Skin Obsession 40% Glycolic Acid Peel For Acne, Scars, Age Spots & Lines

I used to have lot of acne due to pcos hormonal issue. I changed my life style, followed alkaline rich, gluten free and sugar free diet. Along with regular workout i have reduced my weight from 62 kgs to 53 kgs. My periods are regular now and I’m acne free for the last 8 months. I still had acne scars even after life style changes. After using this peel twice, my acne scars almost disappeared. Hope this review helps people who are looking for a good home peel treatment. P.S: After first day of use, your skin will turn red and slightly tingly, it will take nearly 5 days to peel off your old skin. fyi: I have normal to dry skin.

I am a 26 year, Indian girl who has suffered from acne/pimples since the age of 16. My acne was manageable and under control until I started working and due to lifestyle changes. I started breaking out over T zone and cheeks at the age of 22. I tried everything from antibiotics to OTC creams with very less positive effects. I then googled and found that salicyclic peels help zap out the acne. So I bought a 30% Salicyclic peel from ebay in 2015. At first I used it rigorously every 2/3 weeks. It helped with the acne control a lot. later on I started using it irregularly due to time constraints and all, The salicyclic peel helped to manage the acne however, I would still get occasional pimples which would leave red scars that did not go away for months. I bought this Glycolic 40% peel as I was running out of the salicyclic peel and I needed to try glycolic peel for the scars. At first peel, I washed my face with Cetaphil( I dont use any makeup removers as I dont apply any makeup/foundation/cream on my face) first and then let the skin dry naturally. Then I applied the peel and left it on face for 4.5 mins and then washed it with cool water. I didn't neutralize it with any baking soda water. Post cleaning, my face was very red and was tender to touch for a few hours. The next day, the face looked like a pizza with red dried skin all over. 24/36 hours after the peel, my face started peeling, and I could remove the dead skin flakes easily with hand and after wetting the face. Post peel the skin was new, a little red at first(due to new skin), however the redness faded after 2-3 days. I did have acne purging due to all that junk coming out of skin, and it was only for 4-5 days after the First peel. 10 days after the first peel, My skin was lighter and brighter and all that acne marks were reduced a lot compared to results after a salicyclic peel. It also didn't give me any occasional breakouts. Since first peel, I have done 4 more peels,with neutralizing the acid each time with baking soda water, and each peel has given me better results on the skin. So far, I have done total 5 peels and i am honestly very satisfied with the results. My skin has neverlooked that healthy, old acne marks are barely noticeable and new acne breakout are very less/nil. I would gladly buy this skin obsession peel again and again . Please note that post peel regimen is very important to get best results out of the peel. A sunscreen with 30+ SPF or higher is very much needed. And also always neutralise the acid with a equal parts baking soda+water mixed. Else the acid will continue to work on skin and you may end up with burn marks.

Its a safe peel for home use. Brightens the face after use. Slight help in reducing pigmentation

Received the Product on time, they also have the instruction sheet along with the product which is very helpful for a home peel. 3 star is because though the product shows 40% glycolic, but it’s not a strong peel, it’s effectiveness is that of 20% peel only.

it's good but some part of my skin is very sensitive.. it causes black scars.. & it took 40-45 days to get invisible..if you are very new to this product buy 20% or dont put on sensitive part of your skin.. wash it as soon possible..

It does nothing like standard chemical peel. I just darkened my skin and no peeling happened. I wasted my 4000 rupees.

Those people who said not a strong peel just look at my chin it burns my half chin and cheeks before doing this peel at home please consult your dermatologist I don't no this scar gone or not but I need a medical supervision.

use it only if u know how to use it...otherwise u ll look like roasted rooster
