I can't and shouldn't respond to this question. Your concerns should be addressed to the company. Good luck.

This peel is for people who are used to peels especially 10 or 15 percent strength glycolic acid. If you buy this peel PLEASE follow the directions to the TEE!! Do not leave the peel on any longer than listed initially and use a good sunscreen..... preferably spf 30 or higher or you will burn terribly in the sun. Also the longer you leave on the peel, the more it will frost and the darker the treated or frosted areas will be. If you decide to leave it on for 3-5 min before rinsing, take time off from work or you will have weird stares from people!

Yes I think this would be great for you. You will peel a little but nothing you can't handle

this would be a great peel for you to start with, wonderful ingredients, not to strong but you will get results. This is a great way to do effective mini-peels at home. The more you do the better the results! Debbie, 14 years esthetician

I have used lactic acid on an off for 2 years, and never peeled, ever, I didn't think it was doing anything, because the results are slow, but it does, oh boy it does. It sure helped my melasma of 10 years, not this product, I've never tried it, I have yet to ever do an 88% peel, I've never gone past a 30% and at first you won't see much results, but after repeated weekly use, you will. It will burn though, especially at this strength. If your scared of the burn, then mix it at 12%-15% with a lotion, it'll work, that is what I did.make sure you ph test it. I'm not into the burn thing.

The peeling is not bad at all. If you feel is too strong just use it a few times a week. I use it every day 2 a day. I started to see my skin a lot lighter.

must use regular and that's what I'm not doing. However, the longer you leave it on, the peeling reacts better. Must use something to help clear away the died skin. Try using Loofah Complexion pads. You may like it.

Actually for most anti-wrinkle products to be truly affective you need to start ASAP. I am 24 and use the serum and moisturizer for dual purposes. Great for long-term skin appearance. Plus I had a severe case of acne and was left with red marks (thankfully no bumps or pocks) and the retinol has faded the marks to the point that I don't need foundation anymore!

As with any retinol product, go easy at first, perhaps always, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. I use it sparingly and just a few times a week. My skin is very sensitive, but so far I haven't burned my skin. I use the product and alternate with a exfoliate made with Emu oil. It works for me.

None. It was a good moisturizer. I did do an acid peel and mixed it with lotion and that had some peeling. This did not at all. It says it is strong but no peeling. I use this and a Beverly something acid 70%but I mix it with lotion and that has seemed to work well paired with this for minor tightening and peeling.

The last purchase I made was a tube. Previously in a jar, so wasn't sure about the tube, but it worked well. Haha...don't know why my husband's name is attached to this post :)By the way, I love this cream. I use it with a retin A cream, alternating nights, and get a mild peel. If you haven't used it before, I would suggest testing it on a small area before applying it to your entire face....especially if you have sensitive skin.

I use it every night and do apply a small amount on my face including at the crows feet and below my eyes. I do not put on a heavy amount and I do not use it during the day when I might be sweating or exercising. I have never had any stinging or reaction. I have never had any peeling or redness with this product but I have had it with other products.

I just starting using this product, it has only been about 4 days, so I can't say, I have rosecea also , so I like that it doesn't make me breakout, non oiling, I have used another product from this line and been using that for a while, I use it all over my face and focus under and around my eyes and it is hard to judge myself, but I look to see how many wrinkles or imperfection that other people have that I don't , I look mainly on the sides of my side eyes where crows feet would be and they are very fine and not getting any worse. I like this product and will continue to use it , it also has sea buckthorn oil in it that is helpful for rosecea , sorry I couldn't be more helpful I just starting using this product, it has only been about 4 days, so I can't say, I have rosecea also , so I like that it doesn't make me breakout, non oiling, I have used another product from this line and been using that for a while, I use it all over my face and focus under and around my eyes and it is hard to judge myself, but I look to see how many wrinkles or imperfection that other people have that I don't , I look mainly on the sides of my side eyes where crows feet would be and they are very fine and not getting any worse.

I also have acne prone skin and I use this to clear up some of the acne marks that healed up. This is a great refreshing moisturizer that will leave your skin looking healthy, but the only thing is it's not SPF so if your going out you would have to mix it with one. I feel the transition in moisturizers wouldn't be bad for you because it's water based and very light on the skin.

I used 5X myself. Then I went for the 10X. I thought it was great until the peeling was so out of hand that I could not go anywhere. If I could hide out for a couple of weeks I would have stayed with it until all of the peeling went away. I love the 5X anyway and I had to go back to it. I have sensitive skin and even the 10 did not hurt at all. Just the peeling which would have gone away at some time. My husband just could not stand it. Good luck!

Gosh yes it is is a moisturizing cream. But because of the retinol, you will experience tightness and peeling as if your skin were dry. With continued use, the peeling subsides. However, I would highly recommend beginning with the 0.5% retinol version as the 1.0 is very harsh. Too much for my skin and I had to go back to the 0.5 version. Of course you may experience different results.

I'm sure it's different for everyone, but mine only took a week or so to notice the difference. Beware, if one of the products starts to make your face burn or peel, it's probably not the cleanser - I don't use all 3 products anymore, just the cleanser and sometimes the stuff with SPF.

I have sensitive, combination skin. I have not tried the rose version. But, I am very happy with this product. I have been using it for about 6 weeks. I have not had any break outs or sensitivities.
