Does anyone have good results with glycolic or other chemical peels? I am looking to remove some dark acne spots and reduce wrinkles. I am doing it at home.

The only one I would recommend is the 2 step peel by MD Skincare.

I've had a chemical peel at my dermatologist's office. It's far better than the over the counter stuff. It was $100. For wrinkles and acne, ask for a script for Retin A. It takes care of both issues.

The sun, acne, or simply aging can leave your complexion uneven, wrinkled, stained or scars. If you want your skin look smoother and younger, consider a chemical peel uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your skin by removing damaged outer layers.

A chemical peel, also called dermal chemexfoliation or peeling, is one of the least invasive methods to improve the appearance of your skin. Although chemical peels are used most in your face, they can also be used to improve the skin of your neck and hands.

I have used lactic acid which is gentler for sensitive skin. It BURNS though! So it would be good to have some aloe on hand. You can buy the acids in different concentrations. I used Skin Laboratory when I bought the lactic acid. I would recommend them. Also check out amazon for reviews on different chemical peel brands.

I use the Skin Lab products on Amazon. How long does it take to see results from the Gylcolic acid peel? I am on my 2nd treatment. It says your facial will peel but that is not happening with mine.....yet anyway.
