Product Description
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sour milk. Lactic acid helps to eliminate germs, toxins and dead cells from the skin's 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. Amazon limits the amount of information we can display.

 Actually I am reviewing 88% Lactic Acid September 3, 2010
Janet N. bass freak NY
I use this peel (not 50%) actually at 88% raw on my face and leave it on for maybe five minutes then neutralize with wet baking soda. After about 3-4 days my face peels slightly and I see a really fresh glow. I am using to fade dark spots but its also making my face smooth as a baby, no lines whatsoever and I am 49 years old. I would recommend this product, and no I did not even buy my 88% strong peel at Amazon.

As a licensed esthetician, I am cringing reading the reviews of some of the users of this product.
"Applying and leaving on" "Applying 3 times a week" "Using as a daily exfoliator"
If your not going to seek the advice of your dermatologist or esthetician, please buy a book on Chemical Peels to understand how they work.
Applying more that once every 10 days will thin out your skin and will cause problems down the line. The whole point of "Peeling" is to clear away the old dead skin cells and allow new ones to surface. It takes your skin (depending on age) 20-42 days for brand-new skin cells to work their way up to the surface of the epidermis, if your constantly stripping your damaging your new skin cells. Patience is needed with peels and generally a series of 4-6 are needed depending on your expectations. Always apply spf of 30 or more afterward and before starting with this 50% lactic prime your skin a week before by using 2-5% glycolic wash. And PLEASE seek the advice of your friendly neighborhood dermatologist and/or esthetician before even attempting to peel.
Good luck to you all.
**Oh and regardless of what the manufacturer claims it does not change the "size" of your pores, they may appear smaller because the chemical de-congests the follicle but if you naturally have big pores; this will not shrink them.

So far I've used this product about 4 times (every 5 days) and I like it but I don't LOVE it. The very first time I used it I felt like I noticed a difference in my face but after the first use I don't really feel like I see a difference after using this product. But...this instructions did say that you really start to see results after the sixth application. I'm going to continue using this product though because I think it's better to have it than not.
The first time you use it, it's amazing. My mositurizer seemed to sink into my skin deeper, if that makes any sense. I did get little white heads on my face the next day but I think that normal because the same thing happened when I got a facial at the spa. The white heads are very small and not really noticable so don't worry. Plus they go away in like a day or so.
Good Stuff July 26, 2010

I'm on my third treatment. I didn't wait the recommended 5 days between treatments as my face is used to harsh abrasive type treatments....I've been waiting 3-4 days between applications.
So far, I have noticeably reduced the redness in my face and I can say it's similar to Proactive in that sense. *Some* of my acne scars have diminished in appearance. Yay!
The first time I applied it with a cotton ball...very lightly and washed it off after only 3 minutes due to reviews about burning. The next two apps I used a gauze pad folded in fours (like the directions suggest) and applied a thicker coat. I left it on for at least 10 minutes both times. Yes, it stung like a sunburn so I just sat in front of a fan...no big deal. It was not very painful at all. Once it's washed off there is no burning what-so-ever.
I'm curious to see how it works over time and will update with more results. I'm especially excited to move on to the level 3 products.
OH! If you order from [...] it's only $16! (Google it just to be sure of the web site.)
Best hand treatment ever! July 4, 2010

Lactic Acid 50% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)I have spent a fortune on expensive hand creams that don't really smooth skin on my hands.... I got lactic acid for exfoliating skin on my face and decided to try it on my hands. I had read somewhere that milk maids of old had beautiful hands due to lactc acid and decided it couldn't hurt to try. WOW!!! My hands looked so much better after one treatment. The small bottle has enough for several treatments at half the price of expensive hand cream. It also fades age spots and freckles. The peeling action on hands reveals really smooth skin that is silky soft. I'll keep using this...no more expensive hand treatments for me!
