Five Star Reviews:	71% Amazing! October 30, 2017 I wish I knew about this face wash years ago!! When combined with another Body Merry product, this line of face wash has kept my face acne free and healthy. I plan to use this product for years!! Five Stars October 12, 2017 As expected, no irritation. Soft & Glowing October 6, 2017 Love this product. It's my first time to purchase it. I've never heard of this product before & i'm not really sure how I came across it on Amazon, but i'm so glad I did. Just by reading all the reviews, I was positive I would love it. The product is very mild. The scent is also very mild. There are fine beads in it, for mild exfoliation. I could see results after my first use. My skin immediately looked softer, and my pores were visibly smaller. Directions say to use it 4-5 times a week if you have oily skin, and 2-3 times for normal skin. I do use toner, serums, & moisturizer after washing, it makes such a huge difference on your skin. I highly recommend! I’m very pleased! September 28, 2017 By far the best face wash I’ve ever used. I don’t wear any make up so it’s super important to me I have clear, clean. I have never used a face product that works so well. My skin feels soft, looks soft, and has stayed completely acne free since I started using it. Great product for me September 20, 2017 Great product for me.It does exactly what it says. I experienced no negative reaction from it. Helped my skin shed the dark spots quicker and smoothed out my skin tone/acneJust give time 30-60 days. Before and after helps tremendously!I only use this 2-3x a week. Sensitive, acne-prone, combination skin? This could help. September 19, 2017 I have sensitive, breakout prone, combination skin at nearly 30 years old - ugh! I've noticed an improvement in my skin since I started using this cleanser after removing my makeup with a cream cleanser. My complexion looks less pitted and my breakouts clear up a little bit quicker. I use this in combination with the Breakthrough Night Cream, which seems to balance out the dryness and oiliness.	54% No more age spots! August 31, 2016 I have never used this product before, but am so glad I bought it! I am in my early 50's and have noticed some age spots creeping in....now I notice them going away after the second application. I will always use this! Not as bad as everyone's saying July 2, 2015 I have to say either I have a high pain tolerance or the rest of the users have very very sensitive skin. I have not ever had sensitive skin but around the age of 16 my dermatologist put me on Acutance. It's a very strong prescription to cure acne. It has made my skin more senitive so I was hesitant to try this peel. I have to say I have not one complaint! I was able to leave the peel on for only 2 minutes the first time I used it. But after a month now I am able to keep it on my face for 9minutes. A little tip-keep yourself busy while the peel is on-It helps distract from the stinging. Also there's only one moisturizer I would recommend using after you wash off the peel: Simple Replenishing Moisturizer. Great for age spots and skin dullness April 6, 2015 Great for age spots and skin dullness. I've done two treatments and can see improvement already. They say six treatments is the magic number but you have to make sure you use a sun block of 30 and space out the time in between peels by roughly 3 weeks to achieve good results. I don't like how oily sun block makes my skin but I can tell it'll be worth it in the long run. works like a charm March 30, 2015 This thing save my face. I had those huge cystic pimples all over my face. My face was swollen and I've seen dermatologist after dermatologist with very slow results, until my sister told me about acid peel. I leave it for 4-7 minutes and neutralized it with baking soda then moisturize with unprocessed coconut oil. works like a charm. It works maaaan and quick too!!!!! January 16, 2015 I love this I used it on my entire body and it really peels your skin , it works fastest on your neck . It does stings but stinking can be mild to severe depending on where on your body you use it . But the stinging is bearable and follow the directions in the packaging! It's also good to use a scrub on your skin to speed up the peeling I love it . I'm going to get three more bottles AMAZING April 30, 2013 Let me start off by saying that I'm new to glycolic peels. I'm 17 and suffer from mild acne. I started using Proactiv and it worked amazing! But when the acne was gone, they left behind dark pigment. This glycolic acid peel lightened all my spots from dark purple to red! I've only done one peel and I am loving it. Shipping was quite fast. Delivered on the day it said it would arrive. The directions are very clear and they even include two gauze and a sample of their microdermabrasion crystals which I haven't tried yet. I'll probably use that later when I run out of Proactiv. Can't wait to see the results after a few more peels. It does sting a bit, but it's not so bad you cry out in pain. The worst part would probably be the rinsing part with baking soda. You'll hear a sizzling sound and it will burn for a few seconds. Use COOL water and PAT dry. Use a oil free moisturizer afterwards and the redness should fade after a half hour. Start with 30 seconds for the first peel if you're new and add 30 seconds to every peel you do :P

Four Star Reviews:	13% Great for cleansing and exfoliating! August 15, 2017 My aesthetician suggested I use a glycolic based face wash. I've tried many of the expensive brands and have had limited or no results. I've been using this for a week and I can see my acne purging. The only other face wash where I've had a good experience is Burt's hydrating - this is better as it will help with my acne marks. The Seller Is Really Great, Fast Responds August 10, 2017 Could See My Skin Tightening And My Blemishes Drying Up Is Just A Few Days. Unfortunately, It Left My Skin A Little Irritated. The Seller Is Really Great. Fast Responds, Very Friendly, And Helpful. I Asked For a Refund And It Was Given Immediately And Still Got To Keep The Bottle. Has No Scent, It Is Really A Good Facial Cleanser, I Just Couldn't Take The Tingling/Burning Sensation After. Still Willing To Give Their Other Products a Try. Pretty good July 22, 2017 This feels nice, but I don't notice a marked difference in my skin. Before and after. April 22, 2017 I used this cleanser morning and night for 2 months along with the super c22 toner and the retionol surge moisturizer. I have also used the derma roller a few tines unless i get my acne worse. February 16, 2017 it helps me to control acne with a single use. Doesn't make skin dry. I would n't use it often, unless i get my acne worse. I like the product very much but for my skin it ... February 15, 2017 I like the product very much but for my skin it is too rough for daily use, I do see a change for the positive, my skin had a glow if I use 2 or 3 times a week only. If used more it dries the skin.	16% YES December 28, 2016 works well as a peel, but it is very strong. try a on a skin patch first to see how your skin will react to it. Good product. Happy with it September 20, 2015 I've used the product a few times so far. I can't say that I've seen a great deal of difference. I bought it in the hopes it would help with fine lines and dark spots. So far I haven't seen any difference in those. My skin does feel softer and smoother though. And it certainly dries up any pimples I have! I haven't experienced any trouble with this. It DOES sting, and it DOES sting MORE when you rinse it with baking soda. But it's not too bad. I experience a little redness afterward. I like to use rosehip seed oil on my skin afterwards, because it's very soothing and healing. I've noticed a slight peeling in some areas for a day or two afterward- nothing crazy, similar to a mild sunburn. I wash with a soothing calendula cleanser and a little ground oatmeal to help with the peeling. That seems to work great. I do really love the free sample of microdermabrasion crystals it came with. Those work very well and make me look quite polished. I'm going to keep using it to see if those fine lines and dark spots disappear, but overall I'm happy with the product, especially for the price! Helped fade my acne scars January 24, 2015 I have been using this product to fade acne scarring. I took a selfie of my face prior to my skin journey and have used it to gage my progress. The comparison of that photo to now show I'm getting the results I wanted...fading marks. I started off applying the product for the least suggest time and I'm have been careful not to use it too often. The peels along with moisturizers have been very helpful in clearing up my skin. yeah so definitely follow directions and run a patch test... November 18, 2014 I'm a man, I don't need [this product???] to follow directions, I'm going to do the full 10 minute course right off the bat.My face was red for 2 days like I was sunburt, and is still recovering.It did help remove some dead skin.I don't take no for an answer so I'll be using it again. Full three week run down. July 30, 2014 I used it on a Saturday night for the first time, there was a good bit of stinging and burning but a fan helped with this issue, the next day I broke out horribly but within a few days the acne was pretty much gone.Week two another Saturday night, after leaving this on for a minute longer then before the stinging was the worst when actually neutralizing the peel, it was almost unbearable compared to the simple burn and sting of the peel. But no break out this time.Week three, Saturday night and I look sunburned red and my skin is really dry, removing was worse then ever and another break out was a result.But through all of the negatives, my face looks ALOT clearer then before, the acne scars of the past are gone and my face looks like its glowing. This does what its supposed to do, so if you can stand some discomfort then I would recommend using this. Skin Obsession 40% Glycolic October 6, 2013 I've used this twice so far and it seems to work well. First time, I used it for 3 minutes, second time I used it for 5 1/2 minutes. Only area on my face that got really red was corners of mouth and on each side of nostril which is what the instructions point out are a very sensitive area - so next time I will stay away from these areas & apply Vaseline to them. I find the results to be mild - peeling was minimal. Next time I use it, I'll leave on for 6 1/2- 7 minutes. I found applying it with the gauze pad the best way but wore plastic gloves so my hands wouldn't get glycolic acid on them. I probably will purchase the 70% because I have areas on my chin that I would like to correct. The 40% is good for a basic once a week peel. In the past, I've had a medium peel done and deep laser peel on my face. Also, I regularly use retinol .10% and 30% glycolic cream so my skin is used to these type of treatments.

Three Star Reviews:	5% Great smell and exfoliated nicely, but just didn't work out for me October 27, 2017 This was recommended to me by a friend. However, it did not work with my skin, it caused tiny breakouts all over my cheeks. So I had to return it because I never break out that way and this was only new product Ii was trying on my face. The smell was great and refreshing and I loved the beads, but just didn't work out for me I love the brand and use their other products October 9, 2017 This product just doesn't seem to be for me. I tried using it twice a week but it seems to irritate my rosacea a little. I love the brand and use their other products; this one just isn't as gentle as I need for my sensitive skin. Not what I was expecting... October 6, 2017 So I'm used to having my facial scub to be a bit more course. This doesn't feel like it's exfoliating my face at all. Just feels like a smooth soap. Smells decent. It was fine at first now I have big red irritated rings ... September 26, 2017 It was fine at first now I have big red irritated rings around my eyes and it burns like crazy! I purchased with the moisturizer and love the concept of the product but just didn't get ... September 20, 2017 The product is ok, I did not have the same results as all the other reviews. I purchased with the moisturizer and love the concept of the product but just didn't get the result I wanted. The pump stopped working after a few weeks as well. Three Stars August 11, 2017 Pump on bottle does not work, so I have to screw cap off each time for use.	10% My experience wasn't as good though! June 24, 2017 Not sure if it's really that helpful? I'm getting some marking from the peeled areas as time goes on, is it common? Would appreciate those who can reminder of the use direction/neutralize to remove the darker areas? My experience wasn't as good though! OK. September 8, 2016 GLYCOLIC ACID GIVES ME PIMPLES. I THINK SALICYLIC ACID IS BETTER. Works pretty well June 7, 2015 It does burn, after a few times it's not so bad. I don't peel much from it though. I know it could put on more layers and leave it on longer but I get pretty red and it hurts and my skin gets pretty irritated and sort of burned looking from the time I do so I don't want to push it. The peeling I see is tiny and minimal. I've had a peel by a pro before though and didn't peel at all. They tell each time to push the time and layers of it further.I'm not sure I'd want stronger unless I know I could hide from the public for a week.. didn't do anything? May 21, 2014 tried this out on my back to try and get rid of some scars...it really didn't do anything at all? i'm not sure if it was expired or what, but yeah..it didn't do anything! i felt a slight sting for a few minutes and then it was over. i probably wouldn't try this product again, but then again maybe i will great product-slow shipping March 21, 2014 Works great-I've had problem skin my whole life, I've tried nearly every topical treatment out there and at least ten different pills. The problem with those for me was I had to use the cream or take the pill every day, and I forget things like that really easily. I've been doing this about once a week and my skin isn't perfect, but it's improved. I'm sure if I had mostly blackheads they'd all be gone, but cystic acne like mine is a little more stubborn. Still, after only two uses I can see improvement, so I'm impressed.I gave it three stars because it arrived long after the expected arrival dates. I tracked the package online and it said "in transit" for almost two weeks, from Arizona to Georgia. Frankly, I'm not sure how that's possible, unless this company ships with the pony express, so I think there must have been some mistake with the postal service and it didn't get processed like it should have, so it probably wasn't the company's fault. I'll order it again when I run out and hope the shipping problem fixes itself. Chest acne February 16, 2014 I've suffered with really bad acne between my breasts and above them and I don't know why because I'm one of the cleanest people you'll ever meet. I can never wear anything low-cut or else I'll look like a freak. I also randomly get acne on my shoulders sometimes. I have bad acne scars between my breasts and I decided to give this a try since I'm sick of being embarrassed of my skin. This is my second week using it and my purple/reddish scars are starting to clear up! The only problem is I put some of this on my few pimples on my chest and shoulders and boy was that a mistake. It made them red and huge and worse than my skin had ever looked before. So beware if you have sensitive skin like me only use this for acne scars. Yes it does sting quite a bit when you put this on your skin, but it's definitely bearable. I would recommend for acne scars!

Two Star Reviews:	4% however I love that it has all natural ingredients and will be ... September 19, 2017 I have sensitive, combination skin and this product was not for me! however I love that it has all natural ingredients and will be trying some of their other products! Twice a day for 1 week July 10, 2017 Ive been using this product twice a day for a week hoping that i could get the same results as the other reviews ive read. It has made my skin soft and i see a slight change in size of my achne but not anything drastic, my face still has a lot of blemishes. In my pictures on the left side is the first day of using the product and the right side pictures are from a week after using. Ill continue to use it for a week or two to see if it has any changes but so far im not impressed with tbe results Chemical smell June 11, 2017 My bottle smells horrible. Not sure if it is supposed to have this strong chemical smell or not. This is the first time i have purchased a liquid exfolient so i am not really sure what its doing. Its not comparable to a sugar scrub or similar microderm abrasion scrubs which make your skin feel really smooth and exfoliated afterwards after. This was kinda expensive and i just feel like it was a waste of money. Just ok January 5, 2017 This cleanser was just ok for me. I have struggled with acne most of my life and have combination skin. I'm in my late 20s and I'm starting to get wrinkles. I felt that this does thoroughly clean your face (remove oil, makeup etc) but it dried my skin out so badly and I have used glycolic acid products in much higher concentrations without the dryness. I also didn't feel that it reduce my acne or exfoliated well. I will not repurchase. This might be great if you can get all the tiny beads/grit off ... December 30, 2016 This might be great if you can get all the tiny beads/grit off your face. I may use it in the shower but have given up using it at night by the sink to clean. Didn't work for my kind of skin November 21, 2016 This proved too be too rich for my combination-oily skin, so I started using it as a 'body wash' and it works well in that capacity. Someone else had posted they'd broken out with severe cystic acne while using it -- I did as well, but can't be sure it was actually this product that caused it -- however, since I've stopped using it as a facial wash, the acne outbreaks have stopped.	5% Proceed with extreme caution. July 6, 2017 Horrible reaction to this product, had a terrible allergic reaction and my eyes actually swelled shut. Gave 2 stars because shipping was excellent and the company in general is great. i bought this item. This didnt really help my ... September 22, 2016 i bought this item. This didnt really help my skin, it actually burned my skin so I have stop using it. Alright but not great! May 23, 2016 Alright product for the price. Did not leave my face to red but also did not feel that there was a notable change in skin texture. Not for all skin types... be warned November 13, 2013 Be very careful if you have sensitive/fair skin... I am a redhead, and I ordered this to get rid of a couple of red acne marks from when I was younger that bothered me... I had used other skin treatments before (I am a licensed esthetician and familiar with treatments.) I followed the directions to the letter, and left it on my skin for 4 minutes, and I think I may have ruined my face for years. It has been about a month since I used it, I have marks and breakouts all over my face, I hate looking in the mirror. I hope one day I can afford to go to a dermatologist to fix my face but for now it is ruined. I used to think I was handsome and now I hate my face.This may be a perfectly fine product for some people with tougher skin but I never would have bought it, and now after doing some research on how I might alleviate/fix it, I read horror stories all over the internet from people who ruined their faces with glycolic acid. If you have sensitive skin--this is absolutely not for you. Didn't work for me.. November 8, 2013 This didn't really do anything for me. I've used peels before, and this is the strongest. Compared to the TCA peel this just made my skin feel very itchy where as the TCA didn't. Both peels did nothing for my skin so next, I may try lactic or saliycylic acid. I say try it because we all don't have the same skin types. The itchiness soon after I out it on. Luckily it didn't make me break out or anything. a bit skeptical... July 10, 2012 I have been battling with cystic acne since I was 13, and nothing worked so I've decided to use this. I've used this product three times over the past few months. The first time I used it, I experienced the burning/stinging sensation, but it wasn't unbearable. Afterwards, I experienced only slight peeling, not too drastic. After 3-4 weeks, I used it again the second time, but not much happened. After the third time, some parts of my face seem to be slightly lighter, and the acne scars on my forehead seem to be gradually going away. However, my cheeks are now covered with dry and red spots, including the parts of my face that doesn't have acne scars. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen. I thought this product was supposed to diminish my acne scars and spots, not create more. Anyone else have this same problem?

One Star Reviews:	7% wanted to love it so bad September 20, 2017 I've using this for about a month I wanted to love it so bad. But it appears my skin doesn't I've seen a positive change in my complexion and small forehead acne, but this gave me breakouts like never before on my chin and they won't go away! I thought they would eventually stop but they didn't. I'm so sad because it seams to work on everyone.But I'm sure this is not for me. My best wishes to the body merry family! This product made me break out horribly. I have never had that happen from a ... September 13, 2017 This product made me break out horribly. I have never had that happen from a face wash. I was really hoping I'd live it based on all the good reviews and I've used other products by this brand, but I can't use it. Not very good. September 10, 2017 This facewash is extremely drying and full of jojoba beads. Not very good. One Star August 16, 2017 made me breakout One Star January 2, 2017 Developed cystic itchy acne all over the lower part of my face.Face would get so dry and develop little red rashes.Not sure if all these 800 people posting high reviews about this product were paid to do so.Or maybe I'm the only one who had a bad experience.I haven't had such huge cystic acne in a while.Returning it and continue with my search for something that will work for my skin. Made my skin worse November 28, 2016 After reading all the wonderful reviews I was so excited to try this out! Unfortunately, it completely strips my skin. I have combination skin and it has even left my oily t-zone flaky. I have been using it just short of a month, along with other products from this line, and have noticed no improvement or benefit. Definitely returning.	15% One Star February 27, 2017 it didn't work for me Didn't really fork for me. Spots seems to still ... February 24, 2017 Didn't really fork for me. Spots seems to still be the same after using for months. Maybe I need a higher percentage. My skin color favors Kelly Rowland. Wanted it to lighten up the dark spots on 2 of my toes. Don't buy! October 14, 2016 Didn't work at all, waste of money ! One Star August 26, 2016 Worst product ever. Burnt my face. Would NEVER BUY AGAIN March 30, 2015 Doesn't even peel! I followed the directions step by step and nothing it's like it's just water in here! Would not recommended! I have used peels in the past and this is not how they work... Not sure if mine was defective or what but I had high hopes for nothing but it worked like a 10% glycolic peel would work December 3, 2014 I thought this would peel more, but it worked like a 10% glycolic peel would work.
