Glycolic Acid Peel

I started out with the glycolic peel 20% in the trial size and loved it although my skin needed a higher percentage but great for first time clients. Since then I have purchased the 30% and 40% and have been loving it! I will definitely be a returning customer!

This is a perfect peel. It went on feeling smooth, the tingling wasn't uncomfortable, and I wiped it off with a wet washcloth. I could see results the very next morning - even tone, brighter skin, and smoother texture. I used a 40% on my face, and bought the sample size in case I needed to go up or down, but I should have gone with my gut and just got the regular size.

Advantages: It works, and the results are stunning for what little time I needed to wait and few dollars I had to spend.

I had done some research earlier this year on glycolic peels and opted for a less-expensive product from a different company. That product stung like a hornet's nest and left my face red for almost two hours. The next day, my skin was a little blotchy and sensitive, but I could see improvements to overall texture.

Even though I liked the KAVI site better, I figured glycolic acid is glycolic acid, and I wouldn't pay a premium for nicer marketing. But, I did some thinking a few weeks ago and figured a spa treatment wouldn't do to my face what that first glycolic peel did, and for $15, I'd try a sample of the KAVI glycolic peel to see if there was a difference. Well, I am here to tell you the difference is pretty big. The 40% did sting, but it had a ceiling to it (like a pain limiter), and my face wasn't red for longer 10 minutes afterwards, and as I expected, no blotchiness the next day, only smooth, bright skin. The product itself was also creamy like a gel, not watery like the other company's peel. My husband's comparison was moonshine made in a tub vs a single blend scotch in a bottle. They'll both get you drunk, but one does a gentler job of it.

Honestly, for a little more money, I feel far more comfortable putting KAVI products on my face than a no-brand Internet alternative. Just thought I'd share my experience with anyone else who doesn't want to throw their money away if they're not sure of what they're getting.

Advantages: Quality.. not just acid in a bottle, but a complete spa-like experience.

Disadvantages: You have to pay more to get more.
