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.

The product was effective and provided a good peel. My skin looks great afterward.

I use it after 4 nights of skin healing, and using rich skin barrier strengthening lotion after the peeling so everything will go healthy, and my skin looks amazing !!!!

I am 55 with melasma on my neck and sunspots. I have crows feet and my skin has changed since menopause. I have used 30% Glycolic Acid for over a decade and was ready for a stronger peel. I like that this peel has retinol and green tea extract. This peel is fantastic! The directions inside the box are complete and very informative. You can apply about 5 passes MAX with the cotton round. I only did two passes on my arms and legs. Gently in circular motion. If you are new to peeling, do less passes and when it starts to sting, rinse it off. You should be able to go longer each time you peel. Do not peel more than once a week! Maybe to the face every two weeks and the body every week. I applied to face, neck, chest and legs (not my knees but I just forgot! always forget the knees!) I left mine on for 14 minutes total but If you are a newbie please don’t do it that long. I am a veteran peeler and my skin is adapted to 30% so 50% was just right. I am excited to see results. I have tried the TCA peels and they are disheartening and the peeling is unsightly. Rinse with cool water to neutralize the acid and put on squalane oil after, a gentle moisturizer or vaseline if your skin is tender. I like the smooth feel of my skin after. My skin is tender on my chin so I will only do a total of 8 minutes next time and three passes with a cotton swab. My skin was tingling on my arms and chest after 10 minutes. I also like to neutralize with baking soda and water mixed together on the stinging skin on my face and neck and then hop in the shower to neutralize legs and arms etc… Happy Peeling and this is an affordable way to lessen age spots and melasma.

If you have very sensitive skin, be careful with this! It will burn your face, like it did to mine! It’s a very strong product, do not live it long! Apply for few seconds, I must say then wash your face immediately because it burns very fast! I still use it but per caution and not very often. Overall, I like it but I use it only when I have a stubborn black patch on my face or a face rejuvenation.

This is powerful. If you have sensitive skin this could be to much for your skin
