Customer Reviews of Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Customer Review: This stuff works!
Summary: 5 Stars
If there was such a thing as a "magic" acne solution, this would be it. I'm a 26 y/o male and I've been having these outbreaks for awhile now. I've tried Proactive, Natures Cure, everything in the face washing section and nothing has worked until this peel. This product has dramatically decreased breakouts, cleaned and shrunk my pores, and helped my overall skin tone.
If you are a beginner, start off with the 20% solution and buy a skin Neutralized/pH balance. I use cotton balls to apply both the Peel and the Neutralizer.
First week: I applied twice that week giving a few days in between applications. Because I didn't know how my skin would react, I left the Peel on for only 2 minutes (this is plenty for the first few times).
Second week and On: I began increasing the time by 2 minutes every so often. Now I'm at 8 minutes per peel and still only using it twice per week.
This chemical peel is a remarkable product that is worth the time, money and a little pain.
Customer Review: Really?
Summary: 3 Stars
I have mix feelings about this product. I bought it after reading so many positive reviews and I was really looking forward to have my skin dramatically improved....but it did not work as well as i had expected. And it is not that I am not patient. I've been using it for 2 months now. And i use it religiously for 2 - 3 times a week, 5 minutes each time. My exiting pimples are gone faster then usual but they leave red scar for a long time while the new ones keep popping out. I remember some of the reviews describing the occurrence of the new pimples so it did not bother me too much since i thought it'll stop eventually but after two months, the new ones still come out near the area where the old ones are and it is ANNOYING! I also have questions about whether or not I should use mask (from other brands) or acne cream in between the usage of the Salicylic peel. And if it's ok to use the facial wash brush like Clairsnic mia the day after using the Salicylic peel? Did anyone know? Thanks for sharing!Customer Review: Pretty Effective
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok...never tried an at-home salicylic peel but this was pretty good. The directions said to use to before the acid peel (and Acid/Beta peel) but I wasn't sure about the pH or the sensitivity of my skin to this stuff.
Although--I plan to try a salicylic/glycolic peel back to back I feel as if I may have to use a weaker salicylic. My glycolic peel is strong (40-50%) and I'm scared that it may overwhelm my skin.
Anyway--I've never done a full-face salicylic peel.
I peel section of my face but I mainly use the salicylic for spot treatments once a week (i apply with a q-tip). You have to assess your own skin sensitivity to see what you can/can't handle but salicylic can be left on the skin as a spot treatment.
***Just don't try this with Lactic or Glycolic acid.***
But it works well. Thank God for peels. They're an excellent addition to my skincare regimen. It keeps my acne away. I have to buy more actually. I may try the 30% next time.
Customer Review: Amazing Results
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is absolutely amazing! I have mild-moderate acne. I always tend to break out in phases. And I hate those dark spots/scars that appear after my acne has disappeared! Usually it takes many weeks/months for those marks to fade!! I have tried numerous products that are supposed to fade those marks (such as Acne Free fade gel, Neutrogena, even prescription cream), but none have worked as well as this Salicylic acid gel peel!!! I received this item about a week ago, and my marks are almost completely gone. Some of the reviews state it takes a while, and I think it totally depends on the severity of acne and scars. I do not think this will get rid of major scars that cause indentations on the skin, but it definitely works to fade those dark marks. I leave it one for about 5-10 minutes morning and night, and follow up with a thick moisturizer/night cream--since it makes me dry out a bit. I am almost at the point where I don't need concealer anymore! Definitely worth the buy!Customer Review: Gradual but effective
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this product for about two weeks now, though not on a regular schedule. The first day I got it, I used it for two consecutive days. I try to use it about every three days depending on the dryness of my skin. When I first used it, it burned very badly and I left it on for a minute. Initially, I saw no changes in the clearness of my skin and it actually made my skin very dry at first, then very oily even when using a good moisturizer. There was quite a bit of peeling on my nose after the first couple uses and I wouldn't recommend wearing makeup after using this unless you want to look cakey and flaky. I typically use it on Fridays and leave it on for the maximum 8 minutes then let my skin recover over the weekend. My skin looks quite a bit clearer with a few minor cystic blemishes here and there. Overall, I would recommend this product. It works better than most other acne products I've tried. Just be patient and persistent. :)
