Glycolic Acid 50% Gel Peel - Enhanced with Retinol & Green Tea Extract (Professional Skin Peel)1 ounce

This is amazing. I have dark brown skin, with years of neglected hyperpigmentation around my chin and cheeks, and in my large pores making them look deeper than they actually are. I used this and kept it on for two minutes, then rinsed it off with cold water, then let my skin breathe for about an hour with just spritzes of organic aloe vera juice, before gently massaging on vitamin e oil. Yes, it hurt omg this was making me tear up, but that's the price to get a layer of dead skin off. I read that after 30's it can take double the time (about 60 days) for face skin to fully renew itself, so I used this to help speed up that process, and give my other serums and moisturizers a chance to work faster. It took about two days for the redness to go down and I kept the vitamin e and aloe vera juice in a spritzer bottle handy and it worked well. Also use strong sunscreen, I love Black Girl Sunscreen for all types and shades of skin, because of the excellent ingredients and how it fades quickly. Everyone can use it. This product is excellent.

The Gel Peel 50% Glycolic Acid is an intense and professional gel peel that is meant for users who are serious about skin care. At first glance, it feels like a much medicated item based on the packaging. The box encloses some instructions, so application is uncomplicated for users, even those that are using chemical peels for the very first time. Two of the most outstanding features of the product include the transparent gel formulation where it comes blended with the other solutions and, its descendible features through the healthy dispenser. Retinol and green tea extracts also supplement the overall effectiveness by offering more nourishment to the skin during and after the peel, which is why combining them is more effective than using just one component. Application procedures are not that elaborate but some degree of carefulness is paramount; an appropriate amount of the gel should be placed on an area of cleaned, dried skin such that it is slightly even and left for an appropriate time, which should not go beyond 1 minute before cleansing, in this case with cold water. This time period is proportional to sudden changes in temperature, which helps in eliminating the pain which a larger skin patch is expected to withstand during the exposure. Post application, my skin is always smoother and more lovely. It’s a brilliant means of reviving my skin; however, it’s very important to do a skin prep before using the peel and finish up with a good moisturizer or some sunscreen afterwards. Chemical exfoliation should not be new to regular users of this product, it’s effective.

I started out using the 30% solution of this product and then upgraded to the 50%, once I finished. The sting was intense at first and I could only stand one minute, just barely. However, now I can keep it on the complete 2 minutes, with less intense sting. Be sure and follow directions and use a good moisturizer and your sunscreen. I have used it on my neck, but only once, as it caused a lot of itching for days afterwards (so I no longer use it on my neck) and I do not apply it above my upper lip or very close to my eyebrows, as that caused itching as well. I apply it once a week and my skin is radiant afterwards. My cheeks, especially look more youthful. I haven't seen any real reductions of wrinkles, although, I have seen some reduction in the fine lines around my eyes, so I am giving this product 4 stars, instead of 5! I think this is a great product and I do recommend it, but please follow the directions closely and use a very good moisturizer and apply it several times the day you use this product. And, sunscreen is a must.

I love it. On my second bottle.

Be careful and follow instructions. This is very strong if you are just starting get a lower percentage. It works!

I’m not sure if formula changed or my skin is different now . But this use to help my cystic acne and take the dead skin off . Now it just burns and no layer of skin comes off and even caused sores . I don’t do it everyday maybe twice a month . But the results have changed and I’m sad this way my holy grail . I was built up to 2 minutes tolerance now I can hardly stand a min .

I am 55 with melasma on my neck and sunspots. I have crows feet and my skin has changed since menopause. I have used 30% Glycolic Acid for over a decade and was ready for a stronger peel. I like that this peel has retinol and green tea extract. This peel is fantastic! The directions inside the box are complete and very informative. You can apply about 5 passes MAX with the cotton round. I only did two passes on my arms and legs. Gently in circular motion. If you are new to peeling, do less passes and when it starts to sting, rinse it off. You should be able to go longer each time you peel. Do not peel more than once a week! Maybe to the face every two weeks and the body every week. I applied to face, neck, chest and legs (not my knees but I just forgot! always forget the knees!) I left mine on for 14 minutes total but If you are a newbie please don't do it that long. I am a veteran peeler and my skin is adapted to 30% so 50% was just right. I am excited to see results. I have tried the TCA peels and they are disheartening and the peeling is unsightly. Rinse with cool water to neutralize the acid and put on squalane oil after, a gentle moisturizer or vaseline if your skin is tender. I like the smooth feel of my skin after. My skin is tender on my chin so I will only do a total of 8 minutes next time and three passes with a cotton swab. My skin was tingling on my arms and chest after 10 minutes. I also like to neutralize with baking soda and water mixed together on the stinging skin on my face and neck and then hop in the shower to neutralize legs and arms etc... Happy Peeling and this is an affordable way to lessen age spots and melasma.

If you’re new to chemical exfoliation, this is actually a good product and strength to start with. **However — do NOT leave it on longer than 45 seconds to 1 minute.** Seriously. Leaving it on too long is how people end up with burns and then blame the product instead of realizing they didn’t understand how chemical peels work. It’s really simple to use: 1. Wash your face and let it dry completely. 2. Apply a healing ointment to sensitive areas — around the eyes, corners of the nose, and around the mouth. 3. Have cool water ready with a little baking soda or vinegar mixed in, plus a soft towel nearby so you can neutralize it immediately if needed. As soon as you start to feel a strong burning sensation, gently wipe it off with the cool water and towel. If you’re a beginner, **don’t apply it to your whole face at once.** Start small. Use a brush and apply it to just your forehead first. When it starts to tingle/burn, wait about 30–35 seconds, then wipe it off. Work in small sections like that until your skin builds tolerance. After about 5–10 sessions, you can slowly increase the time — and I mean by **seconds, not minutes.** For example, go from 45 seconds to 55 seconds. Wait 2–3 weeks between sessions, and only increase by 5–10 seconds at a time. Do NOT leave it on for 3–5 minutes your first time unless you’re trying to seriously damage your skin. Chemical peels are effective, but they’re not something you rush.
