Review of Glycolic Acid 50% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I started off using a 10% GA wash the last couple of years.After the trouble w/ my skin started to escalate, I searched for something new.I tried the 70% Lactic Acid Peel w/ horrible results, possibly due to my inexperience w/ that type of acid.Then I tried 35% GA, and was very pleased.Since I am accustom to GA I have used the peel every other day, never exceeding 5 mins. My recent face explosion and marks, formed before starting GA peels, are quickly fading, but of course not fast enough. Since I saw this working I decided to add the 50% to my routine once a week.

If you are use to 35% GA, you should be okay w/ the next step up.I actually felt less tingling w/ the 50% than the 35%. The consistency was a little more liquidity than the 35% as well.This definitely boosted skin turnover and healing for me.I need to also note that this company produces their peels w/ a lower PH level than recommended.I am unsure how this affects my skin overall, but I have not had any negative results w/ it in any case.

I have only seen my skin get better, since using these products.However, I suggest resisting the compulsion to overuse them.The ill effects of sensitivity & skin thinning will ensue if you misuse them.Also, be careful not to over exfoliate the forehead, since it already has the least amount of padding on the face.

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.
