    i would love to get rid of dark spots such as freckles and also get rid of acne, so i was particularly interested in glycolic acid peel which appears to fix both :)

    neostrata glycolic treatment peel is highly recommended. loads of reviews easy to use and the do a lot of training with so any stockist should be able to talk you through it

    This company have great products, I use them myself. Please make sure to start at the lightest, follow the instructions correctly and ALWAYS use sunscreen daily after doing peels. The lightening serum would also be good for your hyper-pigmentation.

    You won't actually peel from these lactic or glycolic home peels, although the name gives that impression, you may however experience some flaking depending on your skins condition.The results can be seen over a period of time, you will need to do them at six weekly sessions...a break then start another six sessions.

    TCA peels are the ones were you peel like a snake afterwards....these are NOT recommended for home use, trust me they are extremely strong and in the wrong hands can be extremely damaging.

    Best to go slow, it takes time to get good results but it's worth the wait.
