'd have to hide from people for weeks until I'd recovered. And I'm young enough that I don't need the "big gun" peels yet anyway. For my poorly behaved pores, this stuff is doing the trick.
Update 2 weeks later: Something to note, I have to continue using this peel once a week to get the benefits of keeping my pores clear and blemish-free. I tried to go 2 weeks before doing my 7th peel, and around day 11 into the 2 weeks, my pores were starting to misbehave and clog up again into a couple pimples, one on my chin and another on my forehead. So on day 12 I did the HQ+ peel and the blemishes are already healing quite nicely the day after. So, I'll be planning to do this once a week. Easy to do seeing as the redness fades quickly on me (even with my sensitive skin) and the bottle does a lot of peels, I don't think I've made much of a dent in this bottle even with 7 peels.
Description of HQ+ Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
The HQ+ peel is a helps to inhibit tyrosinase, which is a basic enzyme in the melanin formation process. Several of the active Ingredients present in HQ+ formula act by blocking this enzyme, even by inverting the metabolic process of the transformation chain. Its principle action is the elimination of melanin patches on the face (melasma and chloasma). The melanin activity is regulated, causing the cells to slow down melanin production and function in a more uniform way. HQ+ guarantees the improvement of undesirable skin blemishes with a high safety margin, and is considered a power level skin rejuvenation treatment for stubborn and dense pigmentation.
This peel is not recommended for people with sensitive skin, or those new to chemical peels. Skin Laboratory's Salicylic/20 is a great peel to get your skin accustomed to chemicals peels with less risk of irritation.
