Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sour milk. Lactic acid helps to eliminate germs, toxins and dead cells from the skins surface, and also helps to maintain the skin's pH level. Lactic acid occurs naturally in the skin and is a primary component of the skin's natural moisturizing mechanism, making it ideal for individuals wishing to avoid over-drying and skin dehydration. The use of Lactic acid will help to increase skin cell turnover on the surface of the skin, producing smoother-looking and more vibrant skin. In the deeper layers, beneath the skin's surface, new collagen and elastin will be stimulated and the skin will actually become thicker, tighter and more firm. Lactic acid's unique ability to draw moisture toward the surface of the skin makes it ideal for individuals whose skin dries out easily. This treatment also effectively combats acne by killing germs and removing toxins on the surface of the skin and by breaking down the dry, dead, glued-together surface sebum that makes skin look dull and clogs pores. This leaves the skin with a wonderfully smooth and clear complexion. With continued use as directed the skin will look more youthful and vibrant.

Exceeded my expectations
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I used this peel on my leg and had the first peel May 27. Although the company said this would be good for hyperpigmentation, I didn’t know just how good … until now. I’ve had some brown spots from a laser procedure and I’ve used so many depigmenting creams/gels but they didn’t work. Apparently this one is since they are slowly fading now. I’ll do my second peel soon and I’m hoping for more improvement.
ETA: I did my second peel today and there’s more improvement: The spots are fading more. I can’t wait for my sixth peel, which will happen sometime later this month. Since I’m used to AHAs, my skin can tolerate peels every five days. And this peel is nonirritating.

great results
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
i am an african american/native american woman with melasma and dark spots from different skin issues. i am a fair skinned woman so everything show on me. I tried the fade creams and finally coughed up money for tri-luma. on it’s own, it’s ok, but with this lactic acid peel it is FANTASTIC. i don’t have sensitive skin, so i use my peel 3 times a week, followed by the tri luma cream. i moisturize and stay out of the sun as much as i can. i have been using it for 3 weeks and my results are great. i would recommend this for people looking for a solution to their hyperpigmentation issues. my skin is very soft now and every week i notice a difference. i will use it for another 3 weeks and take a break. the peel smells kinda funny (it is sour milk smelling) but it is less harsh than the glycolic which i have used as well. i recommend it. for the price, you can’t beat it.

getting compliments
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’m 51 and have been using this product once a week for 4 weeks. I’ve really noticed a difference in my skin. It has softened the fines lines and lightened the sunspots on my face considerably and I’m sure with continued use it will only get better. I’ve gotten professional peels before and I think this peel is just as good,(although not as strong). It really improved the dull red appearance and my make-up goes on so much better.I’m getting compliments on my skin again! Oh one more thing,as someone pointed out,you HAVE to be really good about using sunscreen whenever you use a peel,otherwise you’ll damage your new skin.

fabulous skin!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I tried this product to help clear up some mild/moderate acne on my chin, forehead and sides of my face. I used the peel every five days for a month and my skin looks and feels amazing! I tolerated the 50% well as I am somewhat used to glycolic, but honestly this peel if pretty mild. Just be careful if you have picked anything before peeling, you will burn that spot and leave it red! Best to use it after mild extractions.

i think it gets rid of layers that are bad
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
when I was pregnant i got a weird case of dermatitis around my mouth and nose it looked horrible! It cleared up after I had the baby but the skin around my mouth did feel rough. I used this 2 times the first time it lightened my skin and helped remove some old acne dark spots. The second time it burned into that rough skin around my mouth and nose. It hurt and looked like a flare up of the dermatitis again. BUT when it peeled away I had new soft skin and I am so very happy. I used this on my husband it burned him pretty bad we applied elocon cream from the Dr. But after it peeled his skin looks so smooth now. It also helped him with his folliculitus on his chin. His forehead brightened it is funny you do look happier with a brighter complexion!

Results after two applications
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I was a little skeptical about using yet another product for my acne and blotches. The first application I felt a lot of tingling and slight burning. The second application was much milder. After the second application I had two co-workers and my husband state how well my skin was clearing. I don’t hide behind makeup I go out quite frequently without so it felt really good to hear comments after only the second appl. I have used four applications so far and will definitely continue to use this product. Well worth every penny!!!

My face has gotten clearer and smoother after one use. My pores are smaller and my makeup seems to go on smoother.

Lactic Acid Peel
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I was nervous about doing a chemical peel on my face without a specialist around so I bought one of the gentler formulas to use on my face. I was hoping just to exfoliate some of the dullness from my skin with this, but was surprised at just how much of a difference it made to my facial skin.
My boyfriend who never noticed when I had 6″ of hair cut off and my hair dyed from dark brown to red noticed actually asked me what I was doing to my skin the day after I first used this. He said I looked less tired and happier. So I was more than happy with the results.
It not only made the skin look softer any other products I put on for a couple of days after using this seem to be absorbed better so it makes my moisturisers etc seem to work better too. My skin does go a little pink for a few hours after use so I would recommend it as best to use before bed time and to make sure you follow the directions carefully as I could see how it could burn your skin if left on too long. Also make sure you wear lots of sunscreen on your face for the weeks you are using this as I’ve heard horror stories of home peels sensitizing faces to sun damage and people ending up with brown blotchy faces. OK so you should wear sunscreen on your face all the time but be extra careful while using this.
