Editorial Review: What is a Salicylic Acid peel? Salicylic Acid is the new generation of products for improving the appearance of ageing skin. Dermatologists now agree that Beta Hydroxy, Salicylic Acid is a superior exfoliant that improves the appearance of ageing, sun-damaged skin without all the irritations associated with the Alpha Hydroxy, Glycolic Acid. Salicylic Acid Peels are effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall facial texture because it exfoliates both the skin surface and within pores, without all the irritations commonly associated with the Alpha Hydroxy, Glycolic Acid." It has been found that Beta Hydroxy, Salicylic Acid is effective with as little as one-fifth the concentration typically found in products containing Glycolic Acid. In a single study comparing a 1.5 percent Salicylic Acid product and an 8+ percent glycolic acid product, the Salicylic Acid product was shown to be a more effective exfoliant.

 Great Product on Ebony Skin , 2008-06-06
I started getting acne young, when i was about 10 and i didnt know how to look after my skin then. No cleansing, toning or even moisturizing because i thought that would give me more spots, what a fool i was.
The problem with black skin is that it hyperpigments easy and by the time i was 21 i couldnt bare to look at myself in the mirror, i had so many acne scars i couldnt stand it. Dermatologists were no help, the pills and creams are useless if you dont have a good skin care regimen which is something the doctors dont usually tell you.
In 2001 called around and was told by everyone on Harley Street that dermabrasion and skin peels were not for black skin tones so i paid £1800
for lazer treatment. It worked to some extent, the spots went and my skin looked clearer but if i had known about this product i wouldnt have bothered.
The truth is that these skin acids can and are used safely on ebony skin tones and have been for years. I am a caramel complexion (like Tyra Banks), my first peel ever was the Skin laboratoty 70% lactic acid peel and i experienced no problems at all, just be sure to follow the instructions. My second peel was the salicylic 20% peel by Skin Laboratory and my skin looks great. My skin is visibly clearer, lighter due to the fact that the hyperpigmentation is fading, i just look great and i'm so happy. And for the price, its a bargain compared to £200 per month on microdermabrasion or £1800+ for a course of lazer treatments. I would highly recommend both the product and the company. I honestly cant imagine my life without these peels now, i'm totally smitten.

Works fine for the face, 2008-05-09
I didn't quite know what to expect when I bought this. After reading instructions I gave it a shot, it burns somewhat but no worse then putting a liquid bandaid on. After three days or so I noticed the top layer of my skin was starting to peel. Week and a half of using it every other day and my skin has peeled twice and returned to normal.
I can tell the difference, like one reviewer noted yes it doesn't completely get rid of a scar but it did what it was supposed to, blend it in a lot better. Newer scars are completely gone, older one faded just a bit. I would buy this again.

 I think it works, 2008-05-08
It works to shrink existing zits and I think it softens the scars as well. I haven't used it long enough to know for sure. But for the price, it's definitely worth the try. Go easy on the first few applications.

 Doesn't "completely" remove pimple scars, 2008-05-08
I've had a pimple problem for years. After years of trying different brands of items, going to doctors, nothing really works for me. I accepted the fact that I couldn't "stop" pimples.
The truth is pimples stay present for a small period of time on a person's face. What stays for a longer time are the scars left after pimples.
This product is said to remove the scars after a pimple has come and gone. Honestly, it does peel some skin off the scar, but the scar never really goes away. I followed specific instructions that came with the product and I wasn't able to get the results promised. My pimple scar seems like it looks a bit better, but that's it. I can still see it clearly.
I wouldn't recommend this product. Do some of your own research and try to find some competitive products that work better.
