Glycolic peel satisfaction: Good

Why: This was an at-home peel kit
Hello. Last night I performed my first chemical peel, an at-home 50% glycolic peel. I followed instructions and left it on my skin for approximately 1 minute. The next day my skin has shown no reaction at all.
Haven't seen results yet but I think it will perform well when I determine what level to use. I am posting this because the website won't allow me to post without input in this area and I'm not sure where else to post it.

I just performed my first chemical peel too... at home 30% glycolic peel for 90 sec. bought it off of ebay. I have some results so far it seems to be working, my face did sting, frost a little, slightly smelled like skin burning, turned white and then turned pink, now it is tight and feels like a sunburn, I put Vaseline on it and seems to be fine so far so good just a little pink. From what I have read I think this is normal results and is working accordingly. Not sure if my face will peel with 30%, some say yes and some say no, so we shell see, If not, I will move up to the next dose in two weeks. Maybe your bottle was not what it was suppose to be, 50% should of gave you something to go by. you didn't feel it sting or burn? because that you should of felt.
