Product Description
Level 1) Glycolic/35, Lactic/35, Salicylic/20
Level 2) Glycolac/60, Lactic/50 - Twice as strong as L1
Level 3) Glycolic/50, Lactic/70, BHA+, HQ+ - Twice as strong as L2
Choosing a Peel:
Glycolic: stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. It's small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25% thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid generally causes little or no visible peeling.
Lactic: works on the surface of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate surface cells which helps to perfect the skin's surface and restore the skin's natural glow.
Glycolac: With a combination of Glycolic (25%) with Lactic (35%), it provides hydration and tone improvements of the Lactic, with the increased collagen stimulation of the glycolic. It is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels or the skin.
Salicylic: a great kertolytic which means it helps loosen the bonds between skin cells to promote exfoliating. It is the only hydroxy acid which is oil soluble which allows it to penetrate into clogged pores. It can be used more frequently than the other peels without must risk for irritation.
BHA+: Hands down the best peel for acne and oily skin. You should expect some visible flaking of the skin 2 days after using the peel. This will help with active acne blemishes as well as old acne marks, and a variety of other skin problems.
HQ+: This peel is best for pigmentation and acne scarring. Similar to our BHA+ peel, with added ingredients which to help to fade pigmentation differences and even skin tone. If you suffer from old acne marks, age spots, or melasma, this peel will be the most effective in helping you.

 Nice Product and waaay cheaper than the professionals September 2, 2010
S.K. (Bethesda, MD)
I decided to order this product after spending way too much money on professional chemical peels. The product is exactly what I wanted. I have had some very light peeling and i feel like my skin has improved after a couple weeks of use. Hopefully, it will continue to as time goes on. my only issue with this product is the unclear directions. There are multiple places where the information on application frequency varies.
 Unsure August 26, 2010

Firstly, I'd like to make it clear that while I have a few small zits consistently, my acne is not that bad compared to some of the other reviews. This may be why the acid hasn't worked well on my skin yet. I want to use it because i have random blotchy darker spots all over my face and a lot of acne scarring and blackheads and whiteheads galore. I've used this peel four times over the course of a month. All that's happened is that my nose has gotten flaky and i got two random dry patches on my cheeks. My blackheads seem to be more pronounced but i think it's because they're closer to the surface due to the peeling of my nose. Hopefully with continued use, I will see better results. I shall update when i do!
 Acne since Highschool, Significantly improved skin August 24, 2010
Chia-chun Hsu (Georgia USA)
I had very oily skin, especially my nose. Before using Salicylic Acid (SA), I was using Neutrogena's acne gel to reduce acne and make my skin dryer. I've also tried other brands of acne gel with benzoyl peroxide, but they didn't really work. In addition to acne gel, I've tried facial cleaning product from Clean and Clear and the Walmart brand benzoyl peroxide cleaning pads.
I've gone to a dermatologist and she told me to clean my face daily and just use the general acne treatment products and I would be fine. Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at keeping up with these routines and I even thought about getting an operation to reduce the size of my pores. That didn't happen due to the expanse.
Finally, I came across Amazon and found this product and read the reviews. At first I tried to follow the instruction to apply the acid on cosmetic pad and then my skin, wait for a few minutes and wash it off. However, it worked better for me when I just applied it directly on my skin.
For the first minute or 2, after direct application on my nose, I felt a slightly burning sensation and my skin turned a little red. However, after 5 minutes or more the acid is neutralized and I could see immediate improvement on my skin, smoother and the redness was gone. I didn't even have to wash it off.
In addition to this product, I washed my face with warm water to open up my pores and then I used Neutrogena's pore refining toner to reduce the size of my pores and to clear old skin. I applied the gel peel on top of the dried skin toner.
Instead of using acne gel, I used Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Oil-Eliminating Foaming Cleanser to keep my skin dryer. Depending on the condition of my skin, sometimes I would only use the skin toner and not the peeling gel. However, when I saw mild inflammation from acne, I would use both. The oil cleanser should not be used twice, it would really dry up my skin and irritated it.
In conclusion, I've listened to many stories and tried many different products to make my nose not look like Rudolf the Reindeer. For my skin, the key was to reduce the oily condition and the size of my pores. It was the combination of skin oil and dust that clogged up my pores and caused acne. With the help from Neutrogena's pore refining skin toner, oil-eliminating cleanser, and Skin Laboratory's gel peel, my skin looked a lot smoother and had a healthy glowing feel.
 NOTHING... August 18, 2010

I bought this product to help even out some redness and solve mild acne. NOTHING...it burned a little after being on for 15 minutes, but once I rinsed I couldn't tell any difference in my skin, nor could I after 2 weeks of using this product every other day! What a scam!
This stuff works! August 6, 2010

If there was such a thing as a "magic" acne solution, this would be it. I'm a 26 y/o male and I've been having these outbreaks for awhile now. I've tried Proactive, Natures Cure, everything in the face washing section and nothing has worked until this peel. This product has dramatically decreased breakouts, cleaned and shrunk my pores, and helped my overall skin tone.
If you are a beginner, start off with the 20% solution and buy a skin Neutralized/pH balance. I use cotton balls to apply both the Peel and the Neutralizer.
First week: I applied twice that week giving a few days in between applications. Because I didn't know how my skin would react, I left the Peel on for only 2 minutes (this is plenty for the first few times).
Second week and On: I began increasing the time by 2 minutes every so often. Now I'm at 8 minutes per peel and still only using it twice per week.
This chemical peel is a remarkable product that is worth the time, money and a little pain.
