"Looking at this ingredient list though, there's definitely a lot of citrus extracts which can also be irritating to the skin. [...] Definitely not the best for anyone who has really really sensitive skin. However, I do feel like this formula is far superior to the stronger formula that has more irritating agents in it. [...] In my personal opinion though, there are other peels out there that have superior ingredient lists and for a much lower price point."

"Let your skin dry down for at least 2 minutes before you go in with treatment number two, and this is like the neutralizer. This will bring your skin's pH back to where it should be. Plus, there's other calming and soothing ingredients in this treatment as well to really nourish the skin and to help soothe it, and it's lovely. I just really love these so much. [...] This would be the first exfoliant that I would purchase to start in my collection."

"These are meant to be used daily, but I don't always use them daily because of course I want to use other actives in my [...] skincare routine. So usually I will use this maybe once a week on a Sunday, but then sometimes depending on if I have a lot of discoloration or texture, I might use this every day for one week straight or maybe four days in a row. It just depends. I really love the ultra gentle because these really are super gentle."

"You guys know that I love this. And I also really enjoy the universal strength as well. But I tend to use the gentle the most because I can be the most consistent with this. So if there's a week where I want to use this maybe three or four times, I can. I do not experience irritation with this one and I love the results that I get from the gentle. Now there is an extra strength and that one is no joke. So depending on skin sensitivity, we have three options."

"Different from the universal, there's chamomile in here and there's a lot of other calming and soothing ingredients to help accommodate those that have sensitive skin. There's also three AHAs in this one which is all in the first peel and the second treatment is basically a neutralizer so it's going to bring your skin's pH back to where it should be plus it's got additional anti-aging and soothing ingredients. When my skin is compromised or it's super dry and tight I will use this one."

"This still did a good job, I just felt like my skin didn't look and feel the same as the universal and the extra strength. But if you want something that is more gentle, something that you can use maybe more often, then I really do recommend it. You get two pads, so this is the neutralizer, the second pad is the neutralizer to bring the pH back to that normal level, and then the first one is to exfoliate. It has those AHAs and there's a lot of other ingredients in it as well."

"I have used some version of these peel pads for years. They have the gentle sort of the normal and then the extra strength. I wanted to put the ultra gentle ones in this dermstore kit because I feel like that's going to be most accessible for the widest variety of skin types. This has really gentle exfoliating acids and it's a two-step peel process."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
