    Great skin reset

    I love to use this product when my skin is looking dull or when I can tell it's in need of a reset. After my skin looks glowy and feels amazing! One of my holy grail products!

    I'm 71 and Love It!

    I'm 71 and have decent skin, which I think helps with looking good for my age. I've been doing various laser treatments for over 10 years and while it hasn't been miraculous for wrinkles it's kept my skin from having a rough texture or discolorations. This product is an amazing addition to my routine. I've only used it twice, but both times I've ended up with a glow, with light reflecting naturally due to how incredibly smooth my skin is. This will become a regular part of my routine - I love what it does. Plus, if you're someone who likes instant gratification, this will give you that boost because the results are immediately visible. I know a selfie would really make sense here, but I'm too camera shy to include one - sorry!

    Best at home peel out there

    This is comparable to the Obagi blue brilliance at home peel at a fraction of the cost. Did experience minor discomfort the first time I used it but it quickly subsided and have not experienced it since. I use it about once a week and am happy with the results.

    Works so well

    I personally like this. I will say yes there is a slight burning sensation when you apply this but it’s not painful or anything like that. It actually feels nice in my opinion. It’s a very liquidy texture and is easy to smooth/rub in all over face. This leaves my face feeling so fresh and nice. Gives my skin a nice look after use. I use 2 times a week and have found that is the best. I have used for about 3 weeks now. I will continue to use and I most definitely would recommend. It does not have a harsh scent. I adore the dropper style bottle. 10 out of 10.

    Dried my skin.

    I got this because I've been working on trying to have nicer skin. I patch tested on my hand it was fine. I put it on my face as directed washed it off and my face felt great... until the next day. I had a lite rash going from cheek to cheek. it was sensive to the touch but not painful, just uncomfortable. Day 2 the area became super dry. I moisturize twice a day and it isn't helping. I am on day 3 and the area is more dry and starting to flake. my face is way worse before I used the product. Really disappointed.

    My holy grail skin product

    I cant live without this product. I have chicken pox scars on my face and in just one use, this produce helped reduce their appearance. I've worked my way up to using it twice a week as part of my nighttime routine. My skin hasn't looked better in 20 years! If you have sensitive skin, you want to leave it on for just a few mins once a week and gradually work yourself up to 10 minutes. It burns/tingles a tiny bit, but nothing that isn't tolerable.

    Love this stuff

    I used this 2 times a week and my face was so clear. Not so much right now because i haven't been consistent with it. I use the ordinary niacinamide after and moisturize. I recommend to not use this if you have anything open on your skin unless you are ok with a burning/tingly feeling. For me it also itches the first few mins.

    100% Worth the buy-- complete texture overhaul

    I have been using this for about two months now, 2-3x per week and for about 7-10 minutes per use. Let me tell you… my skin has never been better. I started this mainly to treat my closed comedones, but it has done so much more. Not only are they gone, but my pores are clearer and smaller, my fine lines are disappearing, and my skin is SO glowy! I love this product, a little too much lol! I have way more confidence going without makeup now and when I do wear makeup, it sits much nicer on my skin. No more rough texture and visible pores. As you can see in my before photo, I had a lot of rough and bumpy texture and visible lines, in my after photos you can see my skin is smooth. The only warning i will give is if you have sensitive skin, maybe stick to 1-2 uses a week at about 5 mins per use. It will sting a bit at first because it’s an acid, but it goes away quickly and the results are worth it. Def planning on using this product for as long as they keep making it!

    Great product

    I used this product 4 days apart with The Ordinary Niacinamide serem and light weight moisturizer every morning and night. My face is so much better in just 4 days! I have oily skin with more acne than I would like in my 20s mostly due to stress, but I have tried everything and this really seems ro make a difference when used properly.

    Buy it!

    This will burn your face off! In a good and bad way. It burns within a minute of putting it on and will make your skin red and temder. But day 2…… is amazing! Smooth as silk! I did put a ton if barrier support oj aftwe because of the burning but I do that nightly and haven't experienced these results. Sensitive skin people should maybe only do once a week or twice a week for five minutes.

    I just use the product once. That was last night. I can honestly say that I seen a change in my skin after I washed it off. My nose is so ughhhh clogged pores, dry, black head just nasty looking. When I use this product omg my nose doesn’t look so dirty anymore. I bought the face cleanser and the moisturizer as well. I washed my face first and pat dried it and let it dry all the way. After I put the product on I let it sit for five minutes because it was my first time using it. It sting a tiny bit and it itched a tiny bit too. I think the key is to wash your face completely first and then let it dry completely before you put the product on your face. Like I said I used it last night and when I went to the gym this morning so many people were saying you’re glowing and your face look so smooth. I really like it so far I’m going to buy another one. My face is so smooth and look so fresh from one use.

    Holy grail for textured skin and hyperpigmentation

    I bought this for hyperpigmentation on my body from insect bites. This product helped fade the marks quickly. It is also great for clearing hyperpigmentation from body acne scars. On the face, I notice an immediate glow and smoothness. I have lots of sebaceous filaments on my nose, causing it to feel bumpy but this peel made my nose baby smooth. However, if you use too much product or let it sit for too long, there will be redness on your face so be careful.
