This product does not work cost $200 and they will not accept a return if you buy this you are screwed

I have been going for glycolic acid peel treatments at my local spa for about a year and it has been helping my skin tremendously..but it is also pricey. I have acne, oily prone skin. I am in my 30s and have started seeing fine lines etc so I understand the benefits of glycolic acid peels/treatments for my skin. I have been searching for a good grade glycolic peel that I can do myself in order to save money but still get the "spa" grade benefits. There are quite a few options but not pure and at this strength available. The product comes well packed and with an instruction card. I followed the instructions exactly as prescribed and I had an excellent experience with this product. If you have not used glycolic acid before, please ensure you do your patch test first. This will tingle as it is a form of chemical exfoliation of the top layer of the skin. The directions also include how to create an easy at home neutralizer for those who may have more sensitive skin types. I didn't need it. All in all I definitely recommend this product. I was happy to be able to purchase it at a discount and this is my honest review of my results. I also had several questions during the process, and the company answered them all in a friendly and timely fashion, which is important to my entire customer experience.

LOVE. There was no long lasting redness or irritation. It works wonders brightening my skin, getting rid of fine lines and keeping breakouts at bay. The price I feel is a little steep but still would cost you more at a spa. Overall I'm happy with this product, it works very well!

This product works amazing, it takes time of course but after the first month of using it, there was a noticeable difference in my skin. No more blemishes or pimples. It does burn and you will have to only put it on for a couple minutes at first but once you use it consistently there's less and less burn and your face gets clearer!

I can't rate this item because I just received it today. I was kind of excited but! The top that screws to the bottle was loose. I lost about 1/4th of product. The pump part was good.I was just a little bumbed out that I had lost that much product being it cost $125.00 or so. Shoot. 😕

I was a little scared to apply this peel the first time I used it. While I'm used to applying my own glycolic, lactic, salicylic, and even TCA peels, I've never applied an unbuffered peel before. I honestly had no idea there was a distinction between buffered and unbuffered (pasted research below review). I think this is one area where the manufacturer can improve -- include more education/information on both the product listing and the insert that comes with the product.So this was extremely mild and non-irritating when I first applied the peel. I followed directions to the 'T' and only let it sit for 2 minutes for my first application. I might as well have just washed my face with a glycolic cleanser because it did nothing. I waited 7 days...all the while suspiciously checking my face every day to see if the effects would just "appear" and I would see heavy exfoliation...nothing. I wasted product and my time on that first go round. I determined that I would be more bold with the second application. This time I left it on for 10 to 15 minutes, as a previous reviewer had...which, over the course of 6 to 8 days provided me with the results I'm used to seeing with peels.My skin reacted in the normal fashion that I'm accustomed to. I use only cold water for about 2 minutes to neutralize the acid -- I forego the baking soda mix altogether since I find that it makes my face feel like it's burning more initially. I started flaking and seeing the peel commence on about the fourth day. Some of my acne scars literally just peeled off along with the peel. I'm using lots of vitamin C and sunscreen to help even out my skin tone afterwards.This is a lot of product for the price...a very expensive price. But I can see this lasting for many, many months, even if you're applying this peel every 1 to 2 weeks. Hopefully after several treatments I can scale back to only applying this quarterly.With regard to the unbuffered state, here is some research I uncovered:Glycolic acid is an effective alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) typically used in anti-aging skin care, but it's also good for treating sensitive skin, acne and hyperpigmentation, especially when it is in a buffered state.Contrary to popular belief, buffered acids are no less effective; in fact, with buffered acids there is less discomfort and redness – and exfoliation takes place in a less visible manner. Additionally, buffering provides a time-release quality to the product. This prolonged effectiveness is thought to give better long-term improvements. No matter what AHA you choose to use, choosing one that is buffered will help yield amazing results with less redness and irritation.DISCLAIMER: I received this product at a discount in exchange for honest and unbiased feedback.

I have had the opportunity to use the Pluri-Peel three times. The first two times I left it on my face for 5 minutes and the last time 15 minutes. I had a moderate burning sensation with my last use, but still no peeling. Though, I really like using this glycolic acid. This is going to be used until the bottle is empty and then I'll probably look for something stronger. My skin needs help.
