Refreshed feeling
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
and that’s about it. Every source linked to Skin Laboratory gives a different time interval to use the product. On the instructions, once a week, on the site, every other week, on the forum, everyday for a week, then stop for a month. Very annoying.

Works for me !
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this product about 2 weeks to ago and already I see and difference in my over skin appearance. I have suffered from acne since the age of 11 and have done all the usual to help clear up my skin condition with little result. However, after two or three peels using this product I see a difference. My skin is smoother. I have minimal underthe surface pimples. Unfortnately, I am a squeezer so i do have some acne scars especiall around my jaw line. However, I see these are lighter. I am so pleased. I also use the lactic peel.

VERY pleased
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I started having problems with adult onset acne at about age 25 – am now 40. Have tried everything – oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics, retin-a, etc. etc. Despite trying numerous dermatologists, I never got what I considered good results – just a three minute visit and a couple of scripts. Decided to try this – at the price, nothing to lose. Man am I pleased. For the first time, acne is resolved (I have used the peel once a week for about six weeks). My scarring is improved and my skin tone is becoming much more even. Even improving my melasma. I would highly recommend this product. Word of caution. Acne will worsen after the first treatment – wait it out – it will improve Dramatically.

Perfect for controlling acne
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This peel is just perfect. It not only works on the scars but also helps control acne. I’ve used it for 4 weeks now (applying it once a week ), and haven’t had a single new breakout. The peeling is subtle, but none of my blemishes are visible anymore.

Although the instructions say not to keep it on for more than 5-7 mins, I keep it on for 2 hours. I’m not saying everyone should do that. (I did try keeping it on for 10mins for the first time and nothing happened). Maybe it’s because my skin is used to salicylic acid.

I have been using the Neutrogena 2% salicylic products for three years with no great results. And this peel worked wonders in a month. Needless to say, I’ve discontinued using them.

Also, the processing was pretty fast. Got it in four days flat.

All in all, a wonderful product.

Not impressed with acne claims
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I don’t have sensitive skin and had no problem tolerating the product, but I didn’t see any difference with my acne. My pores may be smaller now, but it’s hard to tell. I wouldn’t purchase it again.

I think it works
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
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.

best thing I’ve done for my skin!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’m very happy about this product and pleased with the company as well. I’ve now ordered twice from them, and both times my order came within two days! I wanna add, I also like that they are not wasteful with the packaging. I’ve been upset about that with some other cosmetic companies (cough… Sephora… cough). So they would definitely be my first choice when I decide to order another peel. The card they included had clear instructions, which was nice too.

Now for the peel… I’ve only been using for two weeks, but my skin is really looking nice already. I do find that it stings a little, usually while I’m washing it off. Do be careful and only leave on for a minute the first time! It’s better to be safe with your skin. Still, this is not a really harsh peel that will burn your face off if you leave it too long. I’ve tried some spot treatments that I left on overnight, and this didn’t seem to be a problem.

I’ve now ordered another peel from them that I’m going to rotate with, since my reading on the internet seems to indicate that different peels will address different problems. But for clearing up acne, this is great! I’m really happy with my skin, and I will definitely order again… probably the bigger bottle next time!

No significant sign of improvment
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
So, i just purchased this product and arrived yesterday. I NEVER had a chemical peel in my life, so i was really careful with the product. I didn’t put the peel on my cheek, i wanted to try the acne prone area: Forehead & Chin first before i proceed. Well, i put it on for 1 min and washed it off with cold water. it feels really cool and refreshing when the product is on my face. No pain or sting at all. After that I rinse it out really well with cold water. Amazingly, the product doesn’t try up your skin right away. It just creates like a real thin layer, then i applied moisturizer and went to bed! This morning i woke up, no peel… feels the same. thats why i don’t know if this product is really working yet. I need more time to tell. But it does feel really good when its placed on your skin. Think about it! Most acne clearing gels have 2 % salicylic acid ingredients, this has 20% … so, it has to work in the long run. i’m really optimistic! Will update soon!

After 5 uses, no significant sign of improvment. I love the refreshing feeling of the peel after its washed off. Should i be using this product every 2-3 days ? I’m also using the Glycolic Acid Peel 35% which i feel does create an overnight smoother skin texture.

Amazing Results
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This product is absolutely amazing! I have mild-moderate acne. I always tend to break out in phases. And I hate those dark spots/scars that appear after my acne has disappeared! Usually it takes many weeks/months for those marks to fade!! I have tried numerous products that are supposed to fade those marks (such as Acne Free fade gel, Neutrogena, even prescription cream), but none have worked as well as this Salicylic acid gel peel!!! I received this item about a week ago, and my marks are almost completely gone. Some of the reviews state it takes a while, and I think it totally depends on the severity of acne and scars. I do not think this will get rid of major scars that cause indentations on the skin, but it definitely works to fade those dark marks. I leave it one for about 5-10 minutes morning and night, and follow up with a thick moisturizer/night cream–since it makes me dry out a bit. I am almost at the point where I don’t need concealer anymore! Definitely worth the buy!
