Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'll start off with saying that I bought the 35 glycolic peel for my acne and was able to leave it on for 10 minutes (with little to no pain at all) and I applied it every three days. I honestly didn't see much as far as results so I ordered the BHA+.
I just applied it about half an hour ago for the first time and thought I would give anyone an idea of my first experience with it.
WOW! Much stronger. It felt like it was burning my face off. From the time I started applying to my forehead until the time I started rinsing it off was probably an even 60 seconds. Very painful. It took a lot of rinsing until the burning was just a stinging. I patted my face dry and it was pretty red and still stinging but that all went away within 2 minutes. Even though my face didn't look clearer (obviously blemishes can't disappear that quickly lol), my skin looks more even. Right now my face feels good. I applied a light moisturizer and it doesn't feel dry at all.
Maybe other people don't have such a sensitive reaction to the BHA+ like I did but I feel like I can put up with under 5 minutes of torture if it will clear my skin. Hopefully it will be worth the trouble! :)
I will update again in a few weeks to let you all know how it works in the long run. I just felt like this might be important for anyone considering purchasing the product to know what the actual process is like rather than just the results.
UPDATE!
I have been using this product religiously since I first bought it, applying it every 7-10 days. I still haven't seen much improvement overall, but I think it does help a little bit. It almost seems like the pimples themselves are smaller. They are less numerous but I still definitely have acne and there hasn't been a day that I've even been close to having clear skin.
I've been able to leave it on for longer and I always leave it on for 5-6 minutes. It does dry out my skin and I've been needing to use a light moisturizer every day but this is a good thing because I've never been able to use moisturizer. I live in a really dry area too and since it's winter, it's especially dry.
I do think that overall my skin has improved, but this product hasn't been a miracle worker for me. I've been noticing though that I think since I live in a dry area, it really contributes to my acne as well because whenever I go on vacation to a humid place, my face clears up immensely. I'm moving to Hawaii in about 6 months so maybe with this product combined with some humidity to keep my face moisturized, I will improve. If so, I'll update on here again because it may be helpful to anyone who does live in a more humid environment. It's funny how the place you live can influence your skin! :)
I think that for anyone with difficult skin, this product is without a doubt worth trying. I'm sure that once I run out I'll buy it again because it does help me more than anything else I've used.

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 is also generally more suited to oily skin.
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 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.
