Dr Song 20% Salicylic Acid Gel Peel Review

I received this Dr Song Salicylic Acid Gel Peel for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here. 

Peels help your skin look its best. This peel helps take care of acne, acne scars, wrinkles, large pores, blackheads, oily skin, psoriasis, razor bumps and even warts. This product has a short list of ingredients including Salicylic Acid, SD40 alcohol, purified water, and propylene glycol. It is always great to know what you are applying to your skin and applying a product that contains little ingredients makes me feel a little better about what I am applying to my skin. Anyway, I was a little nervous to try the peel on my face as I have never ever used one before. I went on Amazon and on their website freedrsong.com to learn a bit more about the product and how exactly I should apply it. The company also emails you a copy of instructions on how to use the product so I recommend printing it out and saving it in the box the peel came in. After reading so many reviews I came to the conclusion that I was going to apply a small amount to my face with a cotton ball and avoid applying around my eyes and lips. I only left it on for about a minute as on the website it recommends that time amount for first time users and then I thoroughly rinsed it off. I am not going to lie, the peel did burn a little but its nothing you can't handle; just remember that we all react to things differently so what I felt you may not. Since it kept popping up on reviews that you should neutralize the peel, I used a mixture of baking soda and water on my face to neutralize it, then I rinsed it completely off and followed that by moisturizing my face with some coconut oil I had on hand. My face started to peel the next day and I was a little frightened because I wasn't accustomed to it, but the peel was doing what it was supposed to do. The peeling stopped after about three days and it revealed beautiful, soft, blackhead free skin! The process wasn't exactly pretty but the results? WOW! The company recommends you only apply the peel once in a 7 day period. This bottle contains enough product to provide you with 15-20 or more full facial peels. Also, because this peel may make your face sensitive, definitely avoid the sun on affected areas and apply sunblock and moisturizer to your face and other areas for that week to protect it. I highly recommend this product, just be sure to be careful and read ALL directions as this is a peel and can severely burn your skin if you use it improperly. 

Here is what the company has to say about the product:

Step 2: Apply a small amount with a brush or cotton ball to the area and leave on as needed. Rinse product with water and pat dry after.

Please keep in mind, these are general guidelines, and everyone’s skin is different. Peel times vary from person to person, which can only be learned through experience and patience to avoid any burns. Skin patch tests are the most accurate method and minimize risk.
