MedPeel Salicylic Acid 30% Peel - 30ml

I was recommended salicylic acid by a dermatologist for keratosis pilaris on my arms. The solution is hard to apply, given the pump nozzle spritzes everywhere and leaks. The instructions recommend starting with 3 minutes but I left it on for the longest recommended time which was 10 minutes. It did not sting, and dried very quickly. Stinks to high heaven but it’s a chemical so I expected that. After applying I sprayed my hands with the neutralizer and washed them as the bottle had leaked all over. Then I completed the process on my arms. It hardly frosted, and now nearly a week later I have no change to my skin, except where it leaked onto my hands. They are rough and peeling. I suppose they could use the rejuvenation but not what I bought the bottle for, it’s proof that it works though even though that’s not where I wanted it. I’m going to reorder but this time exfoliate for a week or so before to help the solution penetrate my skin. If you do buy, I’d leave it on for much longer than it recommends (maybe 20 minutes?), and definitely wear gloves. Hopefully you have better luck than me! After hearing of my troubles, the company immediately reached out with a full refund and asked for more details so they could better their product and customer experience. While my first attempt didn’t work well for me, I greatly appreciate a company trying to make it right!

It works really good, I've already bought it 3 times.

I'm a licensed esthetician and this has no salicylic properties. No burn, no scent, I'm allergic to salicylic acid and I had no reaction. SA frosts, this just leaves a dusty white residue to give the illusion of frosting. SA leaves no residue. I want my money back

I have been using various at home peels for years so I have had plenty of peeling experience. I switched from a 20% SA peel from a different brand to this peel, which was the only 30% peel I could find and holy moly it’s some strong stuff. I’m guessing the 20% peel from the other brand wasn’t as good quality as this brand because I wouldn’t think there would be such a jump from 20 to 30 percent. So 5 stars for probably melting my face off if I left it on for longer than like 30 seconds.

I’m not the biggest fan of the consistency simply because it’s not what I’m used to, however, it does the job and is noticeably stronger than 20 percent. My preference is another brand that’s a lot thicker because u have way more control. This manipulated like water. 4-5 stars for its peeling ability and 1 for texture overall 3.
