 Can I wash my face with cold water following your treatment?
Yes, cold water is perfect. Also when you wash, make sure to rinse thoroughly in order to remove all traces of the product. Many companies sell neutralizers with their peels. These are not necessary, and often are somewhat irritating to the skin. Washing the face completely with water is suffic ...
- Do I need to moisturize or apply a lotion after using your products?
Because of the Kerolytic activity of a chemical peel you will notice some tightness and skin dryness after use. This is why it is recommended that you apply a non-comedonic moisturizer to the treated area, but it really just depends on your personal skin type. Because the surface skin is being ...
- Do your products have a "shelf life" or expiration date?
The product does not expire because of the low risk of bacterial contamination due to the high acid content, but as is good practice with all cosmetic products, it is best to use them within a year..
- How many treatments are provided per bottle of your product?
Great question. The exact number of peels varies depending on the area and application of the peel, but we recommend around 2 ml per facial peel. This means that you get: 15 - 20 peels from the 30ml bottle 25 - 35 peels from the 50ml bottle 50 - 65 peels from the 100ml bottle
- What application method is best for your products?
For applying the product to the skin, a brush, cotton ball, or gauze pad can all be used. Some people use q-tips, but it can be difficult to achieve good coverage with small q-tips. I've found that fan brushes are good for applying peels on others, but for applying to your own face, it can be tr ...
- After applying the product as directed I have yet to see results.
Some people are initially concerned after using our products because our peels are much less irritating than other acids at a comparable pH level. This is because we don't use alcohol in our treatments, which can be irritating and harmful to the skin. As the salicylic acid clears and cleanses p ...
- As a first time user do you have any recommendations when applying the Glycolac/60 Gel Peel?
The Glycolac/60 peel is safe, but start out with a 1 min application time. Then adjust as you feel comfortable. Please let us know if we can be of any additional assistance.
- Can I use and exfoliator such as Apple Cider Vinegar in conjunction with your peels?
Apple Cider Vinegar is a mildly acid, and as such could cause some exfoliating properties. You should avoid overly exfoliating your face, so at first it would be best to not use the ACV for 1-2 days after your facial peel. As a precaution you should be especially careful with the area under the ...
- Can i use this peel with a brush?
This peel can be used with a brush, although many people find it is often easier to apply with a cotton or gauze pad. If you are familiar with AHA peels, you will find the salicylic acid is great for acne and skin rejuvenation. Because of the oil soluble molecule, it is different than AHA peels, ...
- Can you break down the ingredients contained in your Salicylic/20 Gel Peels?
Certainly, the Salicylic/20 contains: Salicylic Acid, propylene glycol, menthol, propyl and methyl parahydroxybenzoate. Please contact us if we can answer any additional questions.
- Can you explain why your Salicylic product is safe to use on the face, while others that are less concentrated claim to be unsafe for the face?
That is a great question! The depth of a Chemical Peel is affected by several factors. In addition to the strength of the peeling agent (Salicylic acid 20%, 8%, etc.), there are many other factors that affect the depth of peel include the presence of skin surface oils and dirt; chemical peel sol ...
- Can your peels be used all over the body at once without adverse effects?
Our Salicylic acid product does contain a similar active ingredient as that found in aspirin. Although very little is absorbed through the skin, you should not apply to more than 18 square inches of the body a day. If you would like to cover large areas, treat different areas on successive days, ...

- Do I need a neutralizer for this product?
Many companies sell neutralizers with their peels. These are not necessary, and often are somewhat irritating to the skin. Washing the face completely with water is sufficient to neutralize the peel. If you would like a little extra reassurance, that the peel is removed, use a soap-less cleanser ...
- Do you have any products which do not contain benzoates?
The Glycolic and Lactic acid contain very small trace amounts of Parahydroxybenzoate (
- Do your peels cause hair removal/damage?
They should not cause hair to come off, but you should be very careful around the eyes. Acid which gets into the eyebrows can find its way into the eyes, which will cause irritation.
- How are your Salicylic peels different from other Salicylic products on the market?
This is an excellent question. We will attempt to clarify the difference between our peels and traditional peels. Although our Glycolic peels are buffered, this is not necessary with the Salicylic Peel, as the pH is very good (around 2.4), and buffering would greatly reduce the effectiveness of ...
- How deep are your peels able to penetrate?
The depth of the peel is controlled by contact time, frequency of application, and thickness of application.. If you feel that the peel penetrated too deeply for your liking or experience discomfort in the days following an application, you should wait at least 10 days before appling peel again. ...
- How do your products compare to similar "buffered" products?
Buffering is the process by which the acid is partially neutralized. When a solution is buffered, less of the acid is available to do work, so the pH of the solution is increased. If you have never used any chemical peeling products before it is important to start slow, and test a small area fo ...
- How does the Glycolic/50 Gel Peel work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles?
Glycolic acid works in two ways to help wrinkles. The first way is by removing the thickened outer layers of dead skin cells to reveal newer skin underneath. This process occurs very fast and you should start to notice the results within a couple days. This new skin underneath has improved tone ...
