Product reviews of Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
Review: Hooray!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I have been using this peel several times a week for 3 weeks. It has drastically improved my skin tone and texture. I was hoping to reduce some of my acne scarring, and this has definitely helped. I can't wait to see how my skin looks in another month! It does burn a bit, and it is imperative to moisturize after. I hope it helps your skin, too! :) Review: I don't know why I didn't try this before

Normally I don't write reviews, but this product is totally worth it, first the shipping was super fast, I ordered it on April 29th got it in the mail day before yesterday May 6th, really impressive because I'm in Toronto Canada.
I tried it last night in my face and my back, I have really bad acne scars , I have a hormonal problem and even thought my acne is gone the scars were really bad.
It was amazing, it's just the first time and my face looks way better, I can't notice any changes in my back so far, but I'm hopping for it to clear too.
Anyway don't think it twice, I don't know why I didn't try this before, I was contemplating getting laser done, but this seams to be an easy fast and inexpensive way to solve my problem.
Review: I got my nose back!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
Well, I suppose my title got your attention. What does that mean? Let me start at the beginning and walk you through this. I developed Rosacea as an adult, about 40 or so, I'm 58/male. At first it was just some redness that was no big deal. Well one of the side effects is that Rhinophyma can start to develop. That's what happened to me. It starts slowly, you don't even realize it is happening. If you have "normal" bathroom lighting it actually masks a lot of the first stages. I went to Vegas for a wedding and the bathroom at the hotel had fluorescent lighting. If you want to see something frighting, go look in a mirror and use fluorescent lights. Holy COW! The skin on my nose looked gray! I also had one place on my nose that was a stubborn pimple. It wasn't red though so I never paid it a lot of attention. I like to think that I'm not narcissistic, but my nose got to the point that it was starting to call attention to itself. There would be times that I got pimples also, make no mistake about that! I tried OTC acne products,not much difference, heck I tried so many things I can't list them all. Sure I'd get some peeling but nothing really changed. So, I ordered this and Glycolic Acid and got them the first of August. I wanted to use it for 2 months before I reported back. So here I am. I have not used the Glycolic Acid yet, I've used 1/2 bottle of the Salicylic.
O.k. here is what I did. I have used it almost exclusively on the nose, along with a couple other problem areas. First the results on the nose. Like the title says - I have my nose back! It is a normal looking nose as smooth as you would expect for someone my age if not smoother. The excess gray (dead) skin is 95-99% gone at this point. It is flesh-colored and has no bumps anymore. I figured the bump was a cyst of some time, deep in the nose. It took a lot of work to get it out, even with this product. When I had finally removed enough layers of dead skin then an amazing amount of fluid came out. I hope I haven't grossed you out too much but if there is anyone out there that has gone through this they understand the frustration. BTW I've been to dermatologists in the past, ALL of them told me that it would cost thousands of dollars to apparently do what I've done for under $20.
Here is exactly what I did. I used this product every day, sometimes twice a day for two months. Did it sting? No,not for a LONG time. There was so much dead skin that it didn't make a dent. Does it sting NOW? Yes, but nothing that I can't handle. Mild stinging. I used a cotton swab(Q-tip type) to apply it. I waited the ten minutes then used COLD water to remove it. Patted it dry with a towel and then used jojoba oil immediately after. I highly recommend the jojoba oil in conjunction with this. I produce a lot of Sebum btw (probably had a Sebum cyst.) You can get the jojoba oil right here on Amazon too. It seems to balance all kinds of skin types.
You will get some peeling but I saw a lot less peeling on areas of my face besides my nose. The other areas I mentioned are another problem area that also had an old acne scar that looked like a small punch hole. This area improved so much that one day I went to apply the Salicylic and I was unsure where the area was. THAT was very gratifying. You DO have to keep using it though. Based on my results you can't just stop using it. I have gotten to the point where I use it a couple times a week now. I think that I will switch to the Glycolic Acid next since it's a longer interval on that regime. The Salicylic instructions say that you can use it every day. I'm also going to use a bit over the rest of my face because it DOES smooth out the flesh very nicely.
At any rate, that's what I did and that's what I got. My nose back!
Review: I guess it's working
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I decided to try this product. I am starting to see the wrinkles and fine lines. I definitely felt the stinging/burning sensation the first time I tried it. I could only keep it on for 1 minute. I've been doing this treatment for a few weeks now, once a week. I'm not sure if I see the difference, but my co-worker said my face looked different. After using the product a few more times, I can tolerate the stinging for longer now, I'm up to 3-4 minutes now. I haven't had any recent acne break-outs so I am assuming this is a contributing factor. Review: I think it works

It works to shrink existing zits and I think it softens the scars as well. I haven't used it long enough to know for sure. But for the price, it's definitely worth the try. Go easy on the first few applications.
