Choosing a Peel:
Glycolic: stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. It’s small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25% thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid genera… More >>

I got this product yesterday and used it for the first time today. I thought I was going to see an instant improvement in my skin’s appearance like some of the other reviews said, but I do not see anything. Maybe a little bit, but I’m sure it’s just wishful thinking.
I left in on for 1 minute with no tingling at all except a tiny bit on my forehead. I hope this thing is going to work!
Update later

This has done nothing for me. Really, I think it’s just water waiting to work that placebo effect on you.

I’m looking for a TCA peel and notice this and shake my head- This company states that
“Glycolic acid…It’s small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25% thickening over 12 weeks.”
And-
“Lactic: “The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells”
And
Glycolac: “It is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels or the skin.”
Wow! REALLY? Glycolic acid is a small molecule which slips beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below? The only cosmetic peels that penetrate any deeper than sloughing off the first superficial layer of skin, are the phenols and TCAs. This is why phenols are only done by a doctor and under anesthesia. The strong TCAs are done by a doc or licensed esthetician. You can buy the lower strength TCA peels online albeit with a caveat of warnings and disclaimers (so if you use a higher strength than you should or leave it on longer than you should, apply it incorrectly, et al, and give yourself a nice chemical burn, you can’t sue the merchant.) Still, these peels do not reach the dermis, where collagen is located. So unless your glycolic acid peel is a modern day miracle, it cannot “slip” beneath the epidermis. Chemical peels can help to stimulate the body’s production of collagen due to the necrosis (yes, death) of the top layers of skin cells IN the epidermis. The skin reacts to the cell death by stimulating the collagen production just as exposure to sunlight stimulates the production of melanin thus giving people a tan. It has nada to do with gently slipping ‘neath the skin and petting the “collagen fibers”. Your glycolic acid peel would be a miracle of chemistry if it did what you claim. It would also get people really ill, but that’s beside the point I guess. My Lord, even the injectable collagen fillers are made up of molecules that are too big to be absorbed, hence the injectable part. If any topical cosmetic product contained a molecule small enough to actually penetrate the dermis, it would be a prescription now, wouldn’t ya think?
Moving on to your Lactic Acid claim…Exactly how does a lactic acid molecule “pull moisture” into cells? Lactic acid is a hydroxy acid derived from milk. It is not a humectant which attracts and retains moisture from the environment. Is that what you meant by pulling moisture in? A lactic acid peel (or any peel) can help to increase the skin’s ability to retain moisture by dissolving the glue-like substance made of sebum, dirt, old makeup, etc…that holds the dead skin cells together. This results in the dead skin cells sloughing off. The skin can now take in moisture better instead of the moisture sitting on top.
And what exactly is “Glycolac” and how does this product (or is it a new molecule?) work on “different layers of skin”? Which layers? I take it the Glyco part of it can slip beneath the epidermis as well?
Sorry but this kind of advertising really gets my goat. I am trying to find a decent TCA peel on Amazon and it’s frustrating to have to wade through all the c-r-a-p and the false claims made by some vendors. Maybe you have a decent product but I wouldn’t bother to actually purchase it after reading the pitch.
