Glitter. Why is there no disclosure of glitter? Why is there glitter in a peel to clear breakouts? Why is there a tiny unnecessary material in a product meant to remove debris and the top layer of the skin? To sell to teenagers is my only answer. Look I'm a grown ahh adult. I want a good deal and I want a product that works. If I wanted glitter I would go to the makeup section. THE PRODUCT ITSELF: This product is actually good, it's not a dud like the 1 star reviews who haven't figured out they have sensitive skin. It as a slight tingle (it's acid, that's the job) but it's not burning and goes away after a second. I bought it as an alternative to the Ordinary's 30%-2% red peel (it is too harsh and banned in other countries). I expect it to work well over the next few weeks. I will not buy it again because, as stated before, the glitter is counter productive to my goal of removing and preventing acne and ingrown hairs.
Cleared my skin🙌🏼
I could not get control of my hormonal acne and was having a bad series of breakouts. I paired this with the Murad Deep Relief Acne Treatment as well as Panoxyl 4% and my skin has cleared so much! I still have a couple stubborn spots but they are on the mend. I could not recommend this enough.
burned my skin and broke me out so bad!
I really thought that this product was going to be great, but it burned my skin, and after my skin was very irritated
Loved it
I used it when I was breaking out & it dried the acne out a lot! Make sure you use a lot of moisturizer after & if its your first time using it, use it once a week like the label says.

I suddenly developed a huge painful cyst (about the size of a pea), which wouldn't go away for two months. I almost started looking for a dermatologist when I did some research about how bacteria is trapped under the skin and needs oxygen to help get rid of it. Articles stated I could use a chemical peel to get rid of layers of dead skin, then kill the bacteria with benzoyl peroxide. The girls at my local Ulta store were of no help. They showed me scrubs (you don't scrub cysts), creams, cleansers, hydrocolloid patches, and expensive kits. I repeated multiple times "exfoliating peel" with the highest percentage of salicylic acid available, but they just walked away. I found the Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel a few aisles down on my own. I paired this with Up&Up 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel. Within two weeks, it was completely gone. The benzoyl peroxide gel would make my skin crinkle and peel off, but Clear Start would gently remove the peeling skin and smooth it out like it never dried out. I use Clear Start once a week now. I will buy it again in the future.
