The packaging was good.The product is gel formNo visible difference after 10 applications

I won't recommend this product for self application because the concentration of the product might be too strong for your skin and leaving it burnt and pigmented.Things we should know before buying any chemical peels are,1) Expiry date would not be mentioned on the bottle and any chemical peel will expire in 3 months especially when it's oxidised means seal opened and it is most likely to cause adverse reaction to your skin, leaving it, to get allergic reaction and making the skin UV sensitive.2) Do not buy strongly concentrated chemical peel when you are a beginner for chemical peels, try with very low concentration and if you need stronger peel then you can do multiple application at one sitting. Do not try layered application when you are a beginner.3) Do not keep the bottle where the temperature is high, keep away from sunlight and it should be closed tightly.4) If you are using the product after a long period you are likely to experience more irritation as the acid will be more effective and it will be stronger than the first usage.5) Always prepare a neutralizer (Baking soda+water) and keep it close to you while applying the acid on to your face which will help you neutralize the skin if irritation occurs.6) Stop using any cosmetic product or medicated product on your skin before a week or 10 days if have acne proned skin.7) Always prep your skin before applying the chemical peel. (Using glycolic cream. Not recommended for all skin types)It worked well on my skin.

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 broke me out!

Perfect for glowing skin

This is my first review ever. I never take the time to write them, however I always read them before a purchase. I trust you guys to lead me to my final choice often. This is the first product I've ever bought for my skin that has surpassed any of my expectations.A little about me: mid 20's, male, constant acne and cystic acne (aprox. 5-10 zits/cysts on face at any given time), oily skin (beyond oily...), active, fit, healthy, dairy free 99% of the time, have tried all OTC acne/oil control, bought everything they could sell me at Neimans/Saks/Sephora, Clarasonic, tried light therapy, dedicated the "needed time" to perscriptons and creams from numerous dermatologists, diet change, candita test, allergy tests, get regular sleep, take twice daily a perscripton antibiotic (Bactrim)....I could go on and on.I was blessed with perfect skin my entire life until I moved for college. I will also, as humbly as possible say, I am aesthetically pleasing, well built, smart, successful, personable, etc... Since moving, the past seven years have been hell for me emotionally. My acne has controlled my life causing constant anxiety, fear of looking people in the face, and fear of walking through a room. I position myself in a chair where the lighting will not enhance my condition at a restaurant (if I even decided to go). It has cost me opportunities at school, work, and in relationships...if you can relate, you have my sympathy. I understand. I'm a 28 guy, and would be on the verge of tears because I couldn't even look in the mirror. I'm describing this not for pity, but only for those of you who read this who are suffering at my level (because some may be worse, some may be better).I purchased this product because my friend recommended me to this "miracle skin doctor" in Miami. I checked her out, saw her procedures, set an appointment, paid the $250 consultation, and took home a piece of paper telling me my treatment plan for the next six months (to the tune of over $2,800). Desperate, and fortunate enough to afford, I booked my first appointment. I checked out what was being done, googled it, saw a similar product to this come up on Amazon, researched countless products for two days, purchased this and the brush. It arrived two days later.Hesitant to apply, due to the fact I had no clue what the FU&K I was doing, and from reading the reviews about the burning and other side effects, I applied my first treatment.Started on my forehead, down my face, cheeks, nose, jawline, chin. It stung and burned a bit, but nothing as close to some others have experienced. It was tolerable enough; I applied a second layer. Waited the for about 20 seconds, then it was burning. I washed off with cold water.My skin felt a little "raw," I had to pat my face dry lightly. It felt a bit tingly. Right away applied an oil free green tea moisturizer (the freebie from my proactiv plus kit). Then I took a nap.I woke up, looked in the mirror, and was shocked. Instant difference in my tone and texture. Yes. Acne still there, but my face looked much "clearer." It's hard to describe. I Woke up the next morning and almost screamed. My active acne had shrunk considerably, with some completely gone. I went about my routine...Proactic plus face wash, pore minimizing toner (with alcohol and it did not burn my face to my surprise), proactiv plus pore minimizing serum, proactiv plus moisturizer. I did that for five days with my regular routine at night. Night: same face wash, 10% BP "spot treatment" on almost my entire face, sulfur mask as spot treatment on active acne.Every day got better and better. I usually have to use 5-10 oil blotting sheets a day. On day four, I went to blot out of habit before getting out of my car and the sheet had minimal oil spots. Blotted again at work. Same thing. Blotted again later at work. Same thing. Minimal oil. I was shocked. Day five came, did another peel, same feeling during the first trearment and about the same time. When drying my face, my face just felt clean. Not raw. I applied my moisturizer, and went about my day at home cleaning.Canceled my appts with the "miracle skin doctor."It's been three days since my second treatment. My EXCESSIVLY oily skin I used to suffer from is like gone! No BS. I do not have to blot nearly as often, only about twice a day. My skin tone is more even. My scars are already more faint. I even "picked" a scar off while shaving the other morning to discover even toned skin underneath. My face is clear except for a few spots. I have three small nodules; two that would have been cysts on my jaw line and one on my temple that would have been one of those deep soar under the skin mountains. They are currently small, I mean small, small little bumps. All other acne...gone. I use my skin routine described above still, I use a BP spot treatment on the three bumps also in the day. I used a mud mask (the origins black one) once since my first treatment. Some helpful tips, keep away from your eyes and the soft skin underneath. Close them really tight when rinsing off so the water with the product doesn't get into your eyes. Splash rinse cool water fast and constant so nothing is on your eyelids too long during the rinse period. Same goes for lips. Use a calming moisturizer after. Peeling has not been an issue for me. Did have some mild happen, my moisturizer took care of it.I have not noticed a dramatic difference in my pore size. I have not noticed a difference in wrinkles (not really suffering from this).Whatever you feel, I'm telling you, GIVE THIS SH*T A SHOT!! It's like $25bucks. If it doesn't work, throw it away!! Hand to God, this has been my experience and am astonished by early on results. I hope you have similar results, I will post a follow up, if I can figure out how to, in some weeks to come. I hope I have not written this in vein, especially since I'm on my iPhone and trying to type this. I hope you were able to take something from my truth.

I was skeptical about this product but I followed the instructions and using it about several times, I begin to see the benefits.

I've used this peel 3 times so far (for 1 minute, then 2 minutes, then 3 minutes about every 2-3 weeks). I wasn't sure how my skin would respond because I use a 10% glycolic acid TONER about 1-2 times per week.I followed the directions and used some of the recommendations from another reviewer:1) Wash face, let dry for a minute, wipe skin with thin layer of isopropyl alcohol (I used a thin cotton round and applied isopropyl alcohol to it, but an isopropyl alcohol prep pad can also be used). The instructions state not to apply isopropyl alcohol if your skin is sensitive; however, I consider my skin fairly sensitive and while I can feel it, this hasn't damaged my skin in anyway and prepares your skin for the peel (you should have better results if you apply the isopropyl alcohol).2) Apply one layer of peel over face (I've been using facial sponges, but a cotton round could also be used) and wait one minute before applying another layer. You can apply one layer each minute up to 5 minutes max (per package instructions).3) After the desired time (up to 5 minutes), apply a small amount of baking soda and water mixture, then rinse face several times with cool water.The instructions do not mention baking soda; however, this seems to nicely neutralize the skin (recommended by another reviewer). I recommend being cautious and only leaving it on for 1-2 minutes to start; however, I have gone up to 3 minutes with only mild redness and very mild peeling in one small area each time. While I'm still getting benefits from the peel without my skin peeling, I was really hoping for a peel as I have some mild acne scarring on my chin and temples of my forehead. I do think this is a great peel with the additional benefits of retinol; however, after trying it again for 4 then 5 minutes, I may have to try a higher concentration to see if I can get some mild peeling. I read online that the isopropyl alcohol should be applied to your skin twice, so I will try that next time.

So when I first started on these, I got the 50%. I thought since I was on .01 tretinoin gel, I could handle it. Ok no. Trust me when I say to work up in strength! This is not some cheap drugstore formula that you never feel it working. I purchased the 30% strength. I want to feel it but don’t want to burn my face off lol. This get is a good tween strength. This level is not for sensitive skin. Especially right out of the gate. You have to move fast and start in high tolerance areas first. Set a timer and pay attention to that and how your skin feels! I use my fingers. I start on my nose, then forehead, then chin. Then I quickly put on cheeks then upper lip area (mouth area is always fastest). Then I pay attention to how it feels. Tingle fine. Watch the timer. When you start feeling a burn start rinsing with cold water! It takes quite a few rinse passes to get it all off. Don’t mess around with this part. Rinse as much and as fast as you can. Until you don’t feel the burn anymore. Then IMMEDIATELY apply a moisturizing face cream with no fragrance or oils. I do not do my usual routine. I get the super moisturizing product lined up and open. I do this once a week. I don’t peel but I do notice my skin is way smoother and moisturized. Products go right in. Sometimes I do a couple layers of cream. Your face does feel tight but that is normal. I don’t break out from this. Don’t have breakouts when I stick to this. It works. Be patient and do not rush to the highest level. Read the instructions! I don’t keep this on for more than 30 seconds tops! I am rinsing around the 15-20 second marker. If you burned your face, you did it wrong. You either started with a too strong of a level or you left it on too long.For sensitive skin or beginners, I highly recommend the lowest level. Start in one area then rinse. Go to another area then rinse. 6 sections. Forehead. L and R cheek. Nose. Chin. Upper lip/mouth area. You have more control on how long to leave it. 1x/week. When the whole bottle is gone and your skin has tolerated this with absolutely no discomfort, then you can think about going to the next level. If you’re skin is still reactive, stay on the lower % for another bottle. This bottle should last a good 3 months. You don’t need a lot! Hope this helps. If anyone has questions about my review I’d be happy to answer!
