If the product you are using has sun block in it - that is exactly what happened to me. I have used Oil of Olay for 30 years - when they started adding sun block I couldn't wear it anymore. One day I found a bottle of the ORIGINAL - no added block and it's just fine. No problems. I would tell the company to refund your money.

Dear Pinky - I found this item to be very harsh on my skin. I don't use it at all on my face, as was my intention when I bought it. I used it on my legs last summer but have decided I won't do that again this summer because of the harshness to my skin.

My husband & I tried it & got some very weird reaction...both of our faces became very puffy. I can't say it's not the original since we never tried it before this experience, but w/our reactions & the fact that we returned it, I would trust what your esthetician recommends. After discontinuing the product, all became normal again & we have chosen to live with the laugh lines. ;-)

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 had the same reaction. I actually peeled and got red in a way that I knew something was wrong.I washed it all off..and have moved on to use Paula's choice products..one of them being a daily use bha. I think the formulation for perfect Image becomes more acidic in time. I think it has a short life span. I did not get a full year with it. The one interesting thing...is that it seems to occur after a long break from using it.

I have a dry skin and since I start using this product I got breakout on my face. As soon as I stopped using everything was gone after few days. I used to use different brand from Wegmans and never had a problem. Maybe there is something about that specific brand or my skin is very sensitive.

Hi there, I used this product and initially it seemed ok but to be honest, I have purchased this so many times from other places over the years but this particular one has ruined my skin...which has never happened before. This batch made my skin very itchy and dry and the peeling hasn't happened as it usually does. Maybe it was the batch that I purchased...not sure really.

I have extremely sensitive, reactive, active prone skin and this did not bother me. I blink and break out! I mix this in with my moisture cream and haven't had any problems.

no, I didn't have any problem, I love it. I am on my second bottle right now. I hope I answered your questions. You might want to scrub your face before using this item.

I think you should! I did and worked well, but maybe your skin type is more sensitive or dry. I recommend you try using it every day and see how it goes...

Yes, I have extremely sensitive skin. I cannot use soap or most products due to allergy or sensitivity. I have been using this product for a couple of months with out any reactions. It is cool and soothing.

Honestly no. But I used it so much that my skin actually hardened. I wouldn't recommend using this for long periods of time.

My face never broke out with this. And Retin A might cause dryness and irritation, but it won't be because of this product. I have VERY sensitive skin and never have had a problem with it.

I honestly didn't breakout when I used this which is why I loved it. If you broke out from using it then perhaps this product isnt for you :[ or maybe your skin is just adjusting to the product. Give it a couple weeks and if it doesn't go away then it's time to try something new.

I use it primarily on my face. I have very sensitive skin and have had no problems whatsoever. I feel that it even improved the quality of my skin overall, not just addressed the problem area (which it did within 2 days).

Oh geez, no, myself and my husband and niece and brother all use it daily and have never had an issue with breaking out. Could be you are allergic to something in it?

i used it before in 2012. it didn't peel my armpit. i got perfect armpit. it was fair. after i gave birth in 2013, i stopped using it and now 2014, i started to use it again because of hormonal changes so it darken my underarms. i/m not sure whether they have changed the ingredients or not, but the gel peeled my underarm skin and it's so irritated! my skin become red and it's slowly burned! i stopped using it and wait until my skin heal. will apply again once my skin healed... :( most of my customers complained their skin burned! i've experienced myself and it's true!
