Immediate results!
Over the past few years, I've been trying to get rid of the little "blackheads" on my nose. I've tried everything from cleansers, scrub masks, peel masks, blackhead strips, etc. Then I learned they weren't even blackheads, but sebaceous filaments! I found this brand on tiktok (go figure), and I was ...

Great for sensitive-combination skin
Hey thanks to everyone for their reviews, I just used my peeling solution for the first time also. Right after washing off the peel my face felt so soft and smooth I applied the hyaluronic acid to add hydration back to my skin follow up with NMF. My face literally feels like a baby I'm thankful to D...

Pain is Beauty, and she is definitely a Beauty
Let me preface this by saying my skin is NOT sensitive. I can brush my cheek with rubbing alcohol and not even flinch, but this stuff stings even my tough skin. So those with sensitive skin may want to pass. I also worked my way up to using this by starting with the 5% lactic acid for a month (which felt like water), then the 10% lactic acid (which I use two or three times a week). This is for a DEEP cleanse. I use it around once a month, or if my skin is looking especially rough. I follow the instructions for the maximum time of 10 minutes before rinsing it off and I always walk away with baby smooth skin. I follow it up with CosRX snail mucin, a nice gentle essence, and a lightweight moisturizer to help soothe the skin and prevent any redness. I've never gotten a chemical burn like others report, but I'm also careful not to overdo it or use physical exfoliation with it. And I make sure to avoid any other actives like retinol, retinoids, or Vitamin C after. This is POWERFUL stuff, so be careful, follow the instructions, and you will be rewarded with noticeably softer skin.
Automatic repair
I've used this for a year, mainly when I'm breaking out but the next day after usage kid you not my redness, and acne is almost gone, healing and if I use it again the following day with some ice cubes after usage acne is gone!
Best peel out there!
This is amazing! I love it, have been using it for years!
Ooooooooo I LIKE her
For less than $10 I can give myself a quick 10 minute peel at home and it WORKS. I personally love the tingle and my skin is BABY SOFT after. A winner!
If your face is in great condition
I imagine this is a great way to keep your face nice, AFTER, you've had a professional peel. In other words good for maintenance, not good to improve too much.
