I bought both 1)Lactic 35% & Glycolic 25% Combo Gel Peel (Professional) and 2)HQ+ Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional) as I was new to peels and wanted to try them on my sensitive and blemished skin.
I started using only the Lactic 35% & Glycolic 25% Combo Gel Peel once every two weeks to allow my skin to get use to the peel, starting with 3 minutes and increasing to about 7 minutes (depending on individual). Initially, I suffered burns around my nose areas as I didn’t know how to adjust the amount. As my skin get used to the peel, I found that it really help me rid my black heads around my nose.
As my skin began to get accustomed to this peel (about 1.5 months later), I began to alternative between this and the stronger HQ+ Gel Peel which I use on my melasma (using spot treatment). This peel was able to reach deep under the skin of some of these spots and after a few days, they begin to peel off like dead skin.
After about nine months alternating both peels, I have had comments that my skin now looks clearer and lighter.
Caution – always moisturize well after each peel. Follow up with hydrating masks the first 1-2 days at the least and sse strong sunscreen after each peel. Good Luck!

|Our Little Secret,
If you’ve had chemical peels before and know how your skin reacts, this is a lot more convenient and inexpensive.
My skin is not particularly sensitive and I have experienced no after-effects of peeling, sores, etc. No burning at all either.
I cleanse my face, use rubbing alcohol to take off any oils and then apply the liquid. I find the area around my nose is most sensitive, so I will apply last/lighter if at all. I also apply to neck, decolletage & tops of hands (all cleansed & alcohol’d). Keep on approx 10mins (that’s ME). Wash off thoroughly. I apply moisturizer for sensitive skin afterwards and deliberately do on a “no makeup day”. I am religious about sunscreen – you will feel some sensitivity from sun for a few days. After 3-4 days, I will swtch from gentle cleanser back to stronger glycolic cleanser & moisturizers
I’ve graduated to stronger pure glycolic peel now – but I have noticed definite evening of skin tone, improvement of fine lines & pores seem tighter. I was doing peels every 2-3 weeks.
One thing to keep in mind. I am not one who gets pimples often, however EVERY time I do a peel, I will get a few on my chin & around my nose. Otherwise, my face is super-smooth and glowy.
I turn 40 later this month. Most people think I’m 33-35. (I had to decline being nominated for “35 Professionals to Watch Under 35″.) My dermatologist – who I don’t see for “face stuff” says he wouldn’t rec’d a single product or procedure in his arsenal.
I don’t attribute it all to this, but it’s definitely one of my “secrets”.

|Ineffective Combo,
I bought 3 items from Skin Laboratory: a) Lactic 35% & Glycolic 25% Combination Acid Gel Peel, b) Glycolic Acid 35% Gel Peel, c) Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel.
I have used each peel for 4 weeks, rest 1 week in between, which is important to avoid sensitivity problem. The result from the combo is the worst. If you have acne, Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel works perfectly. It clears my occasional spots and whiteheads instantly. If you have uneven skin tone, large pores or fine lines, Glycolic Acid 35% Gel Peel brings about a much more dramatic and noticeable effect.
