| Pros: | The phenol peeling (deep chemical peel)offer the best results.
I hAd it only one time and it was a great improvement on the surface of my skin. |
| Cons: | It takes about 6 weeks before the skin is fully healed. The area is red.
Reduce exposure to sun or use sunscreen, there is some risk of hyperpigmentation. |
| Bottom Line: | With the phenol peel the ice pick scars, can be reduced. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Cons: | BURNING/ITCHING DURING PEEL |
| Bottom Line: | IVE HAD BAD ACNE ( CYSTIC TO B EXACT ) SINCE I WAS 16ISH AND NOW IM 24, I HAVE SCARING AND STILL GET BREAK OUTS ONCE IN A WHILE. IVE TRIED EVERYTHING FROM INJECTIONS TO PILLS TO MICRODERM....I FINALLY WENT TO A SPA AND STARTED GETTING PEELS. ITS BEEN 4 WEEKS NOW, I GET THEM DONE EVERY WEEK. IVE NOTICED A CHANGE IN BLEMISHES, NOT IN ACNE YET. I WAS TOLD ITS GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE PEELS AND SOME LASER ( WHILE I SWEAR BY, IVE DONE IT BEFOR ) AND I SHOULD B SEEING RESULTS IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. I RECOMMEND MICRODERM, PEELS AND LASER B4 I RECOMMEND MEDICATION. THE PEELS ARE 88$ PER PEEL. WELL WORTH IT |

| Pros: | I like the glycolic acid peel. It is gentle but effective. It improves skin texture and appreance. |
| Cons: | a little bit of stinging but doesnt hurt that bad |
| Bottom Line: | I bought a bottle of 30% glycolic acid for about $15.00. I do it 1-2 times a week. It improved my acne greatly and improved my skin tone and texture. My skin looks amazing. I reccommend this for anyone who doesnt want to go throught a TCA peel which is very very painful. |

| Pros: | I've found TCA to offer the best results. After a few applications of 15% TCA my red marks are greatly reduced, with one or two more I think they will be gone, or I will try 20%/25%. I used 50% glycolic acid also but I find this much less effective |
| Cons: | Down time after treatment. With TCA it takes about 4-6 weeks before the skin is fully healed. In the mean time the area is quite red. Moisturiser is needed and possibly sunscreen. Don't use topical acne medications on the peeled area. |
| Bottom Line: | TCA is well worth the money and CAN get rid of red marks and ice pick scars, though you have to be very patient and use a few times on the same area. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | As many of you well know, celebrities absolutely have to look beautiful. So I've had this procedure done by a certified chemical peeler, and the results are outstanding. |
| Cons: | A little red tone to the face for about a week or so after the treatments. For some, it might cause some flaking. |
| Bottom Line: | For all my fans out there...this really works.
Anyone wanting to try and look better, from wrinkle lines to blemishes and scars. The peel works...and come on...look at me.

| Pros: | zippo. SENSITIVE AND THIN SKINNERS KEEP AWAY! |
| Cons: | More scarring, more rednedss. more uneven texture, expensive, f**king painful, requires your face to be f**ked up and get you embarrased for a couple weeks. |
| Bottom Line: | I regret doing it so bad. dermatologist gave me glycolic acid. I did 6 sessions and was brave enough to go up the strength all the way to 70. After 3 times, I hadn't noticed anything, after 5 times i considered the possibility that all these peels are doing is making it worse, and the 6th time they really did me in and f**ked my face up all over. Red marks that were never there appeared, Gashes and small pits opened, i have much more scarring and burned skin. a sh*tlaod of moeny too. none of my dermatyologists say they can do anything else to improve it if you have any suggestions or were like me form-constants@[link removed] |

| Pros: | Seems to work sometimes. |
| Cons: | Skin looks awful for a few days after. Thin skinned people beware. Made some scars look better and others worse. |
| Bottom Line: | Glycolic acid peel (series of 6 peels): The esthetician that did mine was more interested in money than my face. I also couldn't ever go above 35% peel because my skin is so sensitive (but the peel does go up to 70% if you are a good candidate for it).
It helped lessen some of my scarring, but left red marks on other areas and made me break out the first few times, but it seems to dry up acne fast once your skin is used to it. It takes a while to look better after the peel..sometimes a week, and if you don't have your acne under control, it may not ever be fully satisfying.
p.s. after knowing how the peel is done, i just bought my own bottle of 35% solution to use once in a while. continued, moderate usage of glycolic acid peels are the best way to achieve results. it's really no different than going to the esthetician..only about 300 dollars cheaper! just know what you're doing(follow the directions) and pay attention to the skin at all times when you apply it. |

| Pros: | Makes skin soft, temporary reduces acne formation & facial shine |
| Cons: | Did not help with my small scars, expensive & faced was red for 2 weeks |
| Bottom Line: | Use if you want smooth, soft-feeling skin to the touch. Not exactly visually. Pigments still red. Have to use AHA at home. |
| Recommended: | No |
