Has anyone else found that this has an offensive odor? The product I just received smells bad when applied to my face, but has a 2019 expiration.

No, it has a mild smell, but certainly not offensive. It's barely detectable. I usually buy mine from Whole Foods but the ones I've received via Amazon are the same. And it usually takes me about six months to get through a bottle and by then the mild odor hasn't changed.

Can you use other moisturizing products on top of this peel?

The DERMA E Overnight peel is meant to be used alone as a nighttime moisturizer which you then wash off in the morning with your regular cleansing routine. It is an exfoliate so you don’t need to put anything over it.

is this good for acne or acne scars?

Yes! With regular use skin tone becomes more radiant, pigmentation and scarring is evened and age spots are visibly diminished. It is a great option for exfoliation for acne since it isn't abrasive it won't aggravate breakouts. Another great option to use in conjunction with the Overnight Peel is Scar Gel. Scar Gel is for anything lumpy, bumpy or discolored. These are great used together! Overnight Peel can be used a couple nights a week and Scar Gel can be used everyday under your moisturizer, almost like a serum.

Can I apply this product under-eyes to resolve milia?

Warning on label specifies NOT to use near the eyes. You may have undesired skin reaction. That being said, I did because I hadn’t read that warning beforehand. It slightly burned, but only for about 3 minutes. I didn’t have to rinse it off. This doesn’t cause visible peeling. It’s to even out skin tone. Only use before bed. I had a milia, not super close to the lower lash line, that I would put this on daily then exfoliate with a scrub pad the next morning. In 2 weeks I was able to scratch away the milia. Still hurt, but at least it’s gone.
