Anonymous Jun 26th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Bottom Line: I got Glycolic peels done. They recommended me 4 sittings initially. But eventually they suggested me more sittings intervaled at 15 days - 30 days per sitting. I had around 10-12 peeling sessions. The positive change was visible on my face. It has been 2 years now when I had the treatment. Pimples do come now, but the frequency and number has reduced. During the treatment, my skin was more sensitive to sun. Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 50.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Audrey, Florida Jun 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: i havent seen them yet...so the above "how well it works...agreeability...affordability" isn't accurate Cons: burns during the process. So far, my skin has gotten more pimples, red, a type of acne i hadn't seen ebfore. I can't go out in the sun. Bottom Line: I just got the chemical peel yesterday, but so far, i havn't seen any improvement, and i think my skin has actually gotten worse. I didn't have any on my chin, now there are visible pimples, and around my cheeks i can deffientely see more acne. My doctor did say that every two weeks i would need another peel, and i would see a clear face between the third and fourth peel. I really hope she's right becouse i've been hiding behind my acne for a while now. I'll post the results of the later peels once (or if) my face gets clear.

Pros: Skin is very smooth, haven't had any breakouts since getting monthly peels. Cons: None Bottom Line: I have been getting salicylic acid peels about every month for the past three months. I did a series of glycolic peels but they didn't work as well in controlling breakouts. The day after the peel my skin feels very tight and need lots of moisture but doesn't peel. I don't think it has done anything to make my wrinkles less noticeable (I am 38) but it has reduced my breakouts drastically plus my skin feels really smooth and just looks better overall. I really recommend getting them!! Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 85.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

anonymous, london Jun 10th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: got rid of a little scarring Cons: made more spots appear Bottom Line: At first my acne started on my forehead it wasn't very bad but I got very painful spots and they also left deep scarring even if i didn't squeeze them. So I went to the pirvate clinic in harley street they looked at my skin and reccomended a glychol peel. I went for the treatment it got rid of some scars but not alot. I got little outbreaks, they said it was normal so I carried on with the treatment and homecare until the 6th session. okay finished all courses and not much of a change. So they told me I need to wait about a month before I come back for the check up. So I carried on using the homecare treatment and suddenly I started to break out like mad I was getting about 3-4 spots a day?! Now thanks to them my whole face is covered in acne till today! I am still trying to find a way to get rid of them. My advice is to think carefully before you go into these treatments. I want to go and try at a different place but i'm scared it might make it worse so im torn. very depressing. Recommended: No Usage: anonymous has used this item for a few months.

Anonymous, USA May 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: -baby soft skin after peel -if I receive the peel on Thursday, I look much better by Monday and don't have to take time off of work -notice difference in tone and texture after 3 peels Cons: -caused me some breakouts (esthetician said this is normal) -must limit sun exposure (so hard in the summer!) -went spray tanning after mini micro session and had SEVERE burning on face and breakouts on neck. My fault Bottom Line: I'd give these anywhere from 3.5 to 4 stars overall. I got the Vitalize peel about 2 months back and then purchased a 5 pack b/c I knew my scars and hyperpigmentation would need at LEAST the minimum 5 for me to see any results. Each peel is individually priced at $175 but the 5-pack special was only $575. I've had 3 peels so far with mini micro sessions one week after each peel. Unlike some reviewers, I peel BIG TIME for only about 2 days...once in the shower, I massage lightly with my fingers to remove all of the flakes. I was even able to go out to the bar 3 nights after my peel. I see a noticeable difference in my red marks and a huge change in my skin texture. Hopefully the next 3 will be successful to. I know the peels won't completely remove my shallow scars but am considering trying injections to even everything out. I've been suffering so long that cost and effort is no longer an issue! I just want smooth, clear skin! Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 575.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

AM, Beijing Apr 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Reduction in pore size, faster healing on boils, reduces scars, reduces breakouts, makes skin look younger Cons: A bit pricey on a regular basis, some blistering on the spots Bottom Line: This is an excellent treatment-- but I believe it requires regular use. I started this about a year ago at my dermotologist's office. They are light acidic peels, used in conjunction with the neosoft product range. They are about US$150 each time. I started off doing them at a low acidity level of about 20% of intervals every 2 weeks, while slowly increasing the acidity level. After the first 4 times, I began going every month, then every 2 months, and now every 3 months. It's expensive, but my acne and breakouts have improved substantially. People even complement my skin now, which seems crazy to me. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 150.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Jessenia, London, England Apr 6th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: - Fantastic result - Pain Free Cons: - Blue tint left for 24 hours - 5 weeks downtime - Price Bottom Line: OBAGI BLUE PEEL: I am in London, and 20 years old, I have had acne since the age of 14 and had really bad scarring. I tried everything from bio-oil to creme de la mere, and although they helped, nothing helped more than the OBAGI BLUE PEEL. It took 40 minutes by my specialist to apply and take off, and with 48 hours i was peeling. Whats great about it is that it gets rid of all your spots that includes white heads and black heads, and scarring that you have. It took my skin 5 weeks to fully mend itself and thank god my skin is now flawless. However I have done alot to maintain this. i.e. I am on a strict cleansing, toning, and moisturizing regime as prescribed by a specialist (obagi products) and eating healthily. I have also found that drinkin 2 litres of water a day has helped TREMENDOUSLY and i have kept my skin flawles The price for this peel was £1000 which is about $2000 I presume Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 2,000.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

M, PORTLAND,OR Mar 26th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: the texture of skin becomes smoother after just one peel. kinda lighten some scarrings Cons: once you get the peel u'd better get prepare to stay at home for a week!!Your face will look scary for a week n u gotta control your hands to not tear off the flaking skin! Bottom Line: I got the LUNCHTIME PEEL at the dermatologist office and the lady told me that there would be little or no downtime and this treatment wont peel like what the Vitalize peel does, it will be slight flaking but not actually peeling like a onion...my face turned super red in a hour after the treatment, n the redness last until the third day morning, eventually the redness became dark brown n glassy, some spots around the corner of my eyes even became the scabs! The whole face was so tight n dry..at the third day's night the skin actually started peeling around the mouth...it was not FLAKING, it was peeling like the onions!!! (I'm so glad that I didn't get Vitalize peel) I couldn't go out for 4 days because the serious peeling.I have 2,3 small breakouts after the peel but they cure fast..it's my fourth day after the peel, I'm glad to see the result after just one peel!
