What is the difference between using this product vs. A glycolic peel every few weeks? Are the results going to be the same?

I think this would be a good maintenance for you in between peels; you might not want to do them as often if you are using this. I had a series of glycolic acid peels at a dermatologist's office several years ago and have just been using this cream since. I really enjoy the benefits of it - great stuff.

I'm not 100% positive, but feel you get same results.I feel peel is more evasive, the cream works but is gentler, does the same but slower process

The directions recommend using once weekly, more often for problematic skin. I hope this information is helpful to you.

Nothing lasts a few weeks....use a small amount morning and evening. Does not clog pores. Excellent product. Depending on your skin type, combine with another product with Dmae etc.

ATTENTION EVERYONE! A 25% TCA peel IS NOT the same as a 25% glycolic acid peel! Do your research and BE CAREFUL!

Thank you everyone for the swift answer! Will you all recommend I use it just once a week than? I initially did not mind the peel, as it is actually clearing the dark marks of my pit and what not, it just got bad it all.

I read somewhere (probably their website) that the Glycolic Compound is 10% in the face cream and 11% in the lotion. It is the fourth item listed in the ingredient listing on the face cream label.

I started seeing results within approximately 3 days. After a full week the results were quite dramatic for me as I suffer from adult acne. My skin has not looked this good for years. I also started using their other product called Acdue, which is specifically for acne and that along with the Glocione are amazing for my skin. Just a side note, both products alone and/or together can sting or burn a little bit at first but it goes away pretty quickly. It also will promote shedding of the top layers of your skin, which is what you want to happen, so you may want to start of slowly by using every couple of days at first and work up to daily use. Hope this helps. I love these products. I started seeing results within approximately 3 days. After a full week the results were quite dramatic for me as I suffer from adult acne.

Every other day for the first week. Once my skin is used to it, I use it once a week as a peel, leaving it on for five minutes then rinsing off then applying a new ght creme. Hope this info helps.

No. If you do some kind of peel, like a glycolic peel, often people have post-peel redness. This product also works well as an every-day product!

Have to agree with Kathie G... Adding this procedure every 3-4 weeks to a regime of professional skin care products absolutely will make a noticeable difference... But using the proper cleanser, toner, & moisturizer is key.

I just spot treated with this product. If I used it all over it really dried out my skin.i have done glycolic peels a few days after.i just avoid the area I applied the skin obsession treatment .sensative and fair skin I have.

I use it once a week, with good results. I've found that if I layer it on thickly, it does dry out my skin, so I use a thin layer.

I have a hard time with dark spots as well. I think that a TCA peel actually is stronger than a glycolic, so I would say go to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon and see what they say about the strength of the peel. The glycolic acid peel is pretty strong and you're right , the point is to peel the skin. If you get a really deep TCA peel, the downtime is about 10-14 days, but it is supposed to really work well. I am too scared to do it because I get cold sores every time I do a peel like that. Ive gotten a few of the lighter ones professionally through my plastic surgeon and they didnt get rid of the dark spots either - my dr. said it was because I didnt let him do a stronger one. Good luck

I had really good luck with this product, although I've only used the peel pads. I've broken out for the first couple weeks starting other products. I think sometimes your skin just needs time to adjust. Good luck!

lactic acid gel peel is the best! you'll see results fast and it's easy to use.

It's about the same as applying the original several days in a row. Not a huge difference.....I'd recommend either, unless you're really pale.

I wouldn't recommend this one. I am African American and Perfect Image glycolic acid peel 30% are way better and give lasting results.
