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.

Chemical Burn
Give me a huge chemical burn and an allergic reaction on my face.
Great Starter Peel
Ive never done an acid peel before, but i was really trying to find a fresh dewy glow and minimize my pores. I washed and dried my face well, and then applied a very light coat of product. Since product is red its easy to see where it is on ur face! Then set my timer for 9 mins (bottle says do not go over 10 mins) since my skin is slightly sensative i errored on the side of caution. After my timer went off, I immediately rinsed the product off. I noticed the product did make my skin tingle in the folds of my nose where there was slightly more product. So, beware of applying evenly. Once the products was completely gone, i applied a toner and some moisturizer WITH SPF!!! (The SPF is important as the product does have AHA in it!!) i am SO happy with the results!!! I will continue to follow instructions to ONLY use once a week and will hopefully continue to minimize my pores and dewy fresh skin!!!
It stings a bit but it works
Do follow directions for real. Dont use more than twice a week. Don't exceed 10 mins of having this on your face. It does sting but nothing like a lip plumper sting though. But it does work it's literally a face peel. You will be smooth after i do follow up with a moisturizer afterwards but there is a noticeable difference i do recommend if your skin is not sensitive. And yes i bought this with my own money
GET THIS!
I never write reviews, but this stuff is actually my new holy grail. I bought it back in december and was hesitant to use it because of negative reviews, but this stuff is amazing! Ive only used it twice and each time have instantly seen results. My skin is brighter, smoother, and more even. It does have a bit of a mild tingling sensation but this is a very strong acid so it's expected and totally normal.
amazing!
cleared up redness so fast
