Has anyone ever used anything like this, and, if so, were you happy with the results?

Like me, are you thinking about trying one but bamboozled by the percentages and whether or not you should be using salicylic, lactic or glycolic acid?

I've dry skin with a bit of rosacea and have a few old spot scars I want to get rid of for once and all. My budget won't stretch to having something like this done by a professional hence the investigation of kits (consisting of the peel, brush and neutraliser). Am I even a suitable candidate for something like this?

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure chemical peels are bad if you have rosacea.

This is from a microdermabrasion site:

" Micro dermabrasion is not the only bad treatment for rosacea sufferers. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing commonly used to even out skin texture, unclog pores, help acne and erase wrinkles is very dangerous for rosacea patients. The same applies to chemical peels and any kind of facials. Mud masks and pore suction products can also cause further damage to micro blood vessels."

Thanks for the links-very helpful. You've certainly given me food for thought! The strongest exfoliator I'll use is Clinique's clarifying lotion for sensitive skin!
