Nothing really just your regular skin care routine. I use copper products though but that's just personal preference.

 
It's best used at night time, as you in between your normal skin care rountine, so if your face gets red or irritated for the moment, it will have disappered over night, and exposure to the sun should be minimized...

 
I've heard great things about GA peels, and I'm going to try the pads version..probably a 10% to start out with b/c I am a little weary of starting with 30%. makeupartistschoice.com is where a lot of girls on here get their peels. I've also heard that when you first use these peels, your skin might "purge" causing breakouts to surface. But it's only because it goes so deep down into your skin and cleanses a lot faster than normal cleansing would. It causes the breakouts under the surface to come up..if that makes any sense! But it's not a continous thing-if you do break out when you first use a peel, it's just doing its job! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
do u think the purging will disappear overnight ... i want to try it tonight .... but .. i have to go to work tomorrow morning .. .and i don't want to show up looking like a big swollen fruit

 
is it realli nessary to buy the kits .... i just want to buy the peel ... it's cheaper that way

 
No, I don't think they'll go away overnight. It should be just like a normal breakout and take a few days (depending on how fast you heal from pimples). But you shouldn't keep breaking out, once after the first peel should be all. But it does vary from person to person I guess. I'd try doing it when you have no plans for the weekend, just a lazy weekend, and do it on a Friday night so you can see how well your skin responds.

 
My skin didn't purge at all. Okay, I looked a little "flaky" for 1 or 2 days after my first peel, but that's all. You coudl,n't tell unless you were like 2 inches from my face either.

 
how many peel would i have to do before i fade out my old acne marks?

The marks have been there for years and i've tried almost everything. I'm alternating between MUAC Lactic acid 40% and Glycolic Acid 30% peels.

I think if this doesn't work i'm just gonna be stuck with tehse marks for my whole life.
