Glycolic peel?

[seriously]

Has anyone had one and if so how were your results? There is a local groupon for one and I am considering trying it. My skin is in decent shape, but I feel my age is slowly starting to catch up with me!

I had one and didn't notice much of a difference. I used a gift certificate and didn't know what to get except that - it was meh.

i did a bunch of glycolic acid peels through MUAC prior to my wedding. if you are doing superficial peels, i think you really need to do a series to see a huge benefit. my skin really looked amazing and glowy afterwards.

I've had a couple. My skin felt amazingly smooth and looked glowy after, but it was short-lived. I think for noticeable and lasting anti-aging effects, you need to do them somewhat regularly. But even as a one-off, it's basically a nice spa treatment, so no harm there.

def. plan a series to really notice a benefit as PP stated. I love them! esp for very fine wrinkles, mild breakouts, and dark spots. summer is a bad time to start a series, tho. Very photosensitive after and will actually be prone to freckles etc unless you 1.) avoid the sun 2.) use SPF70+

even the facialist rec. I wait til fall to start another series. but i'm in FL and I have a quite few outdoor hobbies.

Thanks for the info so far! I have another question, for those saying a series is the way to go, how long do you wait in between peels?

i remember doing mine every 2 weeks. it may depend on the type/strength of peel as to the frequency. hope that helps!
