Product reviews of Glyco-Lac/60, Level 2 Gel Peel -30 ml/1 fl oz
Review: So far, so good!!
Beauty product: 4 Stars
This product arrived the next day , I was shocked how quick to came. I have mild sun damage, enlarged pores and have always had acne issues-blackheads on the nose, mild sebaceous cyst like, congested skin so my skin has mild scarring-texture and acne marks and oily skin, mostly t-zone area.
I have only used it twice, every 5 days, but have noticed an improvement in skin condition, texture is improving, my skin feels better, acne is alot better, minor wrinkles seem to be improving, acne scars look to be less, moisturizer seems to soak into my skin better not just "sit " on top anymore -skin seems more "plump", haven't noticed much with the age spots/sun damage yet, but will see after a few more applications. I feel comfortable now going out without having putting on alot of makeup to cover those issues, just a little concealer & power and I'm good, no more heavy makeup base.
I was able to leave this on my skin starting at 3 minutes I am now up to 5, it does have a mild sting to it, didn't have much redness and what was there was better by morning. I did used a mix of about a tablespoon of baking soda in a cup of water for a neutralizer which did help, I splashed it on my skin after rinsing product off, left it sit for a minute or two then rinsed that off. My skin is sensitive to alot of products, but wasn't overly irritated by this, what I would say would be acceptable. My skin didn't flake, appear overly dry or "peel" and I used the Dandelion moisturizer from Better Botanicals afterwards.
My skin is improving and hope the age spots start to fade a bit more. I would recommend this product, but everyone's skin is different, and do a test patch to figure out the tolerance for your skin.
Also I am a VERY picky on products I use for my skin, this so far is making a difference in the right direction and I will continue to use it!

I was really excited when i found a dermatologist strenght product for my skin. I have had acne for a long time and it hasn't been bad for a while, but recently i have had some breakouts and i wanted something that was going to control my acne. This product works very well. I am very reluctant to buy acne products because so many in that past have failed. I loved this product and would recomend it for anybody with skin problems. Review: Transformed my skin!!!!!

For years I have been battling a difficult complexion. It seemed as though every pore on my face was clogged. I had blackheads all over my chin, nose, and forehead but they were not easily seen on the surface; they were deep. I've tried creams, scrubs, masks and gizmos but nothing provided effective treatment. Per the recommendation of my best friend (who is an aesthetician but lives far away from me) I decided to give this a try. She mentioned that the combination of glycolic acid and lactic acid was particularly effective since the glycolic works on the surface and the lactic acid goes deeper. I did not see results right away, but the enclosed leaflet recommended weekly peels for 6 weeks, so that's what I did. Other reviewers noted that they did not experience peeling and neither did I; it was more of a flakiness after a day or two. Therefore, I used a gentle enzyme scrub (try MyChelle Fruit Enzyme Scrub, 2.3-Ounce Tube) about 3 days after the peel to help with the flakiness. It's been 6 weeks since my first peel and all I can say is WOW!!!! The first couple of weeks were a bit rough: my skin seemed to break out a bit but I believe it was just all of the gunk coming to the surface. About 3 to 4 weeks in my skin started really looking good!
NOTE: I also had some melasma on my upper lip and a few age/sun/melasma spots on my cheeks and I have seen a significant reduction (the melasma on my upper lip is gone!!! YAY!!!).
This is serious stuff! It is not comfortable for the few minutes you have it on, but you will get serious results if you stick with it and are diligent with your skin care regimen.
Review: Um....wow

Happy with this product. I just tried this for the first time last night so I can't speak to its long term efficacy. So far I'm impressed.
What I can say is that I sure am glad I tried it on a weekend and not a work day.
It did not really hurt while it was on. It stings a little. I left it on for 90 seconds. It washed off easily and did not leave my skin feeling sensitive. I'm a retin-a user and familiar with the sensitivity that comes with getting a bit too much of that and this was nothing like that.
And then I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror. Apparently I did not avoid my eyelids as well as I thought! While it doesn't hurt at all, my face is red high on my cheeks and on my upper eyelids just under my brow. (I'll be more careful there next time.) I could probably cover it with make-up if I needed to.
I'd say the way it felt is comparable to a mild spa peel, except that the spa did a better job of missing my eyelids.
I'm really glad I did not order the stronger version of the glycolic only peel. This stuff seems plenty strong.
I'm giving it only 4 stars because at this point I cannot accurately report on its effectiveness. This review will be updated after I've used it for a while.
