Salicylic 10% Gel Peel, Breakout and Pore Minimizer and Cleanser, 15-30 Full Facial Chemical Peels, 1 fl oz. e, 30 mL – Perfect Image

This product is no joke I’ve been using acids for quite a while (years, I’d say) and was not expecting such instant results. For reference, I use the Paulas Choice 2% BHA almost daily, the 8% AHA interchanging with the 4% BHA, along with other acids. Tried a low grade Trentinoin for a while but it dried me out like I’ve never experienced before. I have oily-ish normal-ish skin, I’d say? My main concerns are large pores on cheeks, forehead lines, and deep milia on cheeks. THIS product not only worked overnight to leave me with baby soft skin, clearer pores and reduced redness but also I can see a difference within a few days of it working. I feel like my deep set white bumps are diminishing. I will caution you - as someone who is experienced in acids, even this caused some dryness and flaking. Not too severe… it easily covers up with a thick moisturizer (The Ordinary hyaluronic usually), makeup prep (non silicone based primer) and foundation. I’ve been using this about twice a week for 2-3min/session, and in conjunction with the Anua toner, Cocokind barrier serum, some oil, and either Paula’s Choice hydrating treatment mask or Kiehls moisturizer. I’d say it’s a great bang for your buck and definitely works as promised. Just please be careful because it is potent. Good luck!

This stuff works! I have severe keratosis pilaris on my face and arms. Nothing seems to control the bumps, even my prescription retinoids. However, this peel shows results in as little as one use. I used it all over my face one night and then as a spot treatment on my bumps another night. While nothing is going to magically fix your skin overnight, I had at least a 50-60% improvement in just 2 uses. Will definitely be repurchasing when I run out. A few things to note- this did cause a stinging sensation on my face. However, I’m used to this side effect because I’m a frequent user of salicylic acid products. If you’re new to salicylic acid and/or peels, be careful with this! Another thing is the consistency of the product- it is thick (almost like a gel). Because of this, the dropper is basically useless. I’ve been just dipping the dropper in the bottle and then I rub the product off the sides of the dropper with a cotton round or swab. I’m thinking about transferring the product to a different container entirely that is easier to use. Despite these negatives, it’s still so worth it for me. I was using the Paula’s choice 9% salicylic acid but it’s $30-$40 for barely any product. This product is more cost effective and I even think it works better.

Great product but opening bottle sliced my finger! Please soften the edge of the top!

This is awesome! I can feel the peel working. Followed up with a red light therapy and hyaluronic acid my skin is glowing

I am working my way up to trying stronger peels, but starting low with my sensitive skin. Wasn’t sure about this one, bc sometimes 2% toners can really really warm up my face lol. But this one was more gentle than expected. Made several passes on the areas that need it. And left it on for 3 minutes. Glad I didn’t go any longer. My skin was pretty red and hot when I rinsed. But calmed quickly as I applied a low strength HA. Don’t foresee any flaking, but I’ll update if I do. Now on to trying madelic acids and eventually I might try the TCA. We will see lol.

OK, this is a strange review. The product itself is fantastic. It’s a very very good product but the packaging… That damn top has cut me three times. You’ve got to do something about how sharp the edge of the top is. So the product gets five stars the packaging gets one star so three stars it is.

I have very acne-prone, sensitive skin. I started out with an OTC 2% salicylic acid cream and went through the purging process for about 6 weeks, which was not fun, but you've got to get through the bad to get to the good sometimes. I still was having breakouts, so I decided to try this 10% salicylic acid. It is helping to further clear my skin, including whiteheads & blackheads, which I don't think that I would have accomplished with my 2% OTC cream, or at least not as quickly. As far as my sensitive skin, I am really glad that I purchased the 10% instead of the 20%. It starts to burn after about 1 minute. I started out washing it off after 1 min and gradually increasing it by 1 min every few days. I can now do the full 5 min with the burning sensation being tolerable. I plan on repurchasing this product.

The pipette came loose while opening of the bottle for the first time. Once it was assembled together the bottle would not close. Item is not eligible for return or replacement.

Works great on my skin & does what it’s suppose to do. I also bought the Glycolic 30% gel & I love it too!
