Harbour--
I haven't experience a gylcolic skin peel, however, I've had some chem experience. Basically what you are doing is using glycolic acid to remove the top couple of layers of skin to stimulate skin growth (and remove the old stuff). Glycolic acid is one of the 'smallest' alpha hydroxy acids (this would be what is referred to by most "alpha hydroxy" skin treatments). Most things of this sort can be rather effective in helping to improve damaged, 'bad' skin...however you should use care to not use these products on broken skin or more frequently then recommended by the manufacturer. There are many good products out there to help with skin issues (dependent on the area wishing to be treated). Oddly enough, I have found alot of the Mary Kay products to be very helpful in correcting my own skin problems. They have even come out with a new line of 'microderm' abrasion. Just a thought. Hope this helps.
