L'Oreal Dermo Expertise Acne Response Intensive Adult Acne Peel, 3-Step System

I also didnt see much improvement with this--until i bought Perfect Peels 20% Salicylic Acid and added about 7 drops (initially) to a full bottle, then added 4 more drops for a total of 11 drops. This seemed to work really good and was able to use it every other day. I also switched to Burts Bees willow bark cleanser, added 3 drops of tea tree oil and 14 drops of salicylic and together, my face is beautiful. Its important to really really moisturize with this. I use 1/2 sweet almond oil with 1/2 grapeseed oil right after the Loreal Peel and I dont use the neutralizer--salicylic self neutalizes within 6-10 min regardless and leaving it on a little longer seems to help clear out the pores. Then i put on the oil (sounds crazy, but its noncomedgenic and really moisturizes and soothes). And i've been using the 20% Perfect Peel TCA diluted with bottled water on a 50% to 70% dilution (7 to 7 drops water/tca or 9 water/7 drops tca) applied with a toothpick (VERY SMALL AMOUNT Gently applied, neutralized with baking soda after frosting) in the acne scars to help them no look so deep, It's been working, but when i initially did it, i did it on wed morning, went to work and took off thurs and friday. Didnt pick at the skin, used neosporin and walgreens Eucerin moisture cream in the tub, and followed w/ 3 tblspoons white vinegar to 1/2 gal cool water soaks to soothe and help removed the flaking skin. I really kinda looked like a zombie for 4 days, and i did not pick at all--and 3 times and my skin looks completely better. less wrinkles, fewer scars, smaller pores, clearer skin thats bright and pretty--better than all that money i spent at the drs and spas for medicine, treatments, antibiotics, and peels. If you're ethnic or have darker skin, do test patches where you can conceal if things get too light with the tca peel. Hope this information works. Too many of the salicylic acid stuff is just too weak for really bad acne (i had blackheads, whiteheads, cyctic, and all of it adult onset!). Work with the dilution of the s.a. using bottled water in a dropper to get the right combination for you. I've lived with it for 20 years and finally found the magic combo that is making me as pretty as i used to be. :-)

when i first got this it was AMAZING. it really did clear up my face well. after about 6 months of use, it has stopped working for me. I now only use it as a spot treatment to dry out big pimples, which takes days of application now.

I've been using this for about 2 weeks now. It says to use it 2-3 times a week and that's what I've done, probably used it 5 or 6 times now (every few days). I originally bought this in hopes of clearing up the scarring, discoloration and slight pitting that I have from having acne for over 10 years. I haven't really noticed a HUGE difference in the scars/pits but I have noticed my skin clearing up significantly! I haven't actually ever "peeled" even after leaving it on for 10 minutes (it says to leave it on for 5), I don't think its a strong enough concentration to really "peel" but I'm still giving it a chance to help me out.

This is the third different acne prevention system I've tried, the previous two being Klear Action Acne Treatment System and Proactiv, and after two weeks I am ready to say this one is the best and also the cheapest!I had a lot of bad acne in college along the sides of my face, which also left scarring. It wasn't until after my college years I discovered Klear Action and it did work in preventing the acne, however did nothing to repair the scarring. Ditto Proactiv, which cost twice as much as the Klear Action.So I came across the L'Oreal system last month and after reading the reviews decided to give it a try. Good call, folks!The L'Oreal system is an easy three-step process, just like the other aforementioned systems, but you only have to use it 2-3 times per week as opposed to every day with KA and Proactiv. The acne is going/staying away and I can already notice the scarring starting to fade a bit, which is something the other two products failed to do. And for only $10 (KA is $20 and Proactiv is $40), it's a steal! I will definitely remain a user of the L'Oreal system.

I just received my package with "L'Oreal Dermo Expertise Acne Response Intensive Adult Acne Peel, 3-Step System" today and I am very disappointed with this product. First of all, it came in yellow envelope, WITHOUT MANUFACTURED BOX! I am not sure if it was opened before, but it absolutely could be. The second problem is that you can't find the expiration date on any of those 3 product, which is why I assumed it came without a box. I send an e-mail to the seller with a questions about box and expiration date and they just respond me that I simply can return this item (which I will do). They said that there is no box because it could damage in transit (a lot of products can, but sellers usually send it in a box anyway). They said nothing about expiration date. I checked it in internet by the batch code and it showed that this products expired in October 2008. Anyway, I don't want to take any chances. Beauty products, if expired, can cause lots of allergic reactions. The price for this product it cheap, so you get what you are pay for.

This system did not do anything for me. After many weeks of having no success, I tried applying Benzoyl-Peroxide after the 3rd step. Aftwards, I noticed a big improvement in the effectiveness, but I don't know if it was the combination of these two or just the benzoyl acting alone. In any case, I'm sure any sacrylic acid and benzoyl mixture would work just as well. I don't like using benzoyl-peroxide, b/c it bleaches everything, but it looks like I may have to after using this product.
