Glycolic Acid Peels? Does anyone know what stores sell glycolic acid peels rather than buy them online?
Does anyone know anything about glycolic acid peels? I have started a course of 6 glycolic acid face peels (have had 2 so far). I have them done by a nurse. The first was 10% strength for about 10 minutes and the second 20% but for just 4 minutes. What I'd like to know is what kind of results I might get at the end of the course ( I know this varies) - has anyone had a course of these and were you happy with the results? I'm having the treatments as I have mild acne - I tend to get only a few red spots at any one time - my major problem though is blocked pores - I have these all over my face. My skin is smooth but the pigmentation is slightly uneven due to past blemishes. also, my skin is worse today than it has been for a while - would you expect it to get slightly worse initially, with this type of treatment? Hope someone can help - thankyou :)

How often should I use a 25% Glycolic Acid peel? I have always had slightly oily skin but this winter for some reason it is incredibly dry and flaky and I am even getting pimples for the first time! I have a wedding coming up in less than 3 weeks and want to look my best. How do I go about this? (I started using all natural products about 2 months ago, so that may contribute). Is an acid peel a good idea or not?
Glycolic Acid? I currently have been using a product that contains 8% Glycolic Acid and I really love this stuff! It works very well. However, I know that you can purchase stronger products online. In fact, I know that you can purchase the product that they use in the salon when you go for the 'acid peel' treatments. So I would like to hear from anyone who may have tried this application at home and how it worked and what you used. By the way, I'm not referring to shady back door products...I'm referring to legit products that are being sold all over the place. It's just I will pay 5 times more to get the treatment done in the salon vs paying online.
uneven pigment - photo facial? peel? Glycolic acid? What to do?

I am 38 and have very fair skin with olive undertones. Is there anything I can buy and use at home that will make a difference? I know that a photo-facial or peel would help, but I don't have the funds right now for that. What is my best low cost option? Anything tried and true? Thanks.

If there's something that I can use to make sunblock less irritating, please tell me also.
Anyone have experience with glycolic or lactic acid peels for hyperpigmented acne scars on your back or chest? I've already had one peel on my back for my hyperpigmented superficial acne scars, and I'm getting my second one this Saturday. I think she did a glycolic/lactic acid peel, and there was definitely some sloughing of skin after the first 36-48 hours. It didn't peel a whole lot, but she said this time she would do a more intense peel since I reacted so well. Only thing is, prom is the Saturday AFTER my peel, and my dress is strapless, so I don't want to have a whole bunch of gross peeling on prom. The peeling the first time only lasted about 2 days but she said that next time I get a peel it'll work better and be more aggressive. Can you please share your experiences of your chemical peels in the past, how many you had to have to fade your scars, and how much it peeled the second or third peel you received?

Acne glycolic acid peel? I have moderately bad acne. It's a lot better than it used to be, but it's still there. My mom the other day (I'm a16 year old male btw) was talking to a friend of hers who works at a salon that does facials and all those kind of things. and my mom told her about my acne problem, the lady said she could do a "glycolic acid peel" that would remove most acne and most acne scars. and mostly the only thing wrong with my face now is the scarring from previous acne, so this sounded like a darn good idea to me. I did a little research on the topic and well it said that the only downside to the facial peel is the fact that it can leave redness of the skin for a few days afterwords. Well I'm thinking about getting this done on Saturday, and Sunday is me and my girlfriend's 1 month anniversary (haha) and she is leaving for Jersey for 3 weeks after Sunday... and of course I want to look my best... if I get this treatment done on Saturday will my face look like utter crap the next day??

Hi! I have pitted scars adn I wanna have some glycolic acid peels, can you recommend me a place to do that? I am trying to find a cheaper place.. until now 50$/ session is the cheapest but considering the fact that I need about 6 sessions I would like to find something cheaper but that is still safe.. can you give me any ideas please? Thank you so much! Thank you strawberry, I wanna do that (go to a dermatologist/spa) but I want a recommendation about a lower price as money is the issue... Hi Raymond and thank you for your answer! My scars are like little holes, people usually mistake them for very large pores (actually I also have huge pores..) and the ones that bother me the most are on my cheeks. I think they are called pitted scars :). Then, I have used vinegar but tell me again what is the exact name of the one you used, maybe I didn't try the best one. I am already using retin-a but because of my other skin condition (seborrheic dermatitis) I cannot apply it on my cheeks where most of the problems are.. I already had a chemical peeling and my skin improved so so much after this one but the effects lasted 6-7 months then the skin went back to it's problems, maybe because I have very active sebaceous glands => dilated pores, bad skin..

General questions about Glycolic acid facial peel at home.? I'm planning to buy the glycolic acid to do the chemical peel at home. I'm planning to buy the 70% glycolic acid, and dilute it myself. 1. Do I just dilute it with water? 2. Can I dilute more at once and store it in the bottle for later use or should I dilute only one time use? 3. Does the regular plastic travel size cosmetic container good for storing glycolic acid? Or, should I use the glass instead? 4. I'm planning to buy the syringes for more precise dilute measurement.

Professional glycolic acid peel--at home? I recently found out that professional-grade (or so it says) acid peels are available for home use, and after ready many, many reviews of people doing it on their own, I've decided that I'd like to try it for myself (since professional peels just aren't practical for my college student lifestyle). Are there any skincare professionals or people who have used home peels such as http://www.amazon.com/Glycolic-Acid-Peel-100ml-Professional/dp/B000PR4F9K/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1201193921&sr=8-2 who can tell me how to go about it, and any other product I might need? I've heard a few things about neutralizing the skin afterwards--some people say to do it with water, and some say that you need to buy an actual neutralizer. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Glycolic Acid Peel....? I have quite a few post acne marks (red spots) all over my face, so I have been using a 30% glycolic acid peel, It does work to get rid of the spots, but a day or so after the peel I feel bumps under the skin (new pimples forming) I can't use any acne medication though cause of the sensitive skin. I only apply hyaluronic acid moisturizer (non comedogenic). The new pimples leave new red spots, so it's a a pointless process... has anyone else experienced this, if so how did you get around it? Will taking antiboitics help until my skin heals so that I can use a cleanser/acne medication again to prevent new breakouts?

differin and salicylic/glycolic acid? I went to the dermatologist because I have recently developed acne. She put me on Differin and Erythromycin (one night Differin, the next night the other). I told her I wash my face with a salicylic acid gel, then tone with a 2 % salicylic acid toner, and finally moisturize with Loreal Pure Zone step 3, which contains salicylic acid. Then I wash again with the cleanser gel at night, and once a week I do an at-home 10 % glycolic acid peel. She said all of this was OK, and I should keep doing it. But I got my Differin today and read on the package that it should not be used with glycolic or salycilic acid producst. What should I do? by the way, the differin is a topical gel, not the pills. so is the erythromycin.

Glycolic Peel "at home" ?? Hi, I'm in Europe for a while where it's legal to buy real glycolic acid in pharmacies. I'm hoping someone with experience on the subject of facial peels will answer my question. I'd like to do a glycolic peel at home. Since I can buy products between 3% and 70% glycolic acid ~ what should I start with?? I have small, faint discolorations all over my face from years of acne (no raised or indented scars though). Also, if I try to apply it evenly, there shouldn't be much risk with peeling certain areas deeper than others right? Yes, I have read quite a bit on the subject and am aware there will be stinging & redness for a full evening afterwards. Thank you for any sound advice!!
