I BOUGHT THIS ON A WHIM TO GET RID OF SOME DISCOLORATION SCARS LEFT FROM ACNE. I HAVE COMBINATION OILY SKIN AND GET CYSTIC ACNE SPOTS ONCE A MONTH. I HAVE USED THIS THREE TIMES AND IT HAS NOT ONLY FADED MY SCARS BUT HAS ALSO HELPED MY SKIN TEXTURE OVERALL AND I HAVENT HAD A BREAKOUT YET. I HAVE STOPPED USING MY PRESCRIPTION ACNE GEL. I HAVE USED THIS PEEL ONCE EVERY 10 DAYS AND THEN A GENTLE CLEANSER AND FACE LOTION DAILY. I THINK I CAN GET ABOUT 6-8 PEELS OUT OF THIS BOTTLE. I WAS SCARED ABOUT HOW HARSH IT WOULD BE ON MY SKIN BUT ITS VERY GENTLE. I LEAVE IT ON FOR 4 MINUTES AND IT STINGS A BIT BUT THEN ONCE WASHED OFF ITS FINE. THE FIRST TIME STUNG THE WORST BUT NOW MY SKIN IS USED TO IT. MY FACE DOES PEEL AFTER A FEW DAYS BUT IT IS MINIMAL AND IT IS MORE LIKE A LIGHT FLAKING THAN ACTUAL PEELING. THE FIRST TIME I APPLIED IT TO MY NECK AND IT WAS TOO SENSITIVE AND RED AFTER SO I DONT RECOMMEND THAT. I DIDNT GET THIS INITIALLY AS AN ACNE TREATMENT BUT IM SUPRISED HOW WELL IT HAS WORKED ON MY SKIN AND I PLAN ON USING IT EVERY 2 - 4 WEEKS FROM NOW ON AND DITCHING ALL MY OTHER FACE PRODUCTS. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND ANYONE TO AT LEAST TRY THIS PEEL OR THE OTHER SKIN LAB PEELS SINCE THEY ARE SUPER AFFORDABLE AND SAFE TO TRY AT HOME.

I’ll start off with saying that I bought the 35 glycolic peel for my acne and was able to leave it on for 10 minutes (with little to no pain at all) and I applied it every three days. I honestly didn’t see much as far as results so I ordered the BHA+.
I just applied it about half an hour ago for the first time and thought I would give anyone an idea of my first experience with it.
WOW! Much stronger. It felt like it was burning my face off. From the time I started applying to my forehead until the time I started rinsing it off was probably an even 60 seconds. Very painful. It took a lot of rinsing until the burning was just a stinging. I patted my face dry and it was pretty red and still stinging but that all went away within 2 minutes. Even though my face didn’t look clearer (obviously blemishes can’t disappear that quickly lol), my skin looks more even. Right now my face feels good. I applied a light moisturizer and it doesn’t feel dry at all.
Maybe other people don’t have such a sensitive reaction to the BHA+ like I did but I feel like I can put up with under 5 minutes of torture if it will clear my skin. Hopefully it will be worth the trouble!
I will update again in a few weeks to let you all know how it works in the long run. I just felt like this might be important for anyone considering purchasing the product to know what the actual process is like rather than just the results.
UPDATE!
I have been using this product religiously since I first bought it, applying it every 7-10 days. I still haven’t seen much improvement overall, but I think it does help a little bit. It almost seems like the pimples themselves are smaller. They are less numerous but I still definitely have acne and there hasn’t been a day that I’ve even been close to having clear skin.
I’ve been able to leave it on for longer and I always leave it on for 5-6 minutes. It does dry out my skin and I’ve been needing to use a light moisturizer every day but this is a good thing because I’ve never been able to use moisturizer. I live in a really dry area too and since it’s winter, it’s especially dry.
I do think that overall my skin has improved, but this product hasn’t been a miracle worker for me. I’ve been noticing though that I think since I live in a dry area, it really contributes to my acne as well because whenever I go on vacation to a humid place, my face clears up immensely. I’m moving to Hawaii in about 6 months so maybe with this product combined with some humidity to keep my face moisturized, I will improve. If so, I’ll update on here again because it may be helpful to anyone who does live in a more humid environment. It’s funny how the place you live can influence your skin!
I think that for anyone with difficult skin, this product is without a doubt worth trying. I’m sure that once I run out I’ll buy it again because it does help me more than anything else I’ve used.
