The "Callus Away" likely uses an acetone base which is much more aggressive. The acetone cuts through the surface oils of the skin, and pushes the Salicylic acid deeper. This has the effect of making the peel much stronger, but it is not very precise.
With facial treatments you have to be careful. If you applied a product like "Callus Away" to the face it would cause severe burning or even scarring. Because our Salicylic product does NOT use acetone it does not cause a tingling or burning sensation. This is normal with our Salicylic acid peel, and many people initially think it is not working, but after a few applications they start to see a difference
If you have very thick skin, or many years of sun damage accumulated on the skin, the progress will start off slow. Something that might help to speed this up is to apply the peel after bathing. This will allow the peel product to penetrate the rough outer layers of skin much more easily as the protective oils which are normally on the skin will have been washed away... but be careful when doing this, as you run more potential for causing irritation when applying.
The goal with a safe peeling regimen is to cause the skin to come off in a controlled way, with each peel taking off a few more layers of accumulated skin. With each application of the peel, the results are incremental. You should notice results within the first couple of applications, and the tone and texture of your skin will continue to improve as the layers of old skin are slowly removed to reveal new skin beneath.
