Pros:

-Clears up mild/moderate red marks within a few peels
-Smooths out skin etc
-May see a improvement in very shallow scarring and helps with mild ancne (dries it out)

Cons:

-Somewhat unpleasant tingling
-Takes several peels to notice the change

recommended for light acne sufferers who have stubborn red marks, i bought a 30% 30ml glycolic acid peel with neutraliser and toner from Ebay for 9.60 and it will last for ages cos you only need to use 1-2 ml per peel

Pros:

clears acne fast. skin looked better in less than a week.

Cons:

it stung really bad, and the extraction part hurt too.

it hurts, but its worth it. i was on retin-a micro for about two months, and it was working, but this cleared out the stubborn bumps that were still there. go to an esthetician! i think that has a lot to do with how well it works.

Pros:

It improves skin tone, clears up acne, smooths out wrinkles and reduce pore sizes.

Cons:

It tingles.

After I had my son, my skin broke out really bad because of my hormones. I did take some medication to help with the acne, but unfortunately I still had uneven skin tone and small acne still popping up. I bought some glyoolic peels and used them for 6 weeks. I was amazed! I loved it!

Pros:

I have experienced noticable improvement in my complextion. Smaller pores fine lines have begun to fade and my skin is smoother and more firm.

Cons:

The peels are done at one week intervals and for three days after applying your skin doesnt look so great. So for three days out of seven your complection is worse.

I have done a total of 4 peels. Two at 30% and two at50% at one week intervals. I plan on doing 3 more. I have seen such an improvement in my skin. I also have been applying a copper peptide night cream after the peels and think this is beneficial, as well as applying hayluronic acid lotion and spf 70 sunscreen before leaving the house in the morning. I work outdoors and live in FL and unfortunatley did not make an effort to protect my skin for any years. However these peels are proving its never to late and they actually can still repair and restore my skin.

Pros:

My skin is more even-toned, smoother skin, cleared up most of my adult acne.

Cons:

Drying, temporary burning after washing off the glycolic acid.

I use a 50% Glycolic acid peel. I do a peel once a week and I'm getting a lot of compliments about my complexion. The only pet peeve I have about the glycolic peel is the burning sensation I experience right after I wash off the glycolic acid. I usually stick my head in the freezer to minimize the burning sensation!

Pros:

clears up skin, lightens scars, makes it less oily, makes skin smoother..you actually see ur skin lightly peeling, which indicates that the scarred, dull skin is peeling off

Cons:

dries up face (not really a problem->use moisterizer)

i am using this product biweekly and have already done 2 treatments in 3 weeks. in the 1st treatment, it was great. my face was less oilier. 2 days later, i had breakouts on my forehead of the pimples that were under my skin, which is good..its cleared my skin from the inside. 4 days later my skin had dry blotches that were peeling off. about 1 week later, the scars were ALITTLE lighter. my skin felt like a babys skin, not that it was rough to begin with but it just felt alot smoother and baby feeling. my second peeling, was good. i started noticing my scars slightly fading like 5 days later. not much difference, theyre still there but its a start. theyre continuing to fade as the old skin peels off. its alot better than using fading creams that take approx 6 weeks to see results!

Pros:

clear skin! more even skin tone, helps with mild pitting, only have to apply 1-2x week

Cons:

burns a little during application, can't buy at a retail location, have to purchase online, not supposed to use if pregnant/lactating

I started doing biweekly glycolic peels over two months ago and my acne is gone. I am 28 and have struggled with acne since college and tried everything. I have tried every product that Wal-Mart offers, Proactive, Dr. Murad...I mean everything. Now my routine is washing and moisturizing twice a day and a 4 minute peel with 50% twice a week. I have used this in the past with good results but got pregnant and had to stop using.
