Slightly stronger effect than the 40%, and I've yet to work up to more than three minutes before the stinging gets to be more than I can stand. I can smell the lactic acid stink a lot clearer with thi...Read more

I bumped up from the very gentle mandelic peel to the 55% LA peel (probably dumb) but my skin tolerated it well. To really get results, I need to consistently use this every 5-7 days. I had previously...Read more

I just bumped up to the 55% Lactic Acid from the 40% as I am trying to fight some age/sun spots that are not going away. I used the 40% intermittently and it helped but not enough. I will try to be co...Read more

I started out with the lighter lactic acid peel from MUAC and I prefer that one as it's not as harsh on my skin, but both work pretty good. I now use the lactic peels on a biweekly basis to maintain ...Read more

Ok, I love MUAC. But this peel is a no-go for me. I've used it a handful of times, careful with the timing to avoid any burns and each time I've gotten horrible breakouts following. Yes, I understand ...Read more

I used this peel for several years in both 40 and 55% strengths. While it works I had to be extremely careful of burns. I assumed this was normal and stuck with it as I read other peels were "worse". ...Read more
