Customer Reviews

“Very thorough, informative, and well taught.  I like how every course has a complete peel chemistry and skin assessment.  I liked how each peel is explained:  the differences, the benefits, typical results, what to watch for, what to use and why, and contraindications, and home care and follow up treatments.  Lots of great information.  I wish they taught this much information in beauty school on peels and treatments.  I learned a lot.  I look forward to viewing more courses through your company.  Thank you so much!!!!” Bonnie D.

“The educator is very clear in her direction, procedure and information. The videos being segmented is great, easy information to return to. The additions of close ups are also great to see frosting/coagulation. I love the video information with the introduction of peels, PH, Fitzpatrick scale, Glogau scale and contraindications. It was presented so well in an easy to understand way. …A great introduction into Medical grade peels, easy to understand and delivered well!” Millissa R.
