Brazilian Peel

A week or two ago, Sephora gave away bags of deluxe samples with a $25 purchase. For one order, I chose the Beautiful Skin collection. It included a sample of Brazilian Peel, which is a 30% glycolic peel/mask. The sample syringe held enough for four peels, because I used it only on my nose. The only thing that has ever de-funked the pores on my nose was 6 months of Minocycline (which I loved, btw). I have some success with benzoyl peroxide, but I have to use it a lot, and it is so rough on my skin (it makes me look sunburned). The Brazilian Peel does a pretty good job of clearing and tightening, not a miracle, but still pretty good. The peel isn't as aggressive as I'd expected, I get no redness or peeling skin. It goes on hot (you mix it in your palm), and it does get a little itchy. It retails for $78 for four syringes, so I probably won't purchase the full-size kit, since I'd only use it for my nose and maybe the t-zone.
