ok this goes out to those who have glycolic acid peels done every week. i have a few questions. did your skin break out when you started? does it help you with your acne(if you have it that is) or has it made it worse? what kind of improvement do you see in your skin?

Thanks.

 
I didn't break out and now I rarely, if ever break out. Mostly only around the time of the month, you know how thoe hormones are. I'd recommend it. I started with 30% 1x a week and now I do 50% about 1x 1-2weeks. My skin is a million times better, and my acne scars have faded so much.

 
muahahaha! does he enjoy it? lol

ahhh i'm in the process of ordering some of that stuff from ebay. 30% too.

 
I use it once every 2 weeks and didn't break out when I first started. I didn't and don't have much active acne, except a pimple or two around that time of the month. I can't say if it helps acne but it surely helps fade the left over redness or discoloration from acne.

 
hey i was going to look into glycolic peels too. my skin is light brown and i get dark brown scars from acne. would it work on my skin? how do you use it? and where can i get it for cheap? :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I wish I could do glycolic peels, but since I'm relatively dark, it might be a bad idea to do them by myself at home...Either way, if you want to clear up your acne with peels, try salicylic acid peels as salicylic acid actually penetrates the pore. Glycolic acid is more appropriate if you want to see a difference in the texture of your skin, because they work well on the surface of it.

Good luck!

 
what brand is the 30% stuff? I never used GA peels before so I started out by using Avon Anew GA Peel which is 10%. I thought it´d be strong enough but actually I think my skin can handle it pretty well, it does fade acne scars but only the discoloration, the unevenness stays in some areas (like where the actual "holes" in the skin are). that´s why I´d think I´d be ok using a higher percentage too.

 
I'm a medium/light asian, and I don't have problems with it. I think you should prob test it out first, maybe on your neck or somthign just to make sure it doesn't have any adverse effect. I actually got mine from ebay but you can get it from makeupartistschoice for not too much either.

mehrunissa-- have you looked into lactic acid?

 
I bought this after Andrea said it was good, and it is, it did wonders for my skin, and it's improving very much, almost everytime I use it...

 
that´s great news! I´m thinking I`m kinda getting addicted to this stuff, I use it every 2-3 days. and now I might even want something stronger :eusa_whistle:

it´s just so nice to see a skincare product actually WORK after every use.

 
I have, and I'm still trying to find something a little weaker than 40% to start out with. If not, I guess I can always go with mandelic acid, even if it's more expensive. Thanks for the suggestion! :icon_smil

 
I didn't break out ... I don't have acne, so can't say anything there ..... my skin got smoother. I switched to Lactic Acid peels a few weeks ago to work on evening out skin tone, but again, the GA peels were smoothing my skin out. HTH

 
i love glycolic peels! why dish out the money at the salon when you can do it yourself every week for cheap and have great skin?! i hope kim sees this thread and lists the sites you can get good peels at! she knows of some good sites that sell glycolic!

 
Yeah, for once, they keep the promise of a product working as it's supposed to. I use it every other day, as it said in the paplet. I've actauuly though about what I was gonna do after it's finished:icon_scratch:...

 
i understand that many women of color have had success with mandelic acid and mama lotion. check it out...

i thought about trying it myself, but i've been using philosophy microdelivery mini peel pads (aha) every other day, and a microdermabrasion scrub weekly and have been very pleased with the results so far. if i get to a point that i feel like i'm not progressing with my current regime i'll give it a try.
