Review of BHA+ Gel Peel, Roll-on (Professional)

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm pretty well versed in skin care, and have average skin. I had some mild discolorations from sun exposure and some mild pimples so I decided to give this a whirl having loved the effects of a mild peal at a spa some time ago. I should note I'm only 28 with medium skin tone. Em.. disaster. I rolled applicator tip across my forehead, which gets a lot of sun exposure, and onto one spot on my chin where the pimple had been.

I am now left with a scar-- basically wherever I rolled BHA peel the skin has become very dark and hyper-pigmented, and it's not a "scar" or "scab" i can hope to have come off..rather it's the actual pigmentation of the skin. After initially applying the product i had very little flaking, skin became rather light, then pink like i had suffered frost bite, and then this. I've been trying to cope with the darkness which is not getting any better for THREE WEEKS now. it's a nightmare. Impossible to cover, non of my expensive alpha hydroxy, glycolic, or even pure vitamin e creams have made any difference.

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.
