Product Description

Level 1) Glycolic/35, Lactic/35, Salicylic/20

Level 2) Glycolac/60, Lactic/50 - Twice as strong as L1

Level 3) Glycolic/50, Lactic/70, BHA+, HQ+ - Twice as strong as L2

Choosing a Peel:

Glycolic: stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. It's small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25%  thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid generally causes little or no visible peeling.

Lactic: works on the surface of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate surface cells which helps to perfect the skin's surface and restore the skin's natural glow.

Glycolac: With a combination of Glycolic (25%) with Lactic (35%), it provides hydration and tone improvements of the Lactic, with the increased collagen stimulation of the glycolic. It is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels or the skin.

Salicylic: a great kertolytic which means it helps loosen the bonds between skin cells to promote exfoliating. It is the only hydroxy acid which is oil soluble which allows it to penetrate into clogged pores. It can be used more frequently than the other peels without must risk for irritation.

BHA+: Hands down the best peel for acne and oily skin. You should expect some visible flaking of the skin 2 days after using the peel. This will help with active acne blemishes as well as old acne marks, and a variety of other skin problems.

HQ+: This peel is best for pigmentation and acne scarring. Similar to our BHA+ peel, with added ingredients which to help to fade pigmentation differences and even skin tone. If you suffer from old acne marks, age spots, or melasma, this peel will be the most effective in helping you.

Customer Reviews

Great, but takes patience4
I just got this product in the mail last week and I have used it twice so far. It says to use it once a week, but I didn't really notice anything so I did it again 3 days later. I am definetly noticing a difference in my skins texture and my melesma is a lot lighter. I am hoping that with another 2 or 3 applications my skin flaws will be barely noticeable.

A Good Sting4
This won't make you into the next Angelina but it does do a great job of giving you baby smooth skin. It rolls on easily and the acid just stings like you really want to itch your face. But don't worry, it's not painful. It rinses off easily and when applied very regularly (for those with a better memory than myself to do that) it can definitely lighten blemishes and help erase the mistakes in your complexion. I started using it because it's very similar to what my favorite spa uses in facials.

glycolic acid peel2
The problem with this product is it is hard to get enough on your face at one time. It doesn't roll on very easily. By the time I get enough on my entire face, it is time to take it off part of my face. The glycolic pads work much better.
