Started with 10% to get skin used to peel twice a week then moved into 20% after 6 sessions twice a week or once if skin was still peeling. Kept skin moisturised as it gets dry.

Broke out at first which is good it's decongesting the skin then I noticed no new scarring appeared from new breakouts whilst using peels when usually a mark would be left. Breakouts didn't last as long as usual disappeared quicker than usual. Breakouts decreased at the moment. Soon I will just use 20% once a month for maintenance. Next I will seek something to reduce appearance of previous scars to a unnoticeable level. This peel didn't gt rid of scars but noticed a difference possible fades. See pic and decide for yourself ???? good luck! I use an at home peel kit from eBay.

Yes, I can definitely see a big difference.   I guess it just takes a layer at a time to get results.
Keep posting the pictures as you do the treatments.

You were over using it massively , that can damage the skin , you are only supposed to do it once a week . That's what the experts say it is acid at the end of the day . Anyone reading this please don't copy this . Do it once a week with the 20% for six weeks then stop for three weeks and continue if you need more treatment . Save yourself from skin damage !!!!

Well I followed instructions that I received with the product so maybe different EXPERTS say different things! This site is for personal reviews as well as experts advice. Skin damage is far fetched at 20% it's a very superficial percentage that's why it can be done at home. Anyone reading this listen to physcho GWAk1991 clue in name wak for wako! U really need to calm yourself down u weirdo

I choose to do this at home because I couldn't afford it professionally.

The results are from a salicylic acid peel 10% to 20%. But I started with a very low concentration glycolic peel from boots uk, this was only to gt used to doing peels because I was scared and have never of done one before and I thought the glycolic peel sold in the shop on the shelfust be safe enough to build my confidence. This glycolic peel was so low there was only smoother skin as a benefit. I'm sure people have had better results but a much much higher percentage.

Salicylic acid peel results!

Above show my salicylic acid results but I have now purchased a salicylic/mandelic 20% peel. I have used twice. Same routine same feeling. Sometimes the feelings intense sometimes it's a slight stinging. It varies I don't know if this depends on how much I apply I only ever put on one layer. Sometimes I see frosting of the skin where it goes white but most time I don't. I was my face with a wash that has salicylic acid in you do t have to any face wash will work but that's what I use. Then I put rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad and rub all over face to get rid of excess oils to allow peel to work effectively. I have only recently started to do this because I couldn't find alcohol to prep face suppose I could get it off a home face peel wen site but I have not done this as yet. Then I apply the acid peel to a separate cotton pad I like using two cotton pads together but use one if running low. Then in circular motion rub all over face. I don't have acne on neck or back but if you do apply this method on those areas also. I wait 7 mins then wash off with luke-warm water and a little face wash after to make sure all traces are gone I then use cold water to close pores and calm skin as a toner may react with skin at this point so I minus toner and always apply a moisturiser. My skin never used to get dry at first but did after awhile trust me prevention is better than cure. The dry skin is not a good look looks like peeling. I'm not sure of this was just dry skin or a combination of the peel really working and peeling dull skin to reveal new skin. But looked like I had eczema for a few days.
