You should make time to see an actual Dermatologist as they could perhaps offer you a permanent solution however I can't see why this product would not help somewhat in the meanwhile.

I've had good success with the Microdelivery Peel in reducing small scars' appearance. Because it is so deeply exfoliating (without irritation) plus contains all kinds of antioxidants, this product should be good for your old acne scars and dark spots if used at least once a week regularly for a period of time. Good luck!

I'm 29 years old now, have been using this product one to two times per week for the last 9 months. I have had acne breakouts in my 20's, and this product has helped to slough off dead skin cells and clear out pores, but has also had some impact on my scars and dark spots. It isn't instantaneous and I must say that it will never work as well as going to a dermatologist and having resurfacing being done, but will help. Depending on how deep the scars and dark the spots it may not completely "remove" them, but it should help to minimize them. You'll be able to feel the difference immediately with how soft your skin feels, but it takes significantly longer for it to really remove the more "permanent" damage of acne. I probably started to see small results visibly after a month or so, and have noticed continual improvement with continual use of this product.

I don't know why it wouldn't. This product is gentle, yet effective. I cannot live without it and it makes all of my other products work so much better!

If you use it religiously, it may help with the scars. However, I am not sure this particular product works miracles. It's definitely a GREAT product but mostly so for texture. Your skin will feel and look even texture-wise. I have freckles and dark spots on my t-zone too and it did not help with these. If you are seriously looking to get rid of dark spots, I'd try PCA pigment gel (but be careful with it if you have sensitive skin). Hope this helps :)

I use this 2x a month because I have sensitive skin. I understand that you can use it every week, but I like to give my skin "breathing" time. It is just a personal preference.

Hi. I use this about 1-2 times a week and I see a difference in my skin.

I use it once a week and I get fabulous results from it.

I have combination skin and I use mine once a week. Excessive application dries my skin. Be sure to use moisturizer afterwards.

I use the microdelivery peel by Philosophy usually once or twice every week and have had great results! I wouldn't use the product daily as I think it would be way too harsh, but would recommend using it consistently at least once a week. Hope this helps... I think it is a great product!

Most people use it once or twice a week. Once a week is enough for me.

once a week

I use this product once per week and I get a fabulous result.

I use it weekly over the summer months, and skip every other week in the winter. I have been using this for about three years.

I believe the instructions say to use once a week, which is about how often I use it.

2 oz.

2 oz

This is the 2 oz.

the product description says it's the 2oz size.

try with caution. Works well on my oily to combo skin. May be a bit much for you. Loccitane makes an ultra rich face scrub you might like.

You would need to send an email to them (the Philosophy company) to confirm this or take a printout of the ingredients to your local Pharmacist and ask them... better to be safe than sorry with any product. :)

Yes, absolutely. I have rosacea and my skin is better than before.

I think this is a great product for all skin types. However, It can be a little harsh. I have combination skin, and normally have to use a lot of moisturizer following application (I recommend Philosophy's Hope in a Bottle).

Overall, I would say give this a try. The benefits are substantial--mainly fresh, smooth and healthy skin. I would also have to say that this is the best exfoliator I've ever tried. Promotes fast cell turnover.

I'm unfamiliar with rosacea, so I'm not sure what kind of skincare is appropriate for the condition.

Mine lasts for 3 to 4 months and I use it weekly (and I have done a few facials for friends with it). I have been using it for over a year now and I still love it!

The peels should be done once a week and I would guess that you get 10-12 peels out of it.....It lasts around 3 months.

I would think you'd get about 10 uses, at least, out of this kit. I use once a week; you could use it twice a week if your skin is really congested to start, but for the vast majority of us, once a week will be fine.

If you didn't get a reaction the first time you used this product then I doubt you will ever get one. I have done a facial for friends using this and some of them have had sensitive skin yet they didn't have any adverse effects from it. It is a really great product and I can't imagine that it would leave you with anything but lovely skin. :)
I always try a bit of any new cream on a small patch of skin near your jaw line, leave it for a few hours and if it's ok then proceed.

In my opinion, you should be just fine. The sugar scrub is very light and you gently rub it on your face. The acid activator is gentle but if you feel sensitivity you can simply rinse off. It is my guess that using this product will help you to reduce break-outs because you will remove dead skin that clog your pores. I find this product to be gentle on my skin. The great thing about Philosophy is that you get professional results from very gentle products. Good Luck!

I used it when I was still nursing my daughter. And after weaning it was a lifesaver because all the hormonal changes caused my skin to go nuts, this helped keep the breakouts to a minimum.

I would double check with my doctor or ask my local pharmacist but I can't imagine it would be a problem.

2 oz. The 1 oz. comes with a skin care set.

You can store this at room temperature for sure; I actually keep mine in the shower and it's kept for over a year in great shape.
