Janey, TX Sep 7th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It worked after two treatments and my face cleared up. Cons: Expensive and need it every month. It buns when applied and with the peel I had my face was yellow for a couple of hours (but I knew this so didn't plan on doing anything). Bottom Line: My acne could not be controlled by any product from a store/online (Pro-Activ, Acne Free, Clearasil, Daniel Kern, Murad, etc) or from a dermatologist (Differin, cremes, antibiotics, etc). I was very cautious to try this because of the expense and no guarantee, but I went for it and after two treatments I had already seen much improvement. I just had my third treatment a week ago and my face is a lot clearer than it has been since I've had acne. Recommended: Yes Usage: Janey has used this item for a few months.

Madison, Riverside, Ca Sep 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Face felt clean and tight. No down time, just felt like a mild sunburn. Removed superficial scars and discoloration. Cons: Lasted a month or so. Repeated treatments required. Bottom Line: This is the best treatment for skin that has blackheads and whiteheads and if you're a picker. It's at Kelly Day Spa at the Mission Inn Hotel and Resort. They have many treatments and can tell what is best for you. I really like the microdermabrasion with acid peel treatment and do it every month to three months. It is not very expensive and has great results within the first day. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 180.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Mandy, Minnesota Aug 10th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Light chemical peels work great for lighter acne scars, once your acne is under control. Obagi Blue peel works great if you have more layers done. Cons: Make sure you stay out of the sun, but you shouldn't be tanning anyways. :P For the Obagi Blue Peel your face is blue for up to a week and it takes to weeks to completely peel. Don't want to be seen out in public! Bottom Line: I am an Esthetician myself. I give my self light chemical peels with resorcinol which help some but I need to constantly be doing them. For the Obagi Blue Peel, I recommend finding someone who will give you anesthesia so they are able to penetrate deeper. There is no way someone can stand the pain with 4 or more layers if you are awake. I had great results except my acne wasn't under control. So now I have to start all over again. If you are not given anesthesia and only get 1-2 layers done don't expect good results. Light chemicals peels cost from $80-300 depending on where you go. For the obagi it was about $900 with anesthesia. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 100.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

eisha, Chicago,IL Jul 28th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: no peeling, quick in procedure Cons: cost, slight sting when applied Bottom Line: I'm african american, I went to medical spa and had two chemical peels. along with the peels I used a AHA cleanser, hydroquinone and retin-A prescribed by my doctor. altogether these products worked great in 2months my skin was almost clear. then i stopped using them because of the high price 90 for the peel, 120 for thr retin-A, 50 for the cleanser and 40 for the hydroquinone. i wish i had the money to continue because now my skin is worse then before i started.

Anonymous, Los Angeles, CA Jul 24th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None Cons: I had a facial peel prescribed to me by a dermatologist done yesterday morning and suffered severe 2nd degree burns due to it. I am certainly never doing this again if my face ever goes back completely normal. Bottom Line: Be warned, dermatologists are not to be always trusted.

L Thomas, Maryland Jul 8th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: A great exfoliator. Cons: Can e really drying. Bottom Line: I used to go to the derm once every two weeks to get a peel. I did it for almost 7 months and relized that I could by the Glycolic Peel online at [link removed]. Be careful though, my skin reacted well to it, others can really harm their skin by doing it at home. However, its going to take several treatments and scars are only going to lighten. Plus, the estitician I saw 3 weeks ago was appalled that American derms do this for young ppl. If your scars aren't too deep, the skin have natural healing ability. With the right holistic methods, skin will smooth by itself. 3 weeks of herbal creme from europe and what those peels didnt do, the kreme seriously already is begining to do.

Anonymous, Los Angeles Jul 6th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: At-home TCA peel 12.5%. I found this peel on the internet and I love it. It was only about $30 for a 1 ounce bottle (over 10 peels) and I have seen better results than with the lasers for not even a fraction of the cost. Cons: With a mild peel only a little bit of peeling and redness. Does take about a week before skin is completely back to normal though. Bottom Line: If you have mild rolling/icepick scars from acne that you had in your early teens this will definitely help. I would recommend getting a mild TCA peel (I got mine on Makeup Artists Choice) and doing it yourself. Combine it with an AHA cream/lotion and you will see even better results. I am saving hundreds of dollars and I have never been more satisfied with any other procedure (Fraxel and other non-ablative lasers and microdermabrasion). If you are fed up with Dr.'s that don't really listen or pay attention to what you want, I would go this route! I love being in control of the outcome and targeting the EXACT areas that bother me!
