Skin Obsession 40% Glycolic Acid Peel For Acne, Scars, Age Spots & Lines

I am a 26 year, Indian girl who has suffered from acne/pimples since the age of 16.My acne was manageable and under control until I started working and due to lifestyle changes. I started breaking out over T zone and cheeks at the age of 22. I tried everything from antibiotics to OTC creams with very less positive effects. I then googled and found that salicyclic peels help zap out the acne. So I bought a 30% Salicyclic peel from ebay in 2015. At first I used it rigorously every 2/3 weeks. It helped with the acne control a lot. later on I started using it irregularly due to time constraints and all, The salicyclic peel helped to manage the acne however, I would still get occasional pimples which would leave red scars that did not go away for months.I bought this Glycolic 40% peel as I was running out of the salicyclic peel and I needed to try glycolic peel for the scars. At first peel, I washed my face with Cetaphil( I dont use any makeup removers as I dont apply any makeup/foundation/cream on my face) first and then let the skin dry naturally. Then I applied the peel and left it on face for 4.5 mins and then washed it with cool water. I didn't neutralize it with any baking soda water. Post cleaning, my face was very red and was tender to touch for a few hours. The next day, the face looked like a pizza with red dried skin all over. 24/36 hours after the peel, my face started peeling, and I could remove the dead skin flakes easily with hand and after wetting the face. Post peel the skin was new, a little red at first(due to new skin), however the redness faded after 2-3 days. I did have acne purging due to all that junk coming out of skin, and it was only for 4-5 days after the First peel.10 days after the first peel, My skin was lighter and brighter and all that acne marks were reduced a lot compared to results after a salicyclic peel. It also didn't give me any occasional breakouts.Since first peel, I have done 4 more peels,with neutralizing the acid each time with baking soda water, and each peel has given me better results on the skin.So far, I have done total 5 peels and i am honestly very satisfied with the results. My skin has neverlooked that healthy, old acne marks are barely noticeable and new acne breakout are very less/nil. I would gladly buy this skin obsession peel again and again .Please note that post peel regimen is very important to get best results out of the peel. A sunscreen with 30+ SPF or higher is very much needed. And also always neutralise the acid with a equal parts baking soda+water mixed. Else the acid will continue to work on skin and you may end up with burn marks.

I am new to chemical peels, and I first want to say that is product is great and certainly worth the price. If you know exactly what you are doing, you can benefit in several ways from this product. After my second peel with the product, I noticed my skin was firmer, smoother, more even colored, and it has **significantly reduced the acne on my face.**This product is very strong, so be careful. I wipe my skin with alcohol to srip away all oils, wait 2-3 minutes, and thinly apply the Glycolic acid to first face and whatever is left on the cotton pad to my neck. I started out at 3 minutes, and have increased the time 20 seconds with each consecutive peel. Be aware that the product will cause medium discomfort, but that only means it's working! I apply a solution of baking soda and water to my face once the time is up. This will cause increased discomfort for about another 30 seconds, but once the acid is neutralized with the base, all the pain from the peel stops.Once the acid is neutralized, I splash my face with cool water, PAT (don't rub) dry, and apply vitamin E oil to moisturize. That's all.You'll need to wear an SPF of 15 minimum on your face for a few days after the peel because it will be fresh, new exposed skin for the top layer.I will ordering this product again and again it make my skin free from from pimples and their marks.. And awesome results just follow all instructions before use.I want to give 5 stars but my product was not timely deliverd at took 1 month don't buy any product from cart2india they are having poor service.

I hv used the product for around a year and found it satisfactory.Starting from 5 minutes to 20 minutes now. Peels are very thin as if u remove dried fevicol from ur skin. I use it after 3 weeks followed by peel of mask on 4th or 5th day after it. Regular use produce good results.

I used to have lot of acne due to pcos hormonal issue. I changed my life style, followed alkaline rich, gluten free and sugar free diet. Along with regular workout i have reduced my weight from 62 kgs to 53 kgs.My periods are regular now and I’m acne free for the last 8 months.I still had acne scars even after life style changes. After using this peel twice, my acne scars almost disappeared.Hope this review helps people who are looking for a good home peel treatment.P.S: After first day of use, your skin will turn red and slightly tingly, it will take nearly 5 days to peel off your old skin. fyi: I have normal to dry skin.

Those people who said not a strong peel just look at my chin it burns my half chin and cheeks before doing this peel at home please consult your dermatologist I don't no this scar gone or not but I need a medical supervision.

Received the Product on time, they also have the instruction sheet along with the product which is very helpful for a home peel.3 star is because though the product shows 40% glycolic, but it’s not a strong peel, it’s effectiveness is that of 20% peel only.

Its works well for who wants to peel d skin at home.but its very strong peel tat could burn d skin.b careful.if u want u can go for lower concentration

Use this as per instuctions. I lyk the results.

Only use this if you follow the directions exactly! You will get a great result without a doctor.

After having spent $150 a pop for glycolic peels at a doctor's office, I decided to try this out at home. Two weeks prior to my office peels, the aesthetician instructed me to use a glycolic face wash and use glycolic cream (Jan Marini brand, the best!) for two weeks prior in order to get my skin prepped and used to the lower level of glycolic acid. I use Jan Marini products religiously (the face wash has 12% glycolic acid), so I felt I was good and ready to give this a whirl at home. I left it on for only 3 minutes, and when I splashed my face off with the sinkful of water & baking soda (FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!!), I could feel that this was a deeper peel than I had received at the doctors'. I put on some moisturizer and still felt a little 'sunburnt'. The next day, I could see that my skin looked better, but was tight and dry. More moisturizer and 30 SPF sunscreen (a MUST, especially right after a peel). Will do a series of peels once my face feels back to normal, and then get on a 'maintenance' schedule. Very happy with the results! Also, I barely put a dent in the bottle; for under $20, I will be saving well over $1,000 in doctor's office peels. Wouldn't recommend this strength for someone whose skin isn't already accustomed to glycolic acid use, though.

Love using this for great looking skin without having to use any wrinkle creams. Helps with wrinkles and sun damage and sunspots and it’s cheaper than buying expensive wrinkle creams with retinol that don’t work this up actually works with wrinkles and aging skin I would recommend for sure over any creams you buy at any store! Also get rid of any and all acne no matter what your age I would start at 10% though and work your way up and use once a week!

I used this twice no dramatic change or anything but i could def feel the smoother skin.WOULD buy again you cant beat the price.

It works okay. I still think the professional peels do a better job, but that is to be expected. For the price I think this does really good.
