Sooooo I bought the 30% Glycolic Peel and ive been using it twice a week on my neck and chest for to months now and I havent seen that big of a change. Im 20 years old and ive been suffering from acne DARK MARKS for about 4 years and ive literally tried everything. I dont know if I should get a stronger version of this or get a skinbrightening cream. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Pros:

I am supposed to see some fresh, baby skin and smoother, tighter complexion, less brown spots

Cons:

I have not peeled, the acutual peel stung and was uncomfortable, but not horrible. I am breaking out like I have never before. this sucks

I don't know yet, but I am one day 3 and today I woke up with tons of white heads and raised red areas on my face..close together clusters of pimples..this royally sucks I onlyusually have hormonally related acne, or sweating related when I work out, etc, which is minimal. but now I am broken out all over the place.

Pros:

Doesn't seem to be very detrimental if you follow the instructions

Cons:

I didn't see any improvement during or after treatment

I used 35% glycolic acid peel as directed for 8 weeks, 1 treatment per week. I did tend to break out a few days right after each weekly session. I used lotion following the use of this product. I didn't see any results when I was done as i was expecting to. I was disappointed.

Pros:

helps get rid of dead pigmentated skin thus revealing new skin

Cons:

requires persistence,long time as in many treatments and each treatment is about a week apart and you have to avoid sunlight totally.

well, i have tried for about 2 months now with 15% gel and 30%peel. beginning was amazing, i got really confident. i am 37 with bad childhood/teenage breakouts which left bad pigmentation and clogged pores on chin, nose and forehead. i guess my problem lies deep deep under the skin so it would take me long time to see long lasting results. I was told its gonna take 6mths to fully see the results. I got bad breakouts now, well, they are in-between whiteheads and pimples. I tried to remove them but skin is very sensitive and they are all very close together, and they dont seem to come out totally cos they seem to come back. There are like countless of them. almost every pore has the sebum or pus. Anyway, i can see the skin is tightening and i could see the shine(not from oil but due to the tight skin). I would try to continue cos it is quite a torture cos face is feeling dry and full of breakouts. Until 6 mths, i would not know if it really really works.

Pros:

Skin is softer and getting a "glow" back, appears brighter.

Cons:

Although the overall look of skin is improving I got a huge breakout, about 8 pimples within 2 days of use. I have never had more than one pimple in 35 yrs, I used the product for fine lines and I'm not sure I'll keep using it.

I'll continue use for a few more weeks to see if the pimples go away and no more breakouts occur, if they do I will stop and find another solution for fine lines.

Pros:

brings up exsisting bumps and then dries them

Cons:

Makes skin feel tight and stings

find a place that does not charge too much and see how you like it. If you like it keep doing it and maybe then go to a more expensive place.

Pros:

softer and more youthful looking skin
helps with acne

Cons:

Slight burning (depending on strength, frequency, and duration)
Redness, dryness, and flaky skin

does not help with scarring and does not do much except overall just be a general exfoliation but this stuff is great though sorry it wont take off scars!
