Customer Reviews
This was very cute. I used these "World's Smallest" toys as grab bag gifts for my family at Christmas. Everyone loved them. My husband got this one and since he's a farmer, he loved it.
Very satisfied with this cutie as always!!!
Let customers speak for usfrom 1247 reviews
So quick and perfect!!
I love my World's Smallest Optimus Prime! The figure is so well detailed for the tiny size. Sits on my desk at work and hardly takes any space.
Awesome, love it
I ordered numerous Tsum Tsums from Kick Knack and received my order without a problem. They managed to keep my requests accurate and shipped promptly. Thank you!
Great addition to my son's birthday lootbags! Fast shipping and excellent customer service! Will be purchasing from Knick Knack again - a true gem of a place for hard to find items!
Just as described, an excellent collectible of one of my favorite characters of all times
Been trying to find Doorables in my area for quite some time..Not only were they in stock , they were delivered in such a timely manner..Would definitely order from Knick Knack toy shack again!!
Delivered on time and just want I wanted!
My wife collects the "Worlds Smallest" toys and she loved the new GI Joe and was thrilled to add it to her collection! We definitely plan to order from the Knick Knack Toy Shack in the future! Thanks again! 😁

The website is easy to navigate and I received my items quickly!!
My daughter absolutely loves this puppy! We ordered several things and they were all packaged very well and the shipping was very quick. We will definitely be ordering from here again!
Doll & packaging looked great, even though packaging advertised as "slightly damaged"
At Christmas our church sponsors a "giving tree" for children of families in the area who need a little extra help. The child whose tag I picked listed a "life-size doll - Jo-Jo Sliwa" as her desired toy. I never heard of Jo-Jo Sliwa, but my young granddaughter has a generic 18-inch doll (which I assumed is considered "life-size") that she loves, so I figured Jo-Jo must be like one of those and should be no problem to find. Was I wrong! Not only was Jo-Jo scarce, she was also quite a bit more pricey than my granddaughter's generic doll. None the less, a disappointed little girl on Christmas morning was not an option. As I anxiously continued my search, I was so relieved to find the elusive Jo-Jo at Knick-Knack Toy Shack, and at a much more affordable price to boot! I read positive reviews about this shop, took a chance, and had my Jo-Jo doll the next day, as promised! I would definitely recommend Knick Knack Toy Shack to on-line shoppers; my experience could not have been better. They saved the day!
This doll was sold out everywhere! I found it here and bought it! It was priced a goop bit higher than your regular stores (Walmart, Target) - in fact it was almost double. However, I wanted it and they had it! Packaged nicely and arrived on time. Thank you so much!
figures came nice and fast, and were in very good condition. definitely would buy again.
They have a great selection of collectible toys!!! I ordered Fast Flakes a series 4 Cutie Car from Shopkins collection and it came brand new and perfect!! They don't sell Cutie Cars in the store anymore so I was happy to come across Knick Knack Toy Shack!!! They have every car from all series!! Will definitely be ordering again to keep my collection growing!! Keep up the good work Knick Knack Toy Shack!!
So cute and fast delivery
Love this so much and so do my friends.
Ok so i placed an order while the item was listed as in stock. I waited a few days to check the tracking but I couldn't see where it was in transit. I had to contact Knick knacks for an update. Apparently the item sold out and they are waiting for a restock. First mistake was not contacting me immediately with an update. Second was selling me an item that isn't in stock.
I couldnt believe my eyes when i saw a micro figure version of power rangers. So awesome to have for fans of the series.
Great place to do business. Website is easy to navigate, great communication and order updates AND very reasonable shipping costs. My first purchase but it won't be my last!!
Great vintage reproduction of my original 1980s GI Joes. I'll admit I left these in the package to display only but they look great!!

Fast and efficient. Thanks for having the toy my son asked for at a reasonable price.
product came exactly as pictured!
So insanely tiny
Cute fast great
Great job at how transaction was handled in which I was notified on when it was shipped and when it arrived. Also it was very well packaged. Great Service!
Cute and small they make perfect props for Instagram toy photos. The packaging art is much better and more colorful than the first series. I love these worlds smallest Care Bears.
My son was playing at one of his great grandparent's houses and found the original bus! He loved it, but I was not willing to bring it home so I did this instead! The Bus eyes move up and down, the door opens, the stop sign pulls out, and the driver turns left to right. The little people do not come out, so they won't get lost or become a choking hazard. It's the best of all worlds for me! Love it!

Cleanup after flooding often involves removing ceilings, wallboard, insulation, flooring and other materials if they were soaked. But those materials may contain asbestos-particularly from older buildings - get it tested first.
Asbestos can cause many negative health effects.
If your home contains asbestos and any of these materials have been damaged or will be disturbed during cleanup, talk to local public health authorities, and follow these tips:
- Avoid activities that will generate dust, such as sweeping or vacuuming debris that may contain asbestos or lead.
- Only homeowners and licensed Abatement Contractors are allowed to remove asbestos containing materials.
- Removed materials should be handled while still wet or damp, double-bagged and labeled, and transported to an approved landfill.
- Wear gloves, a respirator, and disposable suit, which are all available at home centers.
For more information about asbestos, call 271-1373.

Call of the Wild: Richard Murphy's iPhone Images of Alaska
For the past few months my friend Richard Murphy has been sending me pictures taken with his iPhone.
This isn't anything new. Murphy, an award winning photojournalist and photo editor in Anchorage, Alaska, has been sharing photographs with me for years. Murphy has a great eye and has always been something of an inspiration. It was Murphy, after all, who was responsible for getting me my first newspaper job and turning me onto photojournalism.
But Murphy wasn't just sending an occasional image from the great white north. This was an onslaught. It was as if someone who has been plodding along with photography was suddenly skipping, jumping and somersaulting. And the images were extraordinary.

A balanced diet must contain carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, mineral salts and fibre. It must contain these things in the correct proportions.
- Carbohydrates: these provide a source of energy.
- Proteins: these provide a source of materials for growth and repair.
- Fats: these provide a source of energy and contain fat soluble vitamins.
- Vitamins: these are required in very small quantities to keep you healthy.
- Mineral Salts: these are required for healthy teeth, bones, muscles etc..
- Fibre: this is required to help your intestines function correctly; it is not digested.
- Balanced Diets: we must have the above items in the correct proportions.
Carbohydrates are the most important source of energy. They contain the elements Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. The first part of the name "carbo-" means that they contain Carbon. The second part of the name "-hydr-" means that they contain Hydrogen. The third part of the name "-ate-" means that they contain Oxygen. In all carbohydrates the ratio of Hydrogen atoms to Oxygen atoms is 2:1 just like water.
We obtain most of our carbohydrate in the form of starch. This is found in potato, rice, spaghetti, yams, bread and cereals. Our digestive system turns all this starch into another carbohydrate called glucose. Glucose is carried around the body in the blood and is used by our tissues as a source of energy. (See my pages on respiration and balanced chemical equations.) Any glucose in our food is absorbed without the need for digestion. We also get some of our carbohydrate in the form of sucrose; this is the sugar which we put in our tea and coffee (three heaped spoonfuls for me!). Both sucrose and glucose are sugars, but sucrose molecules are too big to get into the blood, so the digestive system turns it into glucose.
When we use glucose in tissue respiration we need Oxygen. This process produces Carbon Dioxide and water and releases energy for other processes. Now try my
starch test in the Virtual Laboratory.
Proteins are required for growth and repair. Proteins contain Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and sometimes Sulphur. Proteins are very large molecules, so they cannot get directly into our blood; they must be turned into amino-acids by the digestive system. There are over 20 different amino-acids. Our bodies can turn the amino-acids back into protein. When our cells do this they have to put the amino-acids together in the correct order. There are many millions of possible combinations or sequences of amino-acids; it is our DNA which contains the information about how to make proteins. Our cells get their amino-acids from the blood.
Proteins can also be used as a source of energy. When excess amino-acids are removed from the body the Nitrogen is excreted as a chemical called urea. The liver makes urea and the kidney puts the urea into our urine.
Like carbohydrates, fats contain the elements Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Fats are used as a source of energy: they are also stored beneath the skin helping to insulate us against the cold. Do not think that by avoiding fat in your diet you will stay thin and elegant! If you eat too much carbohydrate and protein, you will convert some of it into fat, so you will put on weight. You must balance the amount of energy containing foods with the amount of energy that you use when you take exercise.
You must have some fat in your diet because it contains fat soluble vitamins.
Vitamins are only required in very small quantities. There is no chemical similarity between these chemicals; the similarity between them is entirely biological.
- Vitamin A: good for your eyes
- Vitamin B: about 12 different chemicals.
- Vitamin C: needed for your body to repair itself.
- Vitamin D: can be made in your skin, needed for absorption of Calcium.
- Vitamin E: the nice one – reproduction?
These are also needed in small quantities, but we need more of these than we need of vitamins.
- Iron: required to make haemoglobin.
- Calcium: required for healthy teeth, bones and muscles.
- Sodium: all cells need this, especially nerve cells.
- Iodine: used to make a hormone called thyroxin.
We do not // can not digest cellulose. This is a carbohydrate used by plants to make their cell walls. It is also called roughage. If you do not eat foods materials which contain fibre you might end up with problems of the colon and rectum. The muscles of you digestive system mix food with the digestive juices and push food along the intestines by peristalsis; if there is no fibre in your diet these movements cannot work properly.
You must have carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals salts and fibre in the correct proportions. If there is not enough protein, you will not be able to grow properly and you will not be able to repair yourself i.e. wounds will not heal properly. If you do not have enough energy containing foods you will feel very tired, you will not have enough energy. If you have too much energy containing foods you will become overweight. If you think that you are overweight you might try taking more exercise to "burn off" some of the excess food which you ate at you last meal.

Centreville Old Order Amish Settlement (Centreville, Michigan, USA)
The Centreville, Michigan, Old Order Amish Settlement in St. Joseph County, Michigan, was founded in 1910 by families from Allen and Adams counties. (Grabill, Berne) near Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Later, Amish from Lagrange County, Indiana, joined these early settlers, making this the largest and oldest of the 18 Amish settlements in Michigan. This community is unique in that the five congregations of approximately 800 people are a mixture of descendants of 18th-and 19th-century immigrants from Alsace and Switzerland. Although founded by the Swiss Amish, the community fellowships closely with the large Elkhart-Lagrange, Indiana, community, less than 20 mi. (30 km.) away, with frequent exchange of ministers and sometimes sharing the same bishop oversight. For 46 years, the Centreville settlement was the only Amish community in Michigan. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s, 17 new settlements developed in the state. Fourteen of these were single-congregation communities, and only time will tell whether or not these will survive.

Here at Jezebel, we get a lot of emails. Many of them are nice, helpful emails! Quite a number, however, are totally bizarre. Below, our favorite batshit email of the week.
We get lots of emails about products, many of them strange — for some reason mannequins seem to figure prominently. This one actually refers to something we occasionally cover at Jezebel, but it's amusing nonetheless:
Dear executive,
This is Dr. Hong from FLOWER BUD SEX TOYS. I'm writing to you to ask about advertise and cooperation with your company/online store.
FLOWER BUD SEX TOYS is a sex toy and SM gear manufacturer, located in Shenzhen, China. For further information, please feel free to visit our website:
We are vendor for some world famous sex toy brands. For protecting product confidential info, we only published parts of our made products in our website, if you are interested in knowing what we can offer you, please feel free to give me a reply so that I can send you our price lists for your reference and compare.
Thank you very much for your time.
A quick trip to loveflowerbud.com reveals that, among more run-of-the-mill offerings, the site sells fake hymens — which, if you'll remember, "ooze out a liquid that look like blood not too much but just the right amount." The Flower Bud folks ask, "Is there a cheap and convenient way to become a virgin again??? There IS – Fake Hymen!!!" What a relief.

Post Office sorting facility in Fort Smith to close
Operations will move to distribution center in Northwest Arkansas
The United State Postal Service confirmed the Fort Smith mail processing and sorting facility will close. The mail-processing operation will move to the Northwest Arkansas Processing & Distribution Center in Fayetteville, beginning this weekend.
In a statement to 40/29 News, Leisa Tolliver-Gay, with USPS customer relations said, it "continues to move forward with its plan to consolidate its vast processing network as part of a larger, more comprehensive plan to reduce costs by $20 billion by 2015."
Tolliver-Gay said that the jobs will not be lost and that mail handlers and clerks will be moved to other positions.
Retail, delivery and P.O. Box services will remain the same, she said.
The list of facilities affected by this phase is available at www.usps.com/ourfuturenetwork.
Tolliver said, "the phase will involve 100 consolidations. This phase of the consolidations is projected to save $1.2 billion annually and help return the organization to long-term financial stability."

Botan Doro (The Peony Lantern): Otsuyu bewitches Ogiwara in famous ghost story
Botan Doro (The Peony Lantern): Otsuyu bewitches Ogiwara in famous ghost story
Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
The time is hundreds of years ago in old Japan when the forces of Buddhism and Shintoism were strong. Therefore, the supernatural and the real world were often connected and in the dead of night, where shadows went unseen but the feeling of coldness could be felt, people would tell ghost stories and while some were pure myths, others held grains of truth or deep mystery.
The setting for my story, which is based on Japanese ghost stories, begins in Koyasan where the local Buddhist priest was telling the story of Botan Doro (The Peony Lantern). People had been waiting ages because they knew that he could tell ghost stories with passion and the setting was very mysterious.
Fog was descending on Mount Koya and the sound of a rumbling storm led to enormous anticipation and inner-fear because the darkness of night meant that the walk home would be nervous.
Twelve people had gathered and the Buddhist priest welcomed them one by one before he began. The backdrop was also dramatic because the local graveyard was visible to the gathering place despite the closing fog.
Then he began to tell the story of Botan Doro by beckoning them even closer and this added to the suspense and feel of the occasion. He then spoke in a softly voice and told them about Ogiwara Shinnojo.
Ogiwara Shinnojo was a samurai warrior but his heart was full of woe because he was a widow. At night he felt so alone and memories of the past came back to haunt him and it appeared that he would never feel the fluttering heart of love again.
His place of abode was surrounded by the countryside and in each room you could feel emptiness and no longer could the sound of happiness be heard by locals who would visit from time to time.
Each night Ogiwara would sit on his porch and he would enter the dream world of his past on a good night. However, he mainly felt little because of daily silence all around him apart from the noises of nature, which was the only sign of real life in his world. Therefore, in time even this became like a hollow reality because the more he looked and waited for something to happen the more it seemed that nothing would happen.
Then one night, when his heart felt so low, he saw a stunning young lady with lovely long black hair and features which melted his heart. She was not alone because her loyal maid was carrying a lantern which was significant by the feature of a pony crest.
Ogiwara, despite being a samurai, was caught off guard because he did not think to ask where she came from or what she was doing in the dead of night. Instead her deep brown eyes and long hair silenced all caution and soon he was smitten by Otsuyu and she in turn could feel the passion of Ogiwara.
The Buddhist priest stated "Ogiwara was vulnerable and all logic left his soul and instead he was tempted by the flesh and firm breasts of Otsuyu." He continued "that with each night Ogiwara was being drawn into the world of the unknown but he could only see the mirror that he desired and yearned."
After a short time Ogiwara and Otsuyu became lovers after he invited her in and seduced Otsuyu. The maid was always patient and carrying the peony lantern during the nighttime. Therefore, she would just wait while Ogiwara and Otsuyu embraced in passion which went on throughout the night.
The day time now became a time of rest and sleeping for Ogiwara but he felt at peace with the world and lusted for the body and lips of Otsuyu.
Each time Ogiwara entered her when they made love he would feel more alive and his passion and love blinded him to all reality. Therefore, the heated passion and looking at her naked body drew Ogiwara into a new world which he could not see or understand.
The priest then told the listening crowd that one day "A passing neighbor was concerned about Ogiwara and when he did not respond he looked through the small whole in the wall. Immediately the old man felt sick because all he could see was Ogiwara fondling rotting flesh and this sent a shudder down his spine."
The neighbor was elderly and the sight was revolting but Ogiwara had been bewitched by the beauty of Otsuyu and because of his own broken heart he was easily fooled. The tender body and firm breasts were real to Ogiwara but little did he know that this had empowered Otsuyu and enabled her to appear like she once had been.
After this, the elderly neighbor got help from the local Buddhist priest and they both went together and chastised Ogiwara. The priest warned that his soul was in mortal danger because he was being taken to the other world and the living world must not enter this environment because untold misery would happen and he would be damned and become like her.
At first Ogiwara was in shock because all logic had left him because he was besotted by Otsuyu. However, he respected the Buddhist priest and knew that something didn't make sense but his lonely heart was weak and crying out for the feel of passion, and the warmth of a beautiful lady.
After some time all agreed and Buddhist sutras called ofuda were placed around his home because no ghost could breakthrough these sutras. The ofuda sutras were special because they had magical powers.
For a short time Ogiwara could resist but the sobbing tears of Otsuyu and the maid was breaking his heart. Ogiwara understood now that both belonged to the world of the dead but he felt that his life was like the living dead.
Despite all the warnings, and the sutras which would protect him, he could not resist their pleas because they were driving him mad with anguish and confusion. After all, since being a widow he felt nothing in his heart until Otsuyu
The Buddhist priest who was telling the story stated that "Otsuyu and the maid would cry……please meet us, please Ogiwara, we miss you and you know Otsuyu loves you…..do not listen to others for it us who care for you."
This created great pain inside the heart of Ogiwara and one night he could no longer resist their temptation and of course he yearned to touch Otsuyu all over because his mind was confused and trapped between two worlds. Therefore, he followed them and rejoined with Otsuyu and the maid.
The following day neighbors who had been distant decided to make a rare visit to see if Ogiwara was in good condition. However, it soon became apparent that he was not at home. This set off alarm bells and the Buddhist priest feared the worse and after searching endlessly, but without any luck, it dawned on the old man to search the place where the dead were buried.
After searching the graveyard they found a crypt with the name Otsuyu on it and the same crypt held a maid inside because they had both been laid to rest together. On opening the crypt they could see the peony crest and the worse was feared.
The Buddhist priest telling the story then said that "Their eyes gazed on Ogiwara because his corpse was entangled with Otsuyu for the last time but it appeared that the final minutes were full of fear judging by the face of Ogiwara." The priest continued by commenting that "After Ogiwara entered the crypt it shut by itself once he embraced Otsuyu to make love but this time she would never let him go and the last few minutes of his life were ended in a perverse and panic stricken nature."
The fog had got stronger and an owl could be heard in the graveyard close to where the Buddhist was telling the story. Then the priest told everyone to blow out the candles and that it was time to go home alone. However, he told everyone to be vigilant and to seek guidance when unsure.
With this, everybody set off home and while the Buddhist priest did not fear the dead of night and the closing fog. The others walked home nervously and were looking around often when a slight noise could be heard.
They all slept that night but it was a restless night sleep. However, in the morning they all met and thanked the Buddhist priest for telling the story.
Before they parted the priest commented that "Some ghost stories are based on myths but others have elements of truth. Therefore, never be off guard like Ogiwara because some in the spirit world can't rest because they are trapped and others are lonely and desire the weak in order to finally rest."

Back in November, I wrote about my excitement for the Hunger Games movie, and my hope that it wouldn't be a total flop or butcher the story too much.
I went to see it on Wednesday.
It was a very interesting experience for me because though I read the books, it's been a while. I only had a vague memory of the general storyline, but as I watched, the scenes came back to me like a half-remembered dream (apologies for the cliche, but that's how it felt).
I didn't like Katniss Everdeen in the book version. In fact, it's probably safe to say that I actively disliked her. I don't remember why, but it might have had something to do with her prickly personality. Katniss, as portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence, is much more likable. Possibly because the audience can't tell what she's thinking. The reaping scene where she screams, "I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!" gives me chills every time I watch it.
Peeta Mellark was probably the most Continue reading

State Drops Child Neglect Charge Against Casey
Prosecutors: Charge Was Premised On Theory Caylee Was Alive
The state has dropped its original child neglect charge against Casey Anthony, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
The neglect charge was premised on the theory that her child, Caylee Marie, was still alive. As the investigation progressed and it became clear that the evidence proved that the child was deceased, the State sought an indictment on the legally appropriate charges, the Orange-Osceola State Attorneys Office said in an e-mail.
Anthony was indicted last week on new charges, including first-degree murder. Earlier this year, Anthony was charged with child neglect when she reported her daughter, Caylee, missing.
But now that prosecutors say their investigation shows Caylee is dead, the original child neglect charge has been dropped. Anthony still faces check fraud charges.
Caylee has not been seen since June. Anthony is scheduled to be arraigned on the new charges on Oct. 28. She is being held on no bond.

Liz Bowgett
In 2002 Liz Bowgett started work as a teacher at the New City Primary in Newham, East London.
Within weeks she had volunteered to take over the organisation of the school's cycling proficiency programme.
Today that programme has grown into the New City Cycling Club. This group operates in an area with very low incomes, with widely diverse communities and an inner city environment yet it provides a wide range of cycling activities for its pupils and parents. There is an under 5s club, a range of day rides and regular holidays to the CTC Wales Festival of Cycling as well as the core cycle training programme. Children with special needs are also included in most activities.
Liz is the person who has made all that happen. She has raised the money, recruited the children and parents, organised the activities, bought the bikes and bike sheds and leads the holidays. She has qualified as a CTC Approved Cycling Instructor herself and motivated many others to act as instructors, leaders and mechanics.
New City is now a Newham Cycling Centre for Excellence and is to receive over £100,000 in support of its cycling activities.

Product Description
Advanced Treatment for Improving Skin
Salicylic Acid is the new generation of products for improving the appearance of aging skin. Dermatologists now agree that Salicylic/20 peel is a superior exfoliate that improves the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin
Being Oil Soluble, Salicylic Can Penetrate the Outer Layer of Our Skin
Salicylic can be used several times a week, because it is oil soluble. The outside layer of your skin is covered in oil, and being oil soluble, the Salicylic acid is able to penetrate this outer layer. However, under this outer most layer is the dermis, and this layer is made up of mostly water. Oil and water don't mix, and this keeps the Salicylic acid from moving down past the outer most levels of the epidermis. This is what makes it safe to use several times a week, and for some even daily.
Can Be Used More Often Than Other Peels
Salicylic/20 peel breaks down the protein bonds between the layers of skin, which is why a much quicker peel can be achieved. For acne, the Salicylic acid has several properties that make it a very effective treatment for acne. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps to immediately reduce the inflammation of the acne. Salicylic Acid Peels are effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall facial texture because it exfoliates both the skin surface and within pores. It has been found that Beta Hydroxy, Salicylic Acid is effective with as little as one-fifth the concentration typically found in products containing Glycolic Acid.
Very Effective Treatment for Acne
Salicylic acid is highly effective for acne and oily skins. It is oil-soluble and lipophilic so it penetrates sebum filled follicles and helps to unclog pores, loosen and lift out blackheads, even out skin tone, and prevent future outbreaks. Salicylic acid blends powerful skin exfoliation with skin soothing actions. It has ultraviolet absorbing properties that help to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. It can be used more frequently than the other peels without much risk for irritation.
A Safe, Controlled Peel is the Way to Go
The goal with a safe peeling regimen is to cause the skin to come off in a controlled way, with each peel taking off a few more layers of accumulated skin. With each application of the peel, the results are incremental. You should notice results within the first couple of applications, and the tone and texture of your skin will continue to improve as the layers of old skin are slowly removed to reveal new skin beneath. If you have many years of sun damage accumulated on the skin, the progress will start off slow.If you apply the peel after bathing it will penetrate more deeply as the protective oils will have been washed away, so be careful as you run more potential for causing irritation when applying.
Healthy, Beautiful Skin is not Achieved in One Night
Remember to not get frustrated…exfoliation is a process that takes some time. You are beginning your treatments with pores that are clogged with embedded dirt, dead skin cells and sebum. As you begin your treatments the sebum just under the surface will likely emerge as blemishes. This is normal. Breakouts may seem more pronounced since the acid is cleaning the pores more quickly than with regular cleansing products. Typically within the first 3 weeks, the skin begins to show improved clarity with very few breakouts. Deep cleansing and exfoliation is a 'process' which takes some time to work. After the skin has cleared, It is also important to continue weekly treatments to keep the pores from becoming clogged.

The product would have been better if the thixotrope had been increased. It is too low in viscotity and has a tendency to run.
I have been using this product for quite some time. I use the 20% peel once a week for two months at a time, taking two weeks off and my skin has never looked better. Although this isn't a very deep peel, it is a powerful product so use with caution and follow the instructions.Before using, I wash my face and wipe with alcohol. This step is very important because the peel is most effective when the skin is completely clean and free of any residue, oils, etc. Then I apply a thin layer of peel with a fan brush, moving quickly and evenly across the face, taking special care not to let the brush rest on any part of my face for too long. I leave this on for five minutes, then I rinse with cool water and baking soda to neutralize the acid. Afterwards, I pat dry gently. This peel can be very drying so moisturizing is critical. I use organic rosehip oil and I have seen wonderful results. I will always keep a bottle of this gel peel in my medicine cabinet.
This product does what it says but be very careful and be very cautious with the amount you use. Use only a small amount in the effected area only! This product WILL dry your skin out-it says so on the bottle! All and all, it does work just be VERY careful with it.
I saw this on the dr oz show,that's where I get my recommendations from.i could feel it tingle so I know it was doing it's thing. I'm 43 yrs old and Have had problem skin all my adult life I would definitely recommend this product,very reasonably priced too!
I have Asian skin. When I was young, I remember getting a dark skin pigmentation that just kept getting bigger on my forehead and two more in other areas of my face. I got it from my cousin who was staying in our house. It was contagious. I saw other people who also got this. That is why I believe Michael Jackson had the same problem. One of my family members had a pharmacy and we had a Salicylic Acid in the house. I was told that it worked for other people. I didn't know the strength but I was desperate so I went ahead and used it. It felt like I burned my skin when I applied it it hurts so much! It must have been a concentrated strength. Anyway, I only used it 2-3 times and the skin pigmentation just peeled off!! I forgot all about it until recently many years later, I am getting age spots. If this works when I was in high school I am sure it will work for me again in my age. I will also try it on my scars. I am glad I thought about it again and all these positive comments confirms my decision. Thank you everyone!
While it did shrink my pores I did not get an an all over peel like I wanted. I mainly peeled around my nose and chin. And not really a peel more like flaking. I'm not sure whether to go stronger next time or just try a different brand. Maybe the roll on had something to do with it.
This stuff saved my skin. For some background, I am a 25 year old Asian female with combo-oily skin. Throughout high school, I had problematic skin but most of my pimples were tiny pimples spread out on my forehead, temples, side of cheeks, and chin. Around 21, my skin cleared up for the most part, though I'd get a few break outs around the week of menstruation.However, about 8-9 months ago, I began breaking out again. The pimples were initially small, much like my teen years, but a month later, I began forming cystic pimples. I could have anywhere from 1-5 cystic pimples at any time. For a few months, I changed my facial cleansers, laundry detergent, tried several facial masks, Mario Badescu skin care, argan oil, and Tretinoin Gel (as prescribed from a dermatologist). Nothing worked.It was not until I purchased this salicylic peel that I saw my skin change. The first time I used it, I left it on my skin for four minutes, then put on toner. The next day, I noticed some of my smaller pimples were gone and some of my cystic pimples were drier. Nothing major. Five days later, I used the peel again, and this time I began noticing a change in the reduction of my acne. It's been about two months since I began using the peel, and I'd say 90% of my small acne is gone. The larger pimples have not necessarily stopped, however, when I first feel one under my skin, I dab the peel onto that one specific site and leave it on. That method stops the cystic acne from ever breaking skin--I can feel it if I press on the site, but I can't see it; then it goes away. My skin looks the best it has in over a year.** Just as a warning, do not overuse this peel. I now only use this product all over my face once every 1.5 to 2 weeks, otherwise my skin peels.
So as I'm maturing, I started looking into how to take better care of my face. I read a lot of good reviews on this so I decided to try it. Well first time is definitely that the most comfortable. Then I can start feeling a little tingling in my nose from the acid fumes, so I started breathing and hyperventilating thru my mouth then it started tingling in my mouth. I guess you ahve to make sure you have a good ventilation when applying this. So the next few times I'd used this, I used a small fan blowing on my side, not directly in front of me. Also, start where skin is the thickest or less sensitive, I made the mistake of starting in my nose and the liquid pooled on the side of my nsoe and really hurt! SO start at the are where your skin is the thickest or less sensitive. I usally start on the forehead, cheeks, then temple, side of my face and last one on my nose area, not freshly dipped.For the BRUSH, I did use the fan brush, but I modified mine. I think it's too long that it kinda bends when you dip and brush it on your face, also I think it's a little too wide and thick, (sorry I'm stingy and want to use as less as I can) so I trimmed the brush, made it narrower, don't cut too close to the plastic, made it less thick and cut it shorter. I noticed that with the shorter brush it was easier to apply. I just tilt the bottle and spread it a little on the brush.The next few times were more bearable, its the first 3-4 minutes that are a little uncomfortable as expected. So while waiting for the next 8 minutes, I use my alarm on my cellphone, didn't want to forget the time, Also I do something distracting while waiting for time, either, dancing, LOL, or folding laundry, or play cnady crush.RINSING, I tried the baking powder water solution and Man does that really sting!!! Water is a good neutralizer, so I just rinse in the shower, (my hair is always pulle back when I'm doint this), stick my head in and use the handheld shower head and use lukewarm water, defintely doesn't hurt as bad as the baking soda solution and gets the stinging away faster.Don't forget to apply a really good moisturized after and ALWAYS use sunscreen! I use the Hyaluronic with C & E and just Olay of Olay regenerist.Good luck!Hope this helps.
I'm an adult male who has oily and acne prone skin. I've used this several times as a traditional face peel. The roll-on applicator made it easy to use. I experienced a burning while the product is on the skin and while rinsing. That quickly subsided after drying and applying a moisturizer. Over the next week I experienced a very small amount of peeling. After several applications (a week apart) I experienced a little more peeling. I did notice that my skin was less oily than usual and slightly less prone to acne breakouts which was nice.But... what I discovered to be most amazing, and why I gave this 5 stars, was how well it works as a spot treatment for my cystic acne. Most of my acne starts deep below the surface and can take several painful days before coming to a head. Most acne medications aren't powerful enough to do anything until the acne breaks the surface. This 20% Salicylic Acid works through layers of skin to start killing the acne infection right away and often keeps it from ever coming to the surface.At first sign of acne I use this great roll-on applicator to dab a bit on that spot and leave it (no rinse). I reapply once or twice a day until the acne is gone. In the end it does leave a very dry spot which peels. Some moisturizer (intended for acne prone skin) relieves the dryness within a few days. Overall this product dramatically reduces the amount of time I suffer an acne breakout and it usually stops the acne infection before it grows into a embarrassing spectacle. I will continue to use this as an occasional all-over facial, but much more so as an acne spot treatment.This has become a staple in my medicine cabinet and my most powerful tool for managing my acne.
This thing is no joke follow the instructions or you will burn your face off. If you apply this on the right schedule your skin will look fab. I'm young so I dont have wrinkles just lines from my smile but I swear it will even take that away. It literally makes your pores so small that they dont even seem visable after a month. It keeps that fresh clean look on your face all the time. It is amazing what this stuff can do just be careful.
I was swayed by the good reviews on this peel and I've not been disappointed. I have been using this product for over a year now, and when I consistently use it (on a weekly or biweekly basis), the results are fantastic! These are the things I notice:1. Noticeable improvement in breakouts2. My skin feels much smoother...when I skip a few weeks, I notice my face feels rougher.3. More even skin toneMake sure you do the following:>Gently wipe your face with an rubbing alcohol wipe before hand (I noticed a difference when I started doing that)>Start out with just a couple of minutes, like the directions state, and work your way up. Otherwise, your peeling will be excessive!>Use a fan to blow on your face while you have the peel on. It really helps with the stinging!>Rinse rinse rinse with COLD water.
After using some online tutorials, I was well on the way to using this. I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide, so alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids (SA is a BHA) are my go-to products. Works as it should. I don't think I need anything stronger.
I've been using this product for about 1 1/2 yrs. Not only does it help with my previous sun damage but also monthly breakouts and overall texture. I have sensitive skin and am so pleased I found an economical option to the spa-grade treatments.
Instead of buying cosmetics with salicylic acid in them already, this allows me much more choice. I add it to facial creams and foundation make-up. I can add the amount I need to any brand I want. For creams I usually just hold the bottle neck firmly against the palm of my hand, quickly tip-blot the gel into my hand, and using my finger, mix it with a a bit of whatever..... There is a probably a better way, but this works for me.
This product works really good but it takes times. After I use it, it takes literally a week for my skin to stop peeling and become smooth. I have to make sure I never run out because I noticed after not using for a while then starting up again that my skin starts peeling really bad instead of consistently using and after a while the peeling isn't as bad using every week. I just bought some more. loves it
Love the roll on. It helps control how much is being applied. This works great as part of a weekly maintenance routine. I've even removed skin tags with this.
It works well and would be great if you were clumsy, shaky, or rich.For much less you can buy salicylic which is more of a bother to put on.
I applied this to my nose where my freckles are the most abundant and the most visible. Now I wear less makeup because my freckles aren't so bad anymore!
I'm sure this product works fine but it was different than what I was expecting. I've had salicylic acid roll-ons before but this one is oily and needs to be washed off after leaving on the skin for a certain amount of time. I prefer the kind that I can roll-on and leave on.
i give this five stars because it kept my face clear when i have hormonal breakouts.... it stung a little and i peeled for a couple of days but overall it is great for ance scars toooooo!!!
Always does the job! Makes my skin feel softer and it even looks younger and healthier. I use this product once a week. Just follow the directions carefully and start out slow and build up the time. A little goes a very long way.
Love the rollerball! I've purchased various high level acidic face peels via the internet for 10+ years but this is the first with a rollerball application. My Derm Dr uses a similar method but it's only for spot treatment with 2% salicylic. This works great and is easy to apply. Received a nice even peel and the administration didn't require gloves or other application items. I would purchase again in a heartbeat. Great product!
This stuff really works. Beats proactiv for sure.This s*** is NOT snake oil. It works because it gets inbetween the dead skin cells and burns off the superficial layer of skin. How long you leave it on depends on your skin type. It can leave your skin reddish and sensitive but you can see immediate results. In my own experience i recommend applying some castor oil after to leave your skin soft and help neutralize the acid.So far its the best thing i've tried for acne, so much so that i've pretty much stopped using anything else.
However, this is very strong, and I could put it on my face only for 60 seconds. Considering the price and the result, this is a fine product.
very happy with it, takes 3-4 days to peel though, maybe need stronger lol ..has made a huge difference in my dark spots!!
Finally after years and thousands of dollars I found the perfect product to reduce and cure my enlarged pores! I could kiss this vendors feet for bringing true results for my huge pores. For years I battled huge pores with little results. About all I could hope for was to keep them clean and evacuated. It was awful going around with a nose full of pores you couldn't hide or do much about. After the second treatment of three minutes the pores have completely reduced to near invisible status. I have finally found the correct product to clean and reduce the size! I could have spent thousands more at the plastic surgeons office but thanks to this acid I am finally free of embarrassing enlarged pores. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me back a clean looking face.
This product is very easy to use because of the roll-on applicator. It helps with breakouts and doesn't dry out my skin to the point that it is peeling or cracking like some of the other products. Cleared up my breakouts on my back, which is very very hard to do and I have never had much success with. I recommend it.
I use this gentle peel for clients suffering with rough skin and acne. Dries up acne lesions and jump-starts new collagen growth
This product works well but DO NOT try to use it if you don't know what you are doing. I've been getting professional peels for years, and my skin is used to the process. I know what it should feel like, and I know when it needs to come off. If you are inexperienced, you will burn your skin. If you are used to getting regular peels by a professional, you will like the results of this product.
excellent product. clears skin, even worked on psoriesis and cleared bumpy skin from elbow 100% have recommended to others . will buy again
Ok for a face but solution is very weak - I was using for tattoo removal and the solution is too weak to be effective
This stuff is great! This is my second time buying it from here and I love it. It clears up your face so well, it's amazing. I have adult acne and I have a bad habit of popping and picking at my skin, which has left me with a lot of scars. This stuff is awesome because it takes away the layers of your skin to get new skin growing, promote healthy cell growth, and with fresh skin it is acne free. If you are like me however, once you stop using this, if you have a bad habit like picking your skin then you will need to continuously use this or get better habits 🙂 only thing that I don't enjoy about this is that because it is literally getting rid of you old skin cells, you can feel a burning sensation. The sensation is pretty intense, however beauty hurts right? I am a happy buyer and I will continue to have clear skin with this product!
I bought this for my bf bc he's been struggling with acne for about 3 yeas now. we have tried just about every over the counter face wash or ointment and nothing works. after the first use, we saw a difference.
This made my skin break out MORE. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but this stuff was killer on my skin.
This product is good but definitely not professional quality. I just use it to spot treat areas. If your looking for the real deal this isn't it, but it does a decent job if used correctly.
Works decently well, but takes a while. The people claiming you put it on and next day your skin looks normal are exaggerating. I used it once a week for about 6 months, for the crummy acne scarring I have around my nose. Started in the springtime, and now my skin is looking a bit smoother and more mellow-toned. It works, and it works pretty well, but it's not a miracle product. Nothing is. I might move up to a higher acid concentration and see how that works.
Didn't work as well for me as the glycolic acid for acne and hyper-pigmentation. Ok for those with sensitive skin.
This at home peel is truly amazing!! I have suffered with acne for YEARS and years. Roughly 2 years ago I slowly started to make the switch to natural cleansers and treatments. Those worked great in clearing up my congested skin but it wasn't until I added this peel 2x month that my skin became radiant!! If I have a pimple coming on, this will either immediately reduce the size and redness or bring the infection right to the surface so that I may extract it. Be warned, this peel burns like a mother, but is so worth it!
Just as described, Works the way it should. great shipping time and good tracking. overall happy with this product, would recommend.
Works well in conjunction with other products for acne/aging skin. For me, I can typically expect to peel approximately 3 to 4 days after a 3 minute application. I do use other acne products and retinoids, so assume my skin is fairly sensitive to the product. It will sting for sure upon application, but will not be noticeable after removal of product. Overall seems like a safe adjuvant to home acne treatment.
Hmmm.. Is this thing supposed to clear my skin of dead cells and zits? If so, big time fail. It does nothing, really.There is no improvement in skin condition, I get twice as much acne AFTER using it - this is ridiculous!
After much research online and deliberation I bought this product. As advertised it does address all the problem areas pointed out. I initially started with 2 minute application on certain spots on my face followed by ample washing with cold water and moisturizing. It stung in the beginning till I got used to it. Now I apply for longer times ( t > 20 min) and while it still stings at the beginning, the sensation doesn't last long. I have had good results with the use of this peel. It has helped me with acne scars and mild pigmentation that was visible on my face. The only care one should consider is to apply sunscreen the next day after the peel and do not skip on moisturizing. I avoid this peel during winter ( dry season) and during peak summer. Apart from that, it is a good peel to start off with and advantage is even people with no experience like myself could get started and comfortable with it. Definitely recommend it !
I did notice changes after a couple of uses. Haven't used it enough to say if I really like it.
Boy this hurts. But it works. I just wanted to let people know that if they don't make it the whole 7 minutes, they do still get benefit. I rarely make it through 3 minutes. I have a very low pain tolerance. But still my skin is lovely after I wash this off. And since some people have a bad reaction, there is no reason not to start with one or two minutes. I use a q-tip to apply very carefully (I can't imagine the pain and injury if a drop of this got in my eye!). There are MANY treatments in one tiny bottle, so don't think you're 'wasting it' with only one or two minute treatments.
Can't say enough about this product. I'm about out and need to order more. My 70 y/o skin does very well with this product and I find alternating it with Glycolic Acid peel works nicely for me and helps diminish small lines and crepe type wrinkles in my aging skin. I really have enjoyed the results and the money saving of not having to visit a salon with escalating prices to get the same outcome.
I have had this for about 3 weeks and have used it twice. I haven't seen any noticeable changes in that time period.It burns after about 3 minutes.
I have combination oily/ dry skin of my t-zone. I am still a newbie but this works. I got this to slough off blackheads that won't go away from steam pore extractions---and to remove dead, dry, dull skin! I don't have acne scars or acne. I am in my early 30s with olive skin.Don't leave it on for the suggested five minutes if you are completely new to at home peels.My first time, it was burning after 30-seconds and I kept it on for only one minute. Then after rinsing in cold water and using a neutralizer, I coated my face in vitamin E. I didn't notice anything until a few days later when dry areas started peeling---blackhead and huge pores on sebum clogged nostril, that really dry part under nostril, around lips and chin, smile lines----dead skin peeled off to reveal healthy, blackhead free skin.My forehead started to get little frosted bumps that turned into pimples the first time---so I didn't repeat the treatment as instructed.Then two seasons later, when summer shifted into autumn, my skin was so dull and dry that nothing worked--masks, light scrubs, pore extractions----the nose was just dull and coated in dark enlarged pores with freckle-like blackheads from an entire summer of sebum clogged skin.I tried it again and kept it on for 3 minutes this time until frosting appeared. It just became super unbearable.This time, along with the frosting, there were varying shades --the more dead skin you have, the browner the patches will be,My laugh lines were yellowish brown and my chin and the area around my lips and nose were brown.This time, my skin started to feel dry, achy, and tight like I was wearing a mask that was tightening my face---I moisturized.After moisturizing obsessively for 3 days---it's starting to patch and peel nicely to reveal fresh, smooth, even skin without dark blackheads and enlarged pores.No acne this time. You get acne the first few times you do this---the more toxicity your skin has to purge once the dead layers come off--the bigger the post-peel breakout will be but if you keep on---it diminishes with each peel.I usually use this two days before a long weekend---it doesn't require you to hide and miss work.When there are variations of color (red, brown, yellow) on your face though it is still awkward--sometimes you will have dead skin in your hair or falling on your jacket! So definitely don't do this before a date or a special event!I wish I had gotten a lower concentration. But this works so I will use up this bottle. I also want to try different brands once I am done--not because I am unhappy but because I am new and also want to try others to compare.
Gotta hand it to skin laboratory. This is the first peel I've purchased that used a roller ball applicator & I won't do a peel any other way from now on. It seems so obvious in hindsight, but I'd never thought of rolling it on before I saw this. I have not seen other brands selling peels that roll on.In the past I always had to use a cotton ball or a brush or gauze sponge...and wear gloves to protect my hands...and find a little dish to pour it in, etc etc. now it's one step - no fuss. Very pleased!
I use this when I feel like my skin is getting clogged and murky. What I do, based on some of the reviews I read here, is apply it on my face with a cotton pad avoiding the eyes and corners of the mouth and leave it on for as long as I feel like.Yes it stings which is scary at first, but after it goes away, it does not return. Now, I can say that only because my skin isn't particularly sensitive and I have also screwed around with a lot of different products and chemicals on it before (microdermabrasion, light peels from the drugstore, glycolic acid face wash, benzoyl peroxide, atralin, etc) so my skin is used to stinging. I agree with others who said that if you are not used to harsher chemicals, that you should gradually build up to longer applications. My first time, I could only bear it for around 5 minutes, but I feel like that was mostly hype built up from knowing that it was going to sting. One time, I decided to take the risk and just left it on my face for the whole day. I didn't wind up peeling any more than I would have if I left it on for 5 minutes, but that is just my experience.As far as results, this stuff practically eliminates my pores for the first few days and then it sloughs off about a week later for me (I know that seems like a long time, but the peeling isn't really obvious). The peeling stays close to skin and is never flaky, it kind of reminds me of the texture of a peel off mask, but to a lesser degree. After peeling, I have soft, smooth and fresh looking skin.If I used it more consistently, I'm sure my skin would look even better.
if you are going to use a peel for the first time, this might be the one for you, but it was way too weak for me

May 14, 2013
Coming out of the Great Recession, the U.S. economic recovery has been among the slowest recoveries on record. As the economy has continued muddling along, highly unusual — indeed, unprecedented — monetary policy has been among the most newsworthy developments. The Federal Reserve has been intent on promoting growth, employing actions that have never occurred in the entirety of the central bank's 100 years of operation.
Here is where the Fed's stated policy measures stand today, as first announced in December 2012:
All three of the above tools are important, but the last one represents a notable break with the past. By putting forth quantifiable thresholds for unemployment and inflation, central bankers have essentially declared a willingness to communicate with more clarity and directness than is customary.
Despite the Fed's communicative stance, investors remain uncertain about the Fed's ability to adjust quickly enough when it comes time for tighter policy. Fed officials have often expressed confidence in their abilities to shift monetary policy at the right time, avoiding the pitfalls that could ensue if rates stay low for too long (as has happened in the past).
One cannot to predict whether that Fed will get the timing right. In the meantime, we lay out below a few of the commonly perceived benefits — along with some potentially negative ramifications — of the Fed's current monetary policy, along with a few thoughts on each.
On the Delaware Investments Fixed Income team, we sympathize with investors who put more emphasis on the drawbacks than they do on possible benefits (which are quite thin by comparison). On the whole, we agree that fixed income assets have become distorted in the wake of monetary policy, and that many bond investors are facing a condition in which more risk is not necessarily being met with more compensation.
However, we believe the Fed policy will influence asset prices across the fixed income landscape. And whatever trajectory those prices might take, we aim to continue following our long-held tradition of investing broadly across bond markets, putting a premium on managing risk, and conducting rigorous research. In our view, there will be little margin for error, considering today's low-yield environment and the appreciation that is already reflected in bond prices.
As we move into the coming quarters, we believe investors will be well served by keeping a close watch on the monetary policy environment and the related side effects that could influence the risk/reward relationships within investors' fixed income allocations.
Will the Fed make a graceful exit? We believe ending the asset-buying programs will be among the first steps the Fed takes when it comes time to normalize monetary policy. Presumably, the next step will involve raising the fed funds rate – interest rates charged by banks to each other for overnight loans to meet reserve requirements. How quickly will this step be taken?
It's an important question, because a too-sudden increase in rates could spur bond markets to "trade ahead" of the Fed. By way of example, here's what happened to Treasury yields in early 2004, as financial markets recovered from the prolonged softness that set in between 2001 and 2003.
March 2004 | Yield on 10-year Treasury bonds: 3.7%
April 2004 | Yield on 10-year Treasury bonds: 4.5%

New Delhi (CNN) -- UK Prime Minister David Cameron visited the site of the infamous 1919 Amritsar massacre by British troops in India on Wednesday -- but those hoping he might apologize for the atrocity were disappointed.
Cameron, the first serving British prime minister to visit Amritsar, a Sikh holy city in the northwestern state of Punjab, laid a wreath at a memorial to the hundreds killed in the massacre.
Writing in a book of condolences at the Jallianwala Bagh memorial, he described the massacre as "a deeply shameful event in British history." He added, "We must never forget what happened here."
However, he did not give a formal apology for the atrocity, which occurred while India was part of the British Empire.
A spokesman for Cameron said the British state had always described the massacre as monstrous, but that "we need to be careful about going around apologizing for things that happened 40 years before the prime minister was born."
Cameron's trip to India is focused on promoting closer trade and business links.
Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, previously visited Amritsar in 1997.
In 1920, then-cabinet minister Winston Churchill condemned the massacre as "an episode which appears to me to be without precedent or parallel in the modern history of the British Empire ... It is an extraordinary event, a monstrous event, an event which stands in singular and sinister isolation."
The atrocity occurred when a British Army general ordered troops to open fire to disperse a crowd of unarmed protesters who had gathered in Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar.
A report by a British-led committee in the wake of the massacre put the number killed at close to 400, with three to four times as many people injured. Indian observers put the number killed at more than 1,000.

How many supercars can you spot in this brief video shot on the streets of Monaco by a BMW driver enchanted by a Monotracer? It's like the world's wealthy villains decided to convene in a convention center.
For the record, the $82,000 Monotracer, with its retracting training wheels, is for people who want to limit the freedom of motorcycle riding without the safety of a typical car. As for the Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang and the Koenigsegg CXX, I wasn't sure they existed outside the Mall of the Emirates.
H/t to Gustav!
