Glycolic Peel

*Has anyone tried it? I wanted to order this online. Does anyone know where I can get it from i.e. someone who has orderd it online? I wanted it a bit stronger then the first level (50%). Does it work, is it effective?

Or, is there any other peel that is good enough and can be done at home? *

Re: Glycolic Peel

50% :@ that's going to be a bit too much...i think.
i have been using a glycolic acid face wash that has 5% glycolic in it and it works wonderful. i have been using it for 6 months, and use it twice a day.

Re: Glycolic Peel

^what differences did usee?

Re: Glycolic Peel

helped with break out. my skin doesn't look dull anymore because it is constantly helping with taking off dead skin cells. but since it's only 5% it doesn't over do it, and i don't end up with red raw skin or anything.

Re: Glycolic Peel

I have blemishes/ acne scars thats why I wanted it to be a bit strong. by the way which face wash do you use Yanzala and where did you get it from?

Re: Glycolic Peel

Try the Ren glycolactic mask it's great

Re: Glycolic Peel

:O

ive got that on right now...love it and it smells great!

Re: Glycolic Peel

I have that, I wanted something stronger though...

Re: Glycolic Peel

And any good detoxifying/ deep cleansing peel off masks anyone knows of?

Re: Glycolic Peel

Ummmmmmmm...50% to start with is wayyyyyyyyy too much. You might end up raw, red and will definitely flake and peel.

Start with a 30% and build your tolerance that way. You can do glycolic for exfoliation, salicylic for acne, lactic acid is good for scar removal.

There are many many types but the most important thing about a peel is sunscreen.

No sunscreen will not only reverse your results but will make things worse at times.

Re: Glycolic Peel

I can dilute it and make it 25%...but where do i get it from? If this is a bit complicated then I don't mind using a face wash for the same purpose...does anyone know of any face washes/ or peel off masks etc?

u can buy online

Re: Glycolic Peel

I use the one by DDF. I bought it from sephora. I think it great for that constant care. You would only use the 30% or 50% one once in few months but 5% can be used twice daily.
I use mine with sephora's face brush it exfoliate what ever dead skin glycolic acid loosen up. I don't need to use typical exfoliants anymore.

Re: Glycolic Peel

I was thinking of getting the one from DermaDR. its a creme cleanser and has 10% glycolic and since I have oily skin, i have noticed that the creme cleansers don't really make the oil go away and I personally don't feel that my face is clean unless it feels dry...so I am still a bit confused.

Re: Glycolic Peel

Recently I’ve been using 2 different products with Glycolic Acid.

The Brazilion peel (once a week for 4 weeks is what I have done so far, might order more).

And the olay regenerist thermal mini peel (you can use it once a day)

Initially I didn’t use regenerist peel every day but once I noticed how well it was working I started using it daily.

I think both products have helped with lightening the blemishes plus getting rid of dead skin/black heads.

Re: Glycolic Peel

does everyone need glycolic peel? if so suggest something for beginners please?

Re: Glycolic Peel

I don't think that everyone needs a peel unless you have acne/scars/blemishes etc...and from what i researched the beginners one is either the 25% one or the 35% one...

Re: Glycolic Peel

^can you recommend any good peels for beginners?

Re: Glycolic Peel

^start with a glycolic acid face wash.

Re: Glycolic Peel

If you really want to start with the peel then you should go for the the one that is the lowest of all i.e. 25%..and then go for the stronger one...because it has a stingy feeling.

Other wise philosophy is right start of with a glycolic or salicylic face wash...the one that I am thinking of getting for myself is Derma Doctor's Ain't Mishbehaving because it has 3% salicylic acid and 10% glycolic good for acne/blemishes. but its a creme wash and I have not had a good experience with creme washes till date so lets see.
