 AHA 30% + BHA 2% High-Strength Peeling Solution for Brightening

I use this once a week instead of the recommend two because it's super strong. It stings a tiny bit when you first apply it but after waiting ten minutes you rinse your face thoroughly and apply your other lotions and creams. It can dry your face out if you don't tend to it right away with something to rehydrate and you'll peel a little bit in the coming days after use but it works! Maybe too well, but still works!

First off, be careful the state of your skin when you use this. If you have a compromised skin barrier, use something gentler until you get your skin calmed down. This really works. It WILL tingle and I am a seasoned user of peels. Do not leave on for longer than the 10 min. After use, please use a real rich serum and cream that has skin loving ingredients. It is important to not overuse this as well. Start off a couple times a week if not just once. As your skin builds tolerance, you can build use. just remember to moisturize, moisturize if you tend to be dry. Even oily, be sure to use a good cream bc your skin makes more oil when you "strip" it. It sounds kind of backwards but, true. I love this peel for it's economical, effectiveness! I am 55 and I try to keep my face looking young with lots of different products. I hope it works for you too! :)

I absolutely love this peeling solution. It's inexpensive compared to other peels and gets the job done! I've been using it for a few years, it got rid of dark spots and I never had new ones appear. About 6 months ago I ran out and my local target seemed to be sold out every time I went - a few weeks ago I started noticing two dark spots appearing on my skin after years of not having any appear. The only change in my routine was running out of this. Quickly re purchased and already notice them fading. I use 1-2x a week (sometimes more, sometimes less) but always for the 10 minutes.

This is the only product that helps clear up my skin's congestion and gives me a smooth texture. The purging period is terrible but so worth it. Excellent for PCOS/hormonal acne. Great for mature skin. Make sure to start slow and work your way up to more frequent use as well.

The first couple of times I used it, my face burned. But I realized I hadnt been using anything on my face and this is want it needed to ger rid of the bad skin. Do not leave on more than 10 mins and only use twice a week. Ive been using several months now and I love it. Ive noticed a difference in my skin. My face even feels tighter. Use a moisturizer afterwards.
