My local beauty salon have recently started offering Glyolic peels as part of their services.
I have some discolouration on my chin from teenage spots. The texture of the skin there is different to the rest of my skin. I spoke to the dermatologist about this and she recommended a mild glycolic peel. In order to prepare my skin for the a few treatments I was told to use this cleanser for a month before treatment (which cost €51!Extremely expensive for a cleanser!!)
Use:
It says on the box that the cleanser is suitable for all skin types that require deep clean, refining of pores, lines and congestion. It can be used to remove make-up which I'm quite thankful for as I couldn't possibly add more steps into my beauty regime, I'm far too lazy! It also removes eye make-up remover without irritating your eyes.
I was told not to use this whilst on holiday as it can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Results:
I've been using it for 2 weeks morning and before bed. The texture of the area has improved dramatically and I have seen a huge improvement in pore congestion. The dermatologist recommended I use this product for one month every year.
I'm really happy with the results so far. I'll let you know my final verdict in 2 weeks :) Hopefully I won't get any irritation.
I bought mine in Slender Health Beauty Salon in Dublin.
This particular product can only be sold by professionals because it has such a high percentage of glycolic acid(it doesn't state what percentage on the box as it's not sold commercially. I would suggest that you see a dermatologist if you want to try a similar product, as any glycolic acid product you can buy online will not not be the same strength and will not provide dramatic results.

Hey Amy,
That is pretty expensive, but to be honest, I doubt there is a price I wouldn't pay to see improvement in my skin! Life would be so much cheaper if I had perfect skin haha!
I have been watching your videos forever on Youtube and love them. It's taken me forever but I finally started up a blog - I would love if you checked it out! I would be like ooooomygoodness yay!
Hope you are having a good week.
Melissa,

I've been using Serious Skin Care's Glycolic Cleanser for about 8 years. It is the least expensive glycolic cleanser I know of, and you can find it on ebay. Nothing makes my skin feel more clean than this cleanser, and when I switch to another I notice a dramatic difference in the texture of my skin (for the worse!). I also use glycolic peel pads from various companies. Glycolic acid really works!
