Product Review (submitted on August 7, 2011):

If you've had chemical peels before and know how your skin reacts, this is a lot more convenient and inexpensive.

My skin is not particularly sensitive and I have experienced no after-effects of peeling, sores, etc. No burning at all either.

I cleanse my face, use rubbing alcohol to take off any oils and then apply the liquid. I find the area around my nose is most sensitive, so I will apply last/lighter if at all. I also apply to neck, decolletage & tops of hands (all cleansed & alcohol'd). Keep on approx 10mins (that's ME). Wash off thoroughly. I apply moisturizer for sensitive skin afterwards and deliberately do on a ""no makeup day"". I am religious about sunscreen - you will feel some sensitivity from sun for a few days. After 3-4 days, I will swtch from gentle cleanser back to stronger glycolic cleanser & moisturizers

I've graduated to stronger pure glycolic peel now - but I have noticed definite evening of skin tone, improvement of fine lines & pores seem tighter. I was doing peels every 2-3 weeks.

One thing to keep in mind. I am not one who gets pimples often, however EVERY time I do a peel, I will get a few on my chin & around my nose. Otherwise, my face is super-smooth and glowy.

I turn 40 later this month. Most people think I'm 33-35. (I had to decline being nominated for ""35 Professionals to Watch Under 35"".) My dermatologist - who I don't see for ""face stuff"" says he wouldn't rec'd a single product or procedure in his arsenal.

I don't attribute it all to this, but it's definitely one of my "secrets".
