I saw a client's skin react badly to a popular peel at a trade show in Chicago.
It was a demo booth, and they used a 30% glycolic formula on a client who said she had sensitive skin. Her face turned bright red and started stinging within two minutes. Do you guys still trust those quick demo peels on strangers?

Forget trusting the peel, I don't trust the person applying it. Those demo techs are often salespeople with minimal training, not actual estheticians. They're pushing product, not doing a real skin consult. That client's reaction was a guaranteed outcome they just ignored to make a sale. The whole setup is designed for profit, not safety.

You're right about the "profit, not safety" part, I used to think those demos were harmless.

That whole demo setup is a disaster waiting to happen. They never do a proper patch test behind the ear or jawline first, which is basic safety for any new product. A 30% acid on sensitive skin without any real history is just asking for that exact reaction. Honestly, I wouldn't let someone at a busy booth touch my face with a ten-foot pole. Save the experimenting for a real appointment where someone actually knows your skin.
