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.
Based on the product description it’s a light chemical peel. What is a definition of light? I didn’t feel or see any peeling at all. I’m very disappointed. Will not buy any product from this company again.

This product is so so….not as strong as I have been used to in the past.

I have had 4 peels, and the hyperpigmentation in my face has been broken and faded.
I scrub it very gently, and only once for 4 minutes. I am going to complete the 6 peels, and rest for a couple of months before re-starting. Also, the bottle is still 3/4 full.
I would recommend it.

I just came on to Amazon to buy my 2nd shipment. I have also recommended this company/product to two other friends + my 62 yo mom who are converts.
I’m a fair-skinned, freckle faced 36 yo originally from Arizona. I spent my fair share in the sun and now am beginning to see the effects of this. On a regular basis, I would have chin breakouts and along my hairline. I also started developing sun spots (wider, browner freckles) on my forehead and cheekbone and fine lines around my eyes (I was anti-sunglasses in the past). I’m going on 3 months of using this product weekly for 3-4 mins each time. I never peel, but my skin gets tight. I did work my way up… beginning at 30 secs the first time and so on… (I have “sensitive” skin so I was leery…)
My skin is smoother, some of my freckles have faded (especially the very prominent ones, my skin feels dewier and some of the crepe-like fine lines are less noticeable. I also know it’s working because I still get breakouts on my neck occasionally…so now I’m using the product on my neck to combat this.
My one downside: It doesn’t fade the freckles as much as I would like, but the other benefits outweigh this “con”.

I got this because I have some post acne hyperpigmentation along with some hyperpigmentation from the sun and I read that lactic acid is one of the best peels for hyperpigmentation. I have done 6 peels so far and I did them two weeks apart. I put like three layers of it on my skin and let it sit there for 10 minutes. I didn’t have any peeling or anything which was good! It did fade some of my recent pigmentation but it really hasn’t worked like I hoped! I think I might need something stronger. It didn’t really help with breakouts either!
