I wanted to share my story. I am 27 and a few years ago noticed that my pores and skin had become red and inflamed. I developed horrible acne and after clearing it up, had marks and hyperpigmentation from it. I went to the doctor and got microderm and photofacials regularly to help clear my skin but felt like all it did was make my skin weaker and less elastic.
After spending all of the money I still had the marks and the redness. I was diagnosed with roseacea and given prescription acid creams to help. But really nothing ended the break outs and the redness. I spent so much money on buying foundations and creams and hiding my red and brown spots.
Then I found your site. I did the 8% at home a few times and noticed tighter skin, less sagging, smaller pores and a very clean appearance. The blemishes I had on my forehead and chin disapeared almost immediately. After a few days, my skin looked pristine.
I started a new job and everyone asked me how old I was, when I told them I was 27 they said , you look 20 or 21 at the oldest. They asked me how I keep so young looking. I told them I rub sandpaper on my face, because I don't want anyone to know that your products have taken years off of my face. Really, they are super safe and the results are astonishing. There was mild peeling after I did the double peel, but no burning and the results were just way more than anything I have seen through the $500.00 photofacials or $200.00 facials that I have paid for. If you have bad skin, or aging skin, or a skin problem and think that only a doctor can help, you will feel empowered when you help yourself and your skin and have a lasting result. I bought the first peel last summer and am just ordering more since the initial results were so lasting and great!
Thank you for making it able for me to keep my skin looking good at a such an affordable price with such great quality.
My name is Doris, I am 44 and have been a smoker since my mid 20s. I was also a sunworshiper and tanning booth user most of my life. I am writing to let you know about my experience and results on my 8% TCA peels turned out.
The peels were done on my face, neck chest and hands. On 11/14/07 I did my first peel. It was my first peel ever and I do admit that when the burning first began I was nervous because I was expecting the burn to get bad. To my surprise the sensation was mild. Then after the peel my face reddened and I wait for that to dissipate which it did. It was pretty red but it faded after about 10-15 minutes.That part wasn't bad at all either.
I waited about 10 days and did a second peel, this time a the two layer process after the initial five minutes. I was so happy with the results the first time but of course there's always room for improvement. On 12/23 or 12/24 I did the second peel.
After the peeling completely stopped I noticed that the lines around my lips were gone! Completely gone after the send application! The lines from the tip of my nose to my chin are much improved. I had awful blotches on my right side of face from sun damage, those are barely noticeable now.
My makeup goes on more smoothly and I use less now and only in some areas of my face. I have been told that my skin looks great.
I also had a dark age spot under my eye that showed through my makeup, that's very faded, not very noticable at all even without makeup. As for my hands they feel less dry and the knuck area where lines that form circles around them look better. My chest looks less blothchy. I wish I had more photos to share with everyone but they came out too blurred.
I will be ordering a DPL system soon. Thank you so much for your products!
I've struggled with my skin for most of my adult life. I have spent a small fortune visiting dermatologists and estheticians to fight my hyperpigmentation and adult cystic acne. I have previously taken Accutane so things are currently under control, however my skin remained dull, scarred, and aging. I really needed to brighten and refresh my skin and that's when I stumbled on this site. Within the past four months my skin has truly been transformed as my scars have diminished and my skin has brightened. I will be 47 years old this week and I am so thankful to you for allowing me to put my best face forward.
I ordered several of your peels and have tried them all. I have to say that your TCA is awesome. The lowest level didn’t even make me peel, but did give a good result. The lines on my face are lighter and my skin feels thicker.
I saw someone I worked with 8 years ago and she said I look younger. I look younger than 8 years ago??? Then I looked at pictures and she is right!!! My freckles are faded to nothing (From the lactic peels, I think). My pores are tiny (After 5 glycolic treatments). My acne scarring is almost entirely gone. (I guess from the combo of peels) My husband even asks me to give him peels; it is keeping his crows feet away. THIS STUFF ROCKS!!!!
I also love the pro enzyme peel for immediate results. If I want to look good for an event, I do that in the morning and it works wonders without any risk of irritation.
My one warning would be to really read the materials because the glycolic does bring stuff to the surface, so don’t do it before an event. I tend to do my peels on Sunday so I peel through the week and look good by Friday.

What is happening is the brown spots are lightening, and some are peeling. There is a spot on my upper lip where I had a cold sore that has been there since July. Well, it's almost gone! I would not have trusted anyone but Makeup Artist Choice to purchase such a machine. It works.
I choose the machine because I wanted to get away from chemical peels and try a less invasive technique for skin care. Thanks, Kathy for emailing me personally regarding my concern that DPL machines might cause hyperpigmentation in African American skin, and allowing me to speak with the manufacturer directly.
And thanks for such a great product.

I just wanted to send you a note regarding your Pumpkin Exfoliating Masque. It is fantastic. It stings a little but the results are wonderful! So for all the people out there on the fence about this product, just buy it and try it! And you will never underestimate the "power of the pumkin" again!!!
Can't wait to get my Christmas gift to me.
Love, love, love, my DPL light and EVERYTHING else I have ever purchased from MUAC.
Absolutely the best, no junk, the real deal with quality support and documentation. Killer website too!

Your Aloe and Lavender is divine. I have Rosacea and extremely sensitive skin. This product has considerably improved the redness and irritation in only two weeks. I can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much for the plethora of information you provide on your site, the enclosed instructions with the order I received and for the surprise gift... I also appreciate the fast processing and shipping! But, I am especially grateful for your products, which clearly are researched,
well-thought out and obviously actually work... what a novel approach in this overloaded market of products with few to no mechanisms of action. What a pleasure this experience has been... thank you again!
Linda
Jackson, OH (Linda uses our Retinol Serum, Kathleen Mineral Makeup, Shea Butter Cleansing Bar, and Lactic Acid Peels.)
I started using your TCA 12.5 and 18% about 3 months ago. The first round of 12.5% TCA was like a good exfolliant. Then, 2 weeks later, I tried the 12.5 on my cheeks and forehead, and the 18% on my upper lip lines and the crease between my eyes. It took about 4 days to notice any peeling and then I really noticed some changes. The fine lines on my cheeks all but disappeared and the upper lip lines are noticeably reduced. My third go was even better. I am itching to try the 21%, but my schedule just hasn't allowed the 'down time' for serious peeling. So, I have been doing twice weekly lactic acid peels at 55% and 65%. I have decided that I can take my time to get to where I want this way. If not for your products I would have to spend thousands of dollars for a one time chemical peel and the down time of 8 weeks to 3 months is more than I can take.
I have to tell you that my last order was made on a Tuesday morning and I received it in Colorado on Thursday! WOW!
And Kathleen, thank you so much for all the time you gave me on the phone and e-mail with my endless questions. Where else can we get that kind of personal attention?

I am a very happy repeat customer.
I have been using the 15% Salicylic Acid and a 12% TCA peel. AMAZING results. I've spent far too much on my spa sessions, when this is the exact same product and result. My skin looks no where near its 42 years. No one believes I've been teaching 20 years. AND the samples you send hook you on something new! Thanks for providing such a great website and product descriptions are soooo helpful.

I've been using your products for several months now, and have noticed significant improvement in my skin. I'm 46 and have hormonal (from
hysterectomy and subsequent hormone flluctuations trying to get hormones right) skin problems, so I have large pores with blackheads and breakout occasionally on my chin and cheeks (where I have excessive oilyness).
I've been using the green tea soap everyeday and use 8% Beta Hydroxy serum every other day and that's improved oilyness alot. I also have been using 40% lactic acid peel about once a week.
I recently purchased the Transforming Anti-aging Mist because my skin does sometime dry out (but not very much). I also purchased the 10% retinol serum and REALLY like how that has helped more with the wrinkles around my lips.
Having "older" skin that acts more like younger skin is a real problem for me and your products have helped me more that ProActiv or anything else.
Thanks for all your help. I think my 15-year-old found your site for me and it has been SUCH a blessing!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I found your site while searching for chemical peel products. I bought a few products, but I can not say enough about the Alpha Beta Cleanser.
I have been using it for about 5 weeks and have noticed great improvement. I was always good for having a one or two pimple show up over night. However, I have not gotten ONE new pimple since using this product. It took a while for the old ones to clear up, but since they have, my skin has become clear and the little blemishes have disappeared. I am usually very skeptical about buying product online, but I will not be searching anywhere else. I have found my site. Thank you for the speedy service and for the little extra gift.

I am 27 yrs old, African American with oily & acne prone skin. For the first time after 13 years, am able to walk around without make up....i've had a problem with acne since i was 14 yrs old. I've tried over the counter medications but nothing worked. I have been using makeup foundations to cover my face that had been a victim of discoloration. A week would never pass by without having break-outs. Due to discoloration, my facial skin color became darker than the rest of my body.
I came across makeupartistschoice.com and thought i should give it a try. To be honest, if you'd find a person who'd pray at night just to have a better skin...that would be ME.
I decided to order 30% Glycolic peel and Skin Whitening Cleanser...
Day before the peel: used a AHA gentle scrub to cleanse my face
1st Day using the peel: After the peel, my skin was clear and my acne spots were almost invisible. My face was soft and i could definately see immediate results.
1 week later...2nd peel: My skin is looking better than the the first time i used the peel. I was able to walk around without make up and people are complimenting on my skin.
Results after a week: acne marks are definately fading. Skin texture is perfect and am glowing.
Unbelievable.....i wish i had pictures before i started the peel (i dont think i have ANY because i've always had makeup on and never had a picture taken without makeup).If you can define the worst skin ever ..WITH ACNE MARKS, UNEVEN SKIN TONE, DULL SKIN..u name it. This was a nightmare and am so glad i found MAKEUPARTISTSCHOICE.
Will definately recommend your products to others who've experienced what i have gone through in the past 13 yrs.
This has changed my life.....and am looking forward to the new ME.

Hi my name is Darlene and I am African American. I ordered the TCA 12.5% Peel last week. (today is 7/20/07)
First of all it only took a couple of days for the product to arrive at my home, and I thought that was a "big plus"!! I did my first
peel last Saturday morning (07/14/07) and let me tell you about my fantastic results!!!
I did my cheeks, lower jaw, and my chin. The burning sensation only lasted a few minutes, but after I used the green tea soap the burning stopped immediately. I then put some antibiotic ointment all over my face to sooth my skin. The peeling was gradual on Monday (07/16), but was in full bloom by Tuesday (07/17) and Wednesday (07/18), but it wasn't too bad at all.
Once the old skin begins to sloth off, you can see the fantastic results surfacing from the "new skin". The new skin "stings" a little with the use
of sunscreen, but it was very tolerable!!
Today is Friday (07/20) and although I don't have any more peeling, my skin looks "FANTASTIC" and it's as smooth as a baby's bottom!!! I don't have any more large open pores on my face and all of the dark blotches are all gone. I will redo my chin in a few weeks to remove the rest of the discoloration, but my chin looks a "whole lot better" now, than it did before the peel.
I went to my doctor's office on Tuesday and normally I hated looking in the mirror in the exam room because I would normally see every open pore and every dark blotch on my skin, but I "SWEAR" to you that when I looked in the mirror on Tuesday, I was so happy with how I looked!!!!!
I know that it isn't recommended to do a peel on your mouth (lips), but I did and my mouth lightened up like crazy and my lips are smooth like butter now. My lips are an even color and my colored lip gloss looks so good now!!!
My skin is so pretty now and I look a lot younger and well rested too!!! No more dark and haggard skin.
I must say that African American's and women of color can use this product safely after following all the directions and get fantastic results just like I did!!!!! And just think, I had an appointment at the spa to have a 3 session Lactic Peel for $240.00!!! I'm so glad I found your website and purchased "your product"!!!!!
Take Care,
Darlene (43, but now looks 30) - St Louis, MO
I started using your products a few months ago and have had wonderful results ....I had become seriously ill and hospitalized and suddenly my skin became awful. I tried a glycolic peel at the beautician and it was good ,so I decided to order online I have now graduated from 40 percent to 50 percent and last visit to my doctor he stated how good my skin was....Hoping the rest of me gets that good too...Thank you for your wonderful products from the bottom of my heart.....
Pauline from Florida
Hello! I just had to write to you to let you know how happy I am with the TCA 15% peel. I did my first peel about 3 1/2 weeks ago and at first did not notice much. I did one layer and didn't have any peeling. I then contacted your company and received a reply immediately. It was very helpful to be able to speak to someone who was knowledgeable. Then last week I did another peel with 2 layers. Wow! My skin started peeling after the 3rd day and the new skin is baby soft. I am 30 years old and have always had large pores, oily skin and frequent breakouts. My skin also had a very uneven tone which made me look like I didn't take care of it even though I tried everything. As of right now my skin is looking wonderful. It isn't patchy like it was before the peels. I still have a little bit of peeling left, but its obvious how great this product works.
Thank you all so much for you help and I look forward to trying more products!

Your TCA 30 kit is just great stuff. Folks at my class reunion said I looked so much younger than anyone there. I told them my "secret" right away! I'd advise anyone using this kit to go gradually, and not try the stronger recipes first.

I've been ordering from you for quite some time and love everything I've gotten so far.
I started using the DPL system as soon as I received it and, after several days, it has already faded a scar I had outside my left eye. I am really impressed. Also I can feel a difference in the texture of my skin already
Jo also uses Kathleen Pressed Mineral Makeup, Velvet Veil, Bio Peptide Serum, and 8% TCA. Thank you Jo!

Hi,
I just purchased your DPL system for my face and in only four days of 18 minute sessions, I have noticed my age spots fading and my skin texture showing signs of plumpness. At age 42, I could use this on my entire body to get rid of my other age spots and slightly visible loose skin.
Sincerely,

Acne, I hate that word. I've had acne most of my life. My acne started becoming cystic when I was in my early twenties.
I visited one of the best dermatologists in Houston. His first reaction was to put me on Accutane. This This was not an option for me.
I have been on many prescription medications. I have also used prescription topical medications. These all had adverse effects on my health. I have also tried many designer, name brand, over-the-counter, cheap, and expensive potions that promise to resolve all of my problems.
They all seemed to work for the first week or so. Then my skin would become resistant to the products. I'm not sure that's medically possible but the results would stop after the first couple of treatments. My skin is oily but VERY sensitive and many of those products would dry and irritate my skin.
 BEFORE MARCH, 2006 |  AFTER MAY 2007 |
A year or two ago, I resigned all hope and decide to "live with it". I thought it was just my lot in life to have acne, very bad acne. I dealt with it. I had to learn to be comfortable with my reality.
I was listening to a world-renowned aging expert (whatever that means) talk about skin care one day. She was speaking about exfoliation and how most women do not do enough of it. I thought to myself that I would not want to be in my fifties with wrinkles and acne due to a lack of sufficient exfoliation.
I began my search for an at-home peel kit. I truly believe that it was divine intervention that brought me to Makeup Artist's Choice. I have been doing lactic acid peels since November of 2006.
I did them twice a week the first couple of months. I now do them once a week. I have also gone through a bottle of your high potency 20% Vitamin C Serum.
I no longer have cystic acne. I have minor breakouts before my cycle which I consider normal. I have waged war on my hyper-pigmentation and scarring left by my previous acne. I know that with my continuous use of these products I will be victorious.
I would like to publicly and sincerely thank Kathleen and her staff for their awesome customer service. Their products are the best I have ever used and they are affordably priced.
THANK YOU!
Nancy Z.
Hi,
I emailed you a while back about the TCA 12.5% peel. I was reluctant to use it because of info I had read on potential problems for women of color. You gave me great information without pushing the peel. After much tribulation, I tried it on a small area. I didn’t feel any discomfort, but a few days later the area started to peel. Since then I have done the 12.5% peel several times. I have to say that for me, it’s better then the lactic acid.
I just want to tell any woman of color that this is a great peel for removing discoloration. Thanks Makeup Artist Choice.

I've been using your Photo Rejuvenation machine for about 9 weeks and am now on a maintanence schedule. I wanted to update you on my improvements. The general look and texture of my skin has changed dramatically and even my friends have commented on how much younger I look. I am 60 years old and baked in the sun for years. Thank you for offering this product for home users. I was getting IPL treatments at the spa, which was inconvenient and EXPENSIVE.

Hi, I just wanted you to know that I am a 33 yrs old and have been fighting breakouts since I have been 15 years old and your products have changed my life! In the past I would spend hundreds of dollars on high end skincare to get rid of my pimples. I've tried ProActive too, which didnt work at all. I searched the net for home peels, and stumbled onto your website. Your descriptions were fantastic and thorough so I bought the 12 1/2% TCA peel, used it, and saw a dramatic difference in my skin! It felt smoother, my pores shrunk, and my fine lines are now even finer! The thing that was a HUGE added bonus was the sample green tea bar that came with it. The first time I used it, I was SHOCKED at how clean my face felt! It actually squeeked it was so clean, and I have not had a pimple since! I tell everyone about it because this little bar of soap, (now I buy the big one), for $10, I have the cleanest, clearest skin! I feel beautiful and people comment on how I have awesome skin! Me? Have awesome skin? YIPPEE!! So thank you, thank you, thank you. You saved me money, embarrassment and aggravation in finding that miracle products that works! I have five or six different products from you and love them all!

Thank you SOOO much for providing samples. I'm absolutely loving the change in my skin since using your Green Tea Cleansing bar and 3% Beta Hydroxy Serum.

Thank you so much for your products.
I am a 41 year old mother of 4 with extensive dark melasma on my face. My first experience with melasma was after my now 14 year old daughter was born. Small dark patches appeared on my chin, cheeks and forehead. My condition grew progressively worse especially after my hysterectomy in 2001 and the introduction to hormone replacement therapy. It had taken over my face, even my eyelids and brow area were covered. I hated my face. No amount of cover up would hide the melasma. It looked like I had constant "dirty marks" which now covered 90% of my face.
Over the years, I have been to many dermatologists and have had mutliple treatments such as peels, microdermabrasion and IPL. The treatments have helped to a certain degree but financially are so costly I could not maintain a treatment schedule. One IPL treatment cost $ 350.00! The melasma is at such varying depths it would take months of various treatments to lighten.
I am so thankful that I have found your website so I can maintain and control this emotionally and physically draining condition. I just purchased the TCA 30% adjustable kit and just applied my first treatment 4 days ago. The directions were easy to follow and I have started to peel today.
To any other melasma suffers, there are treatments for our condition.
Makeup Artist Choice can help. Thank you!!
Sincerely,

Darlene Connor, Arkansas
Dear Kathie,
I recently did a TCA 12.5% peel.
I applied it for only five minutes and found that it really wasn’t enough time. Three weeks later, I did the application twice over a ten minute period, always following your instructions, and that’s when the peel really worked. The following day and that week, my skin lightly peeled. Ok, so it wasn’t the most comfortable 3-4 days of my life, but the point is that the product worked and has revealed really soft skin with slightly diminished lines.
I’m 39 years old and only have very fine lines so I saw immediate results, especially around my mouth.
Thank you for allowing me to treat myself to skin peels at home, for including really comprehensive instructions and for providing a product that actually works!

I recently received my package of 8% Beta Hydroxy and the 70% Glycolic Kit.
I have very “congested” skin and the only thing that ever helped was having Glycolic Acid peels done. I have been going to a plastic surgeons office to have the undiluted Glycolic treatments. Having it done there burned less than at salons. I was told that it was because they use a higher grade Glycolic Acid.
I was very nervous to purchase and use what I ordered. I did the treatment with 25% strength to start, and I LOVED it. I expected extreme burning, like I have experienced from lesser grade peels at salons. It felt the same as going to the doctor’s office. My skin felt smooth and clean.
I have had enough peels done to know this is as good as going to the doctor. The only difference is the kit is $83 and I always paid $90/per session at the doctors. I have already called my sister and friends to tell them about this. I will tell everyone about this product. I will recommend this product to everyone.

Hi, I happened to find your website after searching "for do it yourself "beauty help.
I am a 53 year old woman (sun worshiper) and had dryness, wrinkling and dullness on my skin. I purchased your 30% glycolic acid peel along with the copper peptide serum. I used it faithfully for 5 weeks and absolutely love the results.
The best part is, when I went for my semi-annual Botox treatment at the cosmetic surgeons office, he was blown away at the condition of my skin. When the needles are inserted for the Botox, if the skin is in bad shape, it crunches. I know thats a bit graphic, but my skin didn't show any signs of that dryness. He asked what I had been doing and I explained it to him. So if my cosmetic surgeon compliments me, I know I've done something right.
I love your great customer service and products!!
Thanks,

I did my own skin/makeup test with various lotions, primers and creams this weekend. I wanted to see how smooth my makeup would look and decided to do the test on my hands as they are dry right now. If the makeup application looks decent on crepey winter hands, it will look better on my face. Guess what? Each and every time, even using high-end primers, your DMAE Firming Fluid worked the best as a primer, giving the smoothest appearance after applying my foundation. I'm going to add this comment to Makeup Alley so more people will know about your great product. As always, thanks so much.

The Retinol is amazing stuff! It is the only product I have ever used on my face where I saw a noticeable improvement OVERNIGHT. It makes my skin GLOW. It is the first and only product that noticeably fades the dark circles under my eyes. I am also delighted with the other MUAC products I use - 8% and 12.5% TCA and 55% Lactic Acid - including the Hyaluronic Acid and Soy Fluid I am buying today so I won't run out. MUAC's Soy fluid seems to be the only one on the market with the soy is listed as the second ingredient - a great bargain, just like everything else at MUAC. The acid peels are wonderful. I use the Lactic Acid every week and the TCA (12.5% layered on top of the 8% as a primer) whenever my skin starts to look less-than-glowing. My only complaint: I wish my local Ulta would carry your products so I wouldn't have to wait for them to arrive by mail when I run out !

I've been using your pressed foundation sample (Kathleen Minerals), and blush along with the Velvet Veil. I work 11 or 12 hour days - it lasts all day. I'm finally ordering full sized foundation (the sample lasted a long time) and a brush for the blush. I also enjoy using the sin care products and doing peels whenever I have time Thanks for making this 45 year old girl look great!

Hi Kathie,
Thanks for the prompt shipment of the 12% TCA peel, 5% Beta Hyrdroxy serum.
The Beta has really done a noticeable job! I'm 37 and have always had oily skin with clogged pores and a pebbly texture, and just now I'm starting to notice little lines and dullness. I
can't believe how smooth and "bright" my skin is now. All these years with
clay masks and pore strips and nothing happened...but the Beta. I've noticed a few large
zits lately but that's just the Beta bringing nasty stuff out, and the zits go away quickly.
I used to be able to see blackheads deep in my skin, now they are clearing out. Awesome!!
I will be doing my first peel shortly for old acne scars and those little
lines, and will send you photos.
Excellent business, excellent products!

Kathleen,
I'm so happy I made the decision to purchase this item. I've used it daily for nearly two weeks and the results are great. Thank you for saving me time and money
on in-office fotofacials.

First of all, let me tell you how much I love your products ! I have used the 12.5% TCA peel once and it gave me much better results than seven professional microdermabrasion sessions I had a few years ago. I used it a second time and had even better results.
However, since my 52 year old skin has been weathered and spotted by the sun and has very large pores, I decided to switch to the 15%. The results are great. I did the 15% two weeks ago and must admit - I look great, well - make that "better" ! LOL
The brown spots are lighter, the deep creases under my eyes are getting better, the deep creases from my nose to my lips are barely noticeable and my face is much smoother. I sing your praises to everyone that mentions how less tired and happy I look.
You have excellent customer service and products. I had researched different procedures and plastic surgeons, chose one and was due to be scheduled for a face-lift, liposuction of the fat pads under my eyes, and an eyebrow lift, until my friend showed me her results from your products and gave me your website. I cancelled my appointment, saved thousands of dollars, did not have to have anesthesia, and a long down-time for recovery.
Your products are a blessing !

Hi Kathie!
I recently heard about your company through a website called Makeup Alley and I am so very glad I did! Everyone has been raving about all of your products, especially your glycolic, lactic, and TCA peels. I was extremely excited to hear this, so I went straight to your website and ordered the 40% Glycolic Acid Peel Sampler to get started and prepare my skin for the stronger peels.
I am 27 years old with fair skin and light eyes. While I stay away from the sun and tanning beds, unfortunately in my teen years, I failed to do so and now I am paying for my stupidity with dry skin, larger pores, and a few fine lines. Also, my body has been through a lot of stress after I had a really bad car accident that left me with a crushed vertebrae. I luckily came out of the whole thing walking, but it has left me with some limitations and a lot of pain. I am sure that all of the stress and pain medications have aged me faster than I should as well. I definitely feel a lot older since it happened.
After doing my first glycolic peel, I could immediately tell the difference! My skin felt much softer and it looked as if a good year was shaved off. Tonight, I just finished my 4th peel and my skin looks AMAZING! Every single one of my fine lines has vanished and I look like I'm 23 years old again! I am so ecstatic and not to mention, addicted, which is ok, since your prices are so reasonable. Why spend $100-200 per visit at the salon when I can get much better results with your products without burning a hole in my wallet?
I just ordered the 50% Glycolic Acid Peel and the 12.5% TCA Peel and I know I will be like a little kid on Christmas morning when I receive them. I will continue to purchase many of your other products as well as spread the wonderful word. Thank you so much for helping me gain back some of the confidence I felt was slipping away far too soon with each birthday! Also, thanks for the speedy delivery and the sponge I received with it! Keep up the good work!
Happy Holidays,
Jamie Barrington
Hello!
I'm 60 years old, a smoker, and have been in way too much sun. (I have pictures of me at the age of three, my mom, my aunt and cousins at the beach with a bottle of baby oil--just frying in the sun. Times were different then; we thought it was healthy!)
About twenty years ago I gave up sun, started with high octane sunscreens, and tried hundreds of Over-The-Counter and dermatologist products to try to repair the damage. None has made the difference that your TCA peel has. (Meril is using our adjustable TCA 30 kit.)
I've recently gotten other products from you and look forward even more progress. I love your products so much that I've put your web address on my address bar, that way once a month I can shop for new stuff and refills of things that are working!
Many thanks!

Hi,
I've been a loyal customer for over 5 years---my latest love is the Gly-Luronic serum---I haven't done a peel since using this and my friends are asking me quite often "oh did you do one of those peels again"---no oil--no dryness ---just perfectly balanced skin, and makeup that goes and stays on great.. I'm still using Copper at night--forever!!!!
My latest compliment was "you are kidding that you just turned 52---you must not have any stress in your life"... No sir just great products!!!!
