 NOT FOR AMATEURS!!! Aug 27, 2010
By obsidian dusk
As a licensed esthetician, I am cringing reading the reviews of some of the users of this product.
"Applying and leaving on" "Applying 3 times a week" "Using as a daily exfoliator"
If your not going to seek the advice of your dermatologist or esthetician, please buy a book on Chemical Peels to understand how they work.
Applying more that once every 10 days will thin out your skin and will cause problems down the line. The whole point of "Peeling" is to clear away the old dead skin cells and allow new ones to surface. It takes your skin (depending on age) 20-42 days for brand-new skin cells to work their way up to the surface of the epidermis, if your constantly stripping your damaging your new skin cells. Patience is needed with peels and generally a series of 4-6 are needed depending on your expectations. Always apply spf of 30 or more afterward and before starting with this 50% lactic prime your skin a week before by using 2-5% glycolic wash. And PLEASE seek the advice of your friendly neighborhood dermatologist and/or esthetician before even attempting to peel.
Good luck to you all.
**Oh and regardless of what the manufacturer claims it does not change the "size" of your pores, they may appear smaller because the chemical de-congests the follicle but if you naturally have big pores; this will not shrink them.

Lactic Acid Peel Jun 27, 2009
By wwax
I was nervous about doing a chemical peel on my face without a specialist around so I bought one of the gentler formulas to use on my face. I was hoping just to exfoliate some of the dullness from my skin with this, but was surprised at just how much of a difference it made to my facial skin.
My boyfriend who never noticed when I had 6" of hair cut off and my hair dyed from dark brown to red noticed actually asked me what I was doing to my skin the day after I first used this. He said I looked less tired and happier. So I was more than happy with the results.
It not only made the skin look softer any other products I put on for a couple of days after using this seem to be absorbed better so it makes my moisturisers etc seem to work better too. My skin does go a little pink for a few hours after use so I would recommend it as best to use before bed time and to make sure you follow the directions carefully as I could see how it could burn your skin if left on too long. Also make sure you wear lots of sunscreen on your face for the weeks you are using this as I've heard horror stories of home peels sensitizing faces to sun damage and people ending up with brown blotchy faces. OK so you should wear sunscreen on your face all the time but be extra careful while using this.

great results Oct 22, 2009
By A. Wilson
i am an african american/native american woman with melasma and dark spots from different skin issues. i am a fair skinned woman so everything show on me. I tried the fade creams and finally coughed up money for tri-luma. on it's own, it's ok, but with this lactic acid peel it is FANTASTIC. i don't have sensitive skin, so i use my peel 3 times a week, followed by the tri luma cream. i moisturize and stay out of the sun as much as i can. i have been using it for 3 weeks and my results are great. i would recommend this for people looking for a solution to their hyperpigmentation issues. my skin is very soft now and every week i notice a difference. i will use it for another 3 weeks and take a break. the peel smells kinda funny (it is sour milk smelling) but it is less harsh than the glycolic which i have used as well. i recommend it. for the price, you can't beat it.

Best hand treatment ever! Jul 04, 2010
By Yvette D. Robinson
"ydrpmg"
Lactic Acid 50% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)I have spent a fortune on expensive hand creams that don't really smooth skin on my hands.... I got lactic acid for exfoliating skin on my face and decided to try it on my hands. I had read somewhere that milk maids of old had beautiful hands due to lactc acid and decided it couldn't hurt to try. WOW!!! My hands looked so much better after one treatment. The small bottle has enough for several treatments at half the price of expensive hand cream. It also fades age spots and freckles. The peeling action on hands reveals really smooth skin that is silky soft. I'll keep using this...no more expensive hand treatments for me!

getting compliments Nov 13, 2009
By D. Roosth
I'm 51 and have been using this product once a week for 4 weeks. I've really noticed a difference in my skin. It has softened the fines lines and lightened the sunspots on my face considerably and I'm sure with continued use it will only get better. I've gotten professional peels before and I think this peel is just as good,(although not as strong). It really improved the dull red appearance and my make-up goes on so much better.I'm getting compliments on my skin again! Oh one more thing,as someone pointed out,you HAVE to be really good about using sunscreen whenever you use a peel,otherwise you'll damage your new skin.
