Planet Eden 50% Glycolic Acid Skin Chemical Peel Kit with Fan Brush- Excellent for Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Sun Damage, Scars, Dull Skin

I've only used this once so far. The shipping was super fast! I followed the directions that came with it. I made my baking soda solution & had it ready, cleaned my face & applied as directed. I was probably only able to leave it on for 2 1/2-3 min. I was starting to itch. I then applied the soda & it sizzled which was fascinating, rinsed & applied aloe vera for cooling then a moisturizer.I did have a few spots that seemed to scab. It did say that it could make acne worse but then get better. I've noticed mine got a little bit worse but not too bad. I did this on Thursday and it is now Monday, my skin is still a little sensitive.Overall I'd say it's working just fine. Can't wait to do the 2nd application.12/10/2014 UPDATESo I have been using this for about 6 months. Technically I should be out but I don't use it as often as I should, I'm lazy. I really like it though. When I do use it consistently, 3/4 times a month, I notice a huge difference! I have "anger" lines, the elevens between my eyebrows (I didn't have them until I became a mother) and they fade so much. Love that! My skin is even in tone, I have less acne and its smooth.This last application, I like to shower after I use it so my skin is super wet, I took my zit popping tool and literally pressed it against my whole face. I pressed out any black head, or potential white head I could. It was awesome. Since my skin was so wet and fresh, the peel had "eaten" the top layers, everything was so easy to press out. It sounds like I have a ton of acne, but really I don't. haha Mainly this was my T zone. But because of the product I could actually remove the junk without much effort. This morning, my skin looks good. I can see in my chin, especially, that I have fewer black heads.I have also purchased the 70% from this company, but I wanted to use all the 50% and work up to it. I can handle the 50% for a little longer, about 5 minutes. It stings but mainly its itchy. I still scab but usually only on the tip of my nose. Its usually gone in a couple days and it doesn't bother me since I'm not a working mom. I always plan my peels around my schedule. I don't do them if I have something in the next couple days. I try to not wear makeup for those 2 days so I can peel and heal. This is way more affective than any exfoliater I've ever used. It removes a ton more layers which is what I was looking for. I still use an exfoliater but well after I've used the peel. Like at least 5 days or more later.

First of all I will say this product is LEGIT and really will help your skin. But HEED THE WARNINGS!! The first time I used it I did pretty much everything wrong. I scrubbed my face really hard beforehand, I did not do a patch test, and I have sensitive skin. I left a product on for 70 seconds and got pretty painful burns. I do not blame the product it was 100% my fault. I was not expecting it to be so POWERFUL. Thankfully there was no scarring and after that experience I (finally. Duh.) thoroughly read the attached information card from the company. The second picture Is my results after doing the peel for the third time. It is definitely working at improving my skin.... if you have sensitive skin you can dilute it with water and do not use any scrubs or exfoliants for two days before hand. I definitely recommend the Planet Eden recovery cream it is wonderful. Great product but know your skin and be smart - this is a professional strength acid! Great value!

After going to salons and hearing about facial peels I decided to try it myself. I am in my early twenties and I have a problem with big pores and fine lines, so I decided to try this peel. These are my experiences with the product:For my first time I started with my chin and my nose, as those areas on my face aren't as sensitive as my cheeks. I continued onto my cheeks, forehead, and upper lip and I started to feel a tingling within seconds. I only left it on for 5 mins as I wasn't used to the burning sensation. After rinsing with cold water my face was red and blotchy, as if my impurities were dramatized and swelling. I just left it alone and decided not to use any toner or facial moisturizer, as I used it before bed. The next few days my skin started peeling and I had red scar marks in some areas. Those went away eventually.The second, third, and fourth time I did the same process, except I left it on for 10 minutes. My skin peeled, I got red marks, and I even burned the side of my mouth which left a scar. No big. I am sure it will fade away.Some things I don't like are the red marks that look like something scratched my face, the scars it left, and the fact that the days following the peel my skin is so rough and dry. I have to apply moisturizer constantly throughout the day because my skin peels so bad.HOWEVER! After seeing the results I believe that constant use of this product will outweigh the petty problems. I've only used this a handful of times but I have seen dramatic change in the size of pores on my nose - they seem to be less noticeable and smaller. Not entirely closed, just smaller. I have also fine lines on my cheeks that are noticeable when I smile. Some areas seem to be more smoothed out.All in all it's a good product. I will have to use it longer to comment on how it affects my skin.
