Dermatologists now agree that Beta Hydroxy, Salicylic Acid is a superior exfoliant that improves the appearance of ageing, sun-damaged skin without all the irritations associated with the Alpha Hydroxy, Glycolic Acid. Salicylic Acid Peels are effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall facial texture because it exfoliates both the skin surface and within pores, without all the irritations commonly associated with the Alpha Hydroxy, Glycolic Acid." It has been found that Beta Hydroxy, Salicylic Acid is effective with as little as one-fifth the concentration typically found in products containing Glycolic Acid. In a single study comparing a 1.5 percent Salicylic Acid product and an 8+ percent glycolic acid product, the Salicylic Acid product was shown to be a more effective exfoliant. Great For Acne Salicylic acid is highly effective for acne and oily skins. It is oil-soluble and lipophilic so it penetrates sebum filled follicles and helps to unclog pores, loosen and lift out blackheads, even out skin tone, and prevent future outbreaks. Salicylic acid blends powerful skin exfoliation with skin soothing actions. It has ultraviolet absorbing properties that help to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. A series of salicylic acid skin peels can be utilized to: Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and improving skin density and firmness Visibly reduces pore size Evens skin tone, minimizing areas of discoloration Soothes, conditions and moisturizes Effectively treats stubborn skin conditions, such as acne and environmental/sun damage Delivers cumulative benefits and optimal results with weekly treatments For all Fitzpatrick skin types.

 It actually helps. Nov 03, 2008
I never had much acne growing up, but it would seem that each little pimple left a mark on my face. Most of the people I know kept telling me that the scars were "barely" noticeable. Still, noticeable enough for me. So I went through a laser treatment and I noticed an improvement of 30% to 50%. I wasn't impressed: scars were there still.
So I did a bit of research and bought this product. I was reluctant to use since my skin is very fair and sensitive. To my surprise, I was able to handle it very well: ten minutes, twice a day. After nearly a month of use, I can say that many small scars have disappeared and the big ones look flatter and softer. I will keep using this product for sure!
Note: Don't expect results overnight, you have to be very constant and wait at least 3 weeks or so to see how it works.

Perfect for controlling acne Nov 01, 2008
This peel is just perfect. It not only works on the scars but also helps control acne. I've used it for 4 weeks now (applying it once a week ), and haven't had a single new breakout. The peeling is subtle, but none of my blemishes are visible anymore.
Although the instructions say not to keep it on for more than 5-7 mins, I keep it on for 2 hours. I'm not saying everyone should do that. (I did try keeping it on for 10mins for the first time and nothing happened). Maybe it's because my skin is used to salicylic acid.
I have been using the Neutrogena 2% salicylic products for three years with no great results. And this peel worked wonders in a month. Needless to say, I've discontinued using them.
Also, the processing was pretty fast. Got it in four days flat.
All in all, a wonderful product.

Refreshed feeling Aug 04, 2008
and that's about it. Every source linked to Skin Laboratory gives a different time interval to use the product. On the instructions, once a week, on the site, every other week, on the forum, everyday for a week, then stop for a month. Very annoying.

VERY pleased Aug 02, 2008
I started having problems with adult onset acne at about age 25 - am now 40. Have tried everything - oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics, retin-a, etc. etc. Despite trying numerous dermatologists, I never got what I considered good results - just a three minute visit and a couple of scripts. Decided to try this - at the price, nothing to lose. Man am I pleased. For the first time, acne is resolved (I have used the peel once a week for about six weeks). My scarring is improved and my skin tone is becoming much more even. Even improving my melasma. I would highly recommend this product. Word of caution. Acne will worsen after the first treatment - wait it out - it will improve Dramatically.
Great product Jul 28, 2008
I used a wide-tip paint brush, poured a little of this acid in a glass container, and painted it on. The first time I left it for 15 minutes, the second and third times I left it on for about 30. I should have bought the 30% because it doesn't burn how other people have reported, but it does make my complexion clear for a while. Makes me look younger for sure.. I love this product and will continue the application, but with the stronger dose next time. But for people with delicate skin this is probably very good.
