You don't need to buy a neutralizer. You can make one with baking soda and warm water. Put a tablespoonful in a cup of warm water. Use a cotton ball to spread the mixture on your face after you are done to cancel the acid. When the neutralizer hits the acid, it will fizz and sting a bit, but the stinging will go away after a second. Wash your face with water after you are done with the neutralizer. You should definitely work yourself up to the 8 minutes, otherwise you will look like a tomato after the first treatment.

Hi Nessa. I apply it one to two times a week (at night) due to the smell (especially the smell it leaves on my pillows). However, if its a lazy weekend and I'm just chilling at home (by myself) I'll apply it and leave it on my face for several hours before washing it off with my regular face wash regimen. It seems to be enough to see the results I'm looking for. Hope this helps!

Hi. It is a bit too rough for the face. Depends on how sensitive your skin is. It may cause a breakout

Start with the 10% and after you go through the product than move up to 12%. I have combo/oily skin and also sensitive to break out. This product works good for me. If you have a breakout that you messed with, this will sting a tad when it enters the poped zit. It is a acid- so if you sweat it off and it runs into your eyes it may also burn- so I apply before bedtime and it does not discolor my pillow cases.

I would use a concealer before and the. Use this and apply a light powder finish, there is a lioele dollish cc cream that is good with acne though. Ouse it more than this one, but this is still a great product

It sounds awful, but it's your body purging. It's actually a really old thing because your body is finally pushing to the surface what has been trapped. If you continue to drink it and treat your skin/acne as you normally would you'll notice the acne will clear up and your skin will look renewed. Oh and don't pick at the acne!!! If you aren't used to breakouts, use a gentle cleanser and a salycilic acid based serum or cleanser to dry them up, other wise let them be!!Good luck :-)

Not certain as to the technical answer to that... I can tell you that I can use it daily for about 2 weeks before I notice my skin feeling more oily than usual, longer if I'm using a good face wash. But, I've never dealt with acne, so my perspective may not be a good source of information. I would imagine that the Andalou company would be pretty good about addressing that in an email though. Best wishes in your search for an answer!

Good question ! In my opinion, I would stick with one at a time. It also depends on the strength of the glycolic. I have the 80% glycolic and use that about once a week and use the acne stop only on blemishes as a spot treatment. Make sure you wait at least a day after your glycolic to apply the acne stop. Just don't put one chemical on top of another. You will burn your skin and can cause dark spots. Hope this helps:) I have every type of peel and love them. You should try a lactic. Those are amazing!

I have no down time leave it on as directed. I use it once a week I follow the direction that came with it. I use water mix with baking soda to neutralizer the process and Use sterile pads apply to face. I hope this helps.

It burned the *expletive deleted* out of my face after about a minute. I left it in probably for about 3 minutes before I used baking soda to neutralize it. I would say do a test on your neck or something first because it was not my first peel I knew what to expect. What I do now is I only put it on areas that are uneven in tone or that have pimples and leave it for the full time (about 8-10 min) or as long as I can stand it LOL and then neutralize it. Follow up with a moisturizer for your skin type (I use pure argan oil from Morocco) and you're good to go! It is a pretty decent peel even if it burns a bit and it doesn't quite PEEL peel but you'll notice your skins clarity improves. Hope this helped!

I use it on my face and my body multiple times per week. I haven't had any breakouts, and it doesn't have a super-oily appearance. Just don't drown your face with it. You just have to let it sit for 15 minutes or so, and it will settle in. I layer it with moisturizer/lotion. The white coating also fades a bit as it dries.

You can purchase the brush if you want, but I use a small cosmetic brush. I don't buy neutralizer. I use one teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water and rinse with that. wash with cold water afterwards. After drying my face I put some Argan oil. It takes away the redness and calm the skin. Don't exceed the recommended time for first few uses and do the patch test if you are new to peels. Hope it helps.

I've heard it's doing it but honestly I haven't personally experienced much difference. It does help with marks and evening out skin tone but it won't be noticable quickly. U might need to use it for a month before you see the small difference. I am basing it on my experience.

1st, start by putting on a lite layer. Wait till it dries or or longer if you want . Gently wipe off all white residue. It last for appr. 8 hrs. Does not flake off. You might need moisturizer. Put on without pulling. Wait couple min then makeup. Nothing much happens when it wears off. I just look a little tired. if you want wash face and start all over again. just remember lite layer is all you need.

I use the gauze that comes with it and pour it into little plastic jello shot cup...lol. I put it on and leave it on for four minutes and rinse really well with cold water. 3 weeks while spot treating any new acne spots.

I'm a licenced esthetician. We do it on clients weekly or biweekly depending on skin type. Expect to purge after if your using it for acne

I don't dilute it, I paint it directly on with a fan brush and leave it on for as long as I can stand it. When I first started using it, that was one minute or so. Now my skin can handle leaving it on for 3 or 4 minutes. Then rinse it off with really cold water until it doesn't burn anymore, and I usually put a cold washcloth in the freezer for a few minutes and hold that on my face afterwards too.
