- Review From A Guy
I bought this to use on a surgery scar on my body with hopes of lessening the scar's appearance. I have a few scars on my face that I didn't even think of using it on, as they are small and have faded a bit. I'm just used to them.

I have applied this 6 times in two months. I left it on longer each time and I did follow up with lotion, which is necessary, no question. It burned a bit when I left it on longer, which was a contrast to the lack of feeling the first few times I used it for less than 1 minute. After all this time, it has made an enormous difference in my skin. The scars are much fainter, my skin is less oily and it is more even colored. I wasn't in bad shape before, but the change is enough that my male friends are noticing and asking what I did. It's not night and day, it is a subtle change and it has my skin looking great.

One time I had a cut from shaving and I used this. The cut burned and as the skin was broken, I should have waited for the cut to heal, but I'm not that bright. Anyway, I had some spots where I had the cut, but they disappeared in few days. If anyone else has this happen, don't freak out.

Now I like to look my best and I can't believe how well this works. My skin is clear, smooth, less oily and just looks good. I look young anyway, but this really impressed me. I am not a user of this type of product and never knew something like this even existed. We are all different and have different skin, but I have a medium complexion and my skin tends to be on the sensitive side. I haven't had more than 1 pimple since using this. I don't get a lot, but more than I had been getting.

Other reviewers have given some good tips and I will be another voice in the chorus that says what a great product and results this has given me.

- I Was So Scared To Use This.....
...I thought it was going to hurt and braced myself for some intense pain. You know what I felt? Nothing at first, then after being on my face for 8 minutes I started to get a very very very mild sting. I have photosensitive skin. It's not only hypersensitive to the sun, it's hypersensitive to many topical lotions(even a Clinique cream with sunscreen). I just hit the big 3-0 and have decided to fight aging problems before they become problems. I was more than thrilled after using this.

My skin was just a little red for a few hours. My pores seem smaller My skin is definitely smoother, it feels better than it would feel when I put top quality lotion on it--and there is no lotion on it! Also, don't exfoliate after you use this. The day after I did it, I used my apricot scrub in the morning, as I have religiously since I was 13. Despite the fact my face wasnt red or seemingly sensitive, I felt the sensitivity when I did the scrub. Stay away from exfoliations for a week after the treatment to let the cells rejuvenate.

I will be using this every week til the bottle runs out as a sort of practice for TCA and applying it properly. I will also extend the length of time I leave on my face everytime I use it. Hopefully, after this, I'll be ready for TCA 20% Chemical Peel solution, 30mL (Professional).

IMPORTANT ! ! ! !

***EDIT***
OK, I emailed them asking a couple of questions about other products to use in conjunction with this and happened to mention TCA. In their reply, they told me that as of last week(it's 10/27/2009), it is now only legal to sell TCA to people with a prescription. So it might be disappearing from Amazon soon, then again, they sell ephedra and that's illegal in some states. Maybe using amazon as a middle man it isnt so *illegal*? There's also always eBay
Anyway, if you're on the fence about a TCA peel, I'd purchase it now while you can
Their email to me:
Also, so you are aware as a consumer...as of last week, it has become illegal for companies to sell the TCA or Trichloroacetic Acid peels online. It is now a prescription peel.
The TCA peels are a medium peel, which means is travels deeper into the layers of skin. There is down time with these types of peels, due to the level of physical peeling that occurs.
If not performed properly, they can cause scarring. This is why they must be performed by a trained professional such as a dermatologist, or an aesthetician.

- You think acne is bad....
Despite using a timer and neutralizer this peel has left my face with scabs on my cheeks, redness all over, new emerging postules and a lot of pain. This is not a no down time peel!!! I had to go to work like this which is far more embarrassing than acne. I have tossed this peel and suggest those who purchase it use it with extreme caution.

- Help Me Please!
This is not to offend anyone; Has anyone brown complected used this product on their legs? If so, how were the results? If it was not the result that you hoped for, which peel would you recommend?

- Better than Expensive Creams!!!!!
The first time I used this product I was amazed....less oily, firm, and really smooth. At first I used the product for five minutes. Now, I'm up to fifteen minutes and still notice a great difference. You will experience a slight tingling, burning sensation but it's a proven sign that it's working deep within the skin layers. Use Neutrogena's moisturizer afterwards and wake up to beautiful skin! Trust me, you won't be disappointed. It's worth the price and better than an expensive cream! Also, another great tip for men who shave everyday...when I used the product at night before going to sleep and woke up the next day to shave, I read in a magazine that shaving the whole face (carefully avoiding the hairline and eyebrows) will stimulate collagen growth. Very True!!! I've used this technique every other day for the past year and have noticed a more smoother and youthful appearance.
