Derived from sugar cane, this alpha hydroxy acid peel dissolves dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates collagen production to smooth fine lines, reduce acne scars, and even skin tone.

Ideal for millennials seeking a radiant, youthful complexion with a safe, dermatologist-trusted formula.

## Description

Glycolic acid has long been a first line product of the finest spas and dermatology offices for improving the skin. For those of you who have heard the term "lunch time peel", this is the chemical used for it. Now you can do these peels at home safely and with fantastic results after peeling your skin will be feel softer, look smoother, with improved texture and tone and reduced hyperpigmentation (sun damage). With a peel of this strength, a full course of peels (8-10 peels) are needed to see optimal results. This is a 1 fl oz (30 ml) of peel solution. Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring chemical belonging to the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) family. Derived from sugar cane, this important aha is the smallest of the fruit acids and is able to penetrate the skin, allowing it to effectively dissolve the "glue" that holds dead cells on the surface of the skin. The dead skin cells are what cause a dull, uneven skin tone, and the blocking of pores leading to blackheads and acne. This dissolving action of the glycolic acid allows the dead cells to slough off, leaving behind a smoother skin surface with clear pores. This also helps stimulate collagen formation under the skins surface which helps plump up the skin from beneath, smoothing out fine surface wrinkles and superficial scars. Our 40% glycolic peel is a mild glycolic acid peel and is suitable for all skin types and both beginning and experienced peelers. There may be some redness right after the peel, but generally there is not much if any actual peeling unless your skin is sensitive to the peeling agent. The 40% glycolic peel is very safe when used as directed, but is a strong, professional strength peel (pH 1.5) and should be used only as directed. As with all products, a patch test is recommended t0 see how your skin reacts to the peel. By purchasing this product, you assume all risk associated with its use and are responsible for all results either intended or unintended from using this product.

Review: Review of this product from my personal experience - 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.
Review: Works well for Indian/Combination skin too! - 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.
