| 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 solution; length of time the solution is left in contact with the skin; occlusion or non occlusion.
You will find our Salicylic Acid peel to be extremely gentle on the skin, even more so than a 8% solution sold by other companies. Most sellers use an alcohol solvent to suspend the Salicylic acid in solution. This has the effect of stripping away the surface oils of the skin, and cause the peel to be much harsher.
Because salicylic acid is lipid-soluble, it is not necessary to strip away these surface oils with the alcohol solution, and in the process sensitize the skin and cause irritation. We use propylene glycol as a solvent which is very gentle on the skin, and allows us to provide a peel which is both gentler and with a higher concentration.
This allows our peels to be more effective than peels containing 8% or 10% Salicylic Acid. This means you will notice results faster, and require fewer peels to achieve the same results.
This does not mean "more" is always better... we do not recommend above use of a 30% solution outside of medical guidance.
Each skin is slightly different, and it is important to be aware of this. If you notice excessive redness or burning on the skin after applying a peel, you should rinse it off immediately.
