- BCBonnie C.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoNo action
Have applied 3 times; first 2 times for 1-2 minutes. 3rd time for roughly 5-6 minutes. Tolerated the stinging/burning sensation for a longer period of time that 3rd try, but after several days and now more a week or more later, no noticeable effects. No visible effects of having applied the acid. Followed the skin prep protocol each time.
- RRRaquel R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoGreat weekly peel
Potent peel but still gentle with great results. I use this peel once a week and I get a glass skin effect after. I always see progressive results every time I apply this peel.
- RRRebecca Romero R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 weeks agoLove This
This has helped with my sun spots and dark spots. I had one on my forehead that everyone thought was a birth mark, it was dark and very large. I tried other products to lighten it and nothing worked. This took that mark away and other marks as well. It also helps when I feel a cystic pimple developing. I put this on and it heals it quickly. I also gave a bottle of this to a friend to try and she loves it.

- Do not apply to sensitive skin areas or open wounds
- The results for each person will vary depending on skin sensitivity, contact time, number of layers, and skin density
- Applying the peel more than once per week will increase the risk of skin sensitivity
- Do not tan 1 week prior and 2 weeks after treatment as this can potentially cause unwanted skin discoloration, excessive redness, or rash
- You will experience a stinging or tingling sensation. If excessive stinging or discomfort occurs, neutralize the peel by flushing the skin with cool water
- Redness may occur for a short period of time, especially for those with sensitive skin types. If redness persists longer than 20-30 minutes, decrease the contact time of the peel or discontinue use
