(6 reviews)Editorial Review: Glycolic Acid is a superficial peeling agent that is made from sugar cane. It is often considered the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA). With repetitive and continuous use, improvement to skin tone and texture occurs. Once inside the skin's cell, glycolic acid will serve as a catalyst for the formation of new collagen which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin's surface. Glycolic acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, melasma, actinic keratosis, acne, and oily skin, as well as other cosmetic uses. Our kit provides you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of professional results at home, for a fraction of the cost. What You Can Expect Several layers of surface skin will be exfoliated very quickly... within 10-12 minutes. There is no noticeable peeling, just a sloughing action that will leave your skin feeling smooth and looking refreshed. The dry, dead, glued-together surface sebum that makes skin look dull and clogs pores, will be dissolved and removed. With continued use as directed the skin will look more youthful and vibrant.

Great skin clearer, 2008-10-04I have had such bad skin since starting new meds and this stuff is really working. I have been using it once a week for about a montha dn am seeing results. Great stuff and not too harsh for my sensitive skin, but wokrs far better than any other acne meds.

OK, though no peeling, 2008-09-12I have this peel. I had never used a peel before. However, being a scientist I decided that I could study up on application and recovery and do it myself at home. I purchased a cleanser, a prep solution, the peel and a healing balm for the procedure. The first application had a little sting. I was disappointed that I did not see much in the way of results. I decided to wait a couple days and do the peel again. I followed all of the steps. I put the peel on a little thicker than the first time. My skin stung more and it turned pink all over. I thought; "YES! This is going to finally peel!". No. It did not happen. This "peel" seems to make the skin more shiny and softer. However, it does not make my skin peel. I tend to have dry and sensitive skin, which is why I started with this peel. I was hoping to get some of the skin discoloration from my pregnancy last year off my skin. I will move on to a slightly different formulation with the next peel I order. This one is more superficial than what I wanted.

does what it says, 2008-08-28This product came with a small bottle of the salicylic acid peel, which i used beforehand. It was much stronger than this to me, but i dealt with it, plus it was nice that they included it in the package. I had yet to find something that would lighten the noticable dark places on my face but this has done it. i am in my early 40s and although my skin was not really bad, it has made a noticable difference, especially in the tone. it does tingle upon application but doesn't burn, and I had no peeling effect, but i am overall happy with it and will be ordering more.

Will do it again, 2008-08-26I bought this, and tried to get my mom and sisters to do it with me, but they saw "acid gel peel" and wouldn't go near it. Well, they missed out because I used it about a week ago, and my skin is incredibly soft, and looks much better than when it did to begin with. I will let my skin have a break for a little while, and I'm definitely going to do it again!

Something that TRULY works., 2008-05-06I was really excited when i found a dermatologist strenght product for my skin. I have had acne for a long time and it hasn't been bad for a while, but recently i have had some breakouts and i wanted something that was going to control my acne. This product works very well. I am very reluctant to buy acne products because so many in that past have failed. I loved this product and would recomend it for anybody with skin problems.
