Re: i bought the lactic acid…

@Pseudonymous

Thank you SO much for the detailed reply Paheli, you’re awesome! you seem to have enough knowledge about this to do it professionally! i’ll try contacting the seller and finding out the pH level. The reason i’m leaning towards this (or any peels from Amazon) is because Amazon credit, so I thought what the heck, why not try one from there. I was actually searching today and they have lots of different ones including glycolic, TCA, etc. I’ve been using a salicylic acid face wash for a couple of years now so I think my skin will be able to handle it…however I do plan to test it out before I apply it over my whole face. I don’t mind trying out the glycolic acid one either. I’ve used DDF’s glycolic toner for a while and loved how it made my skin feel. Thanks again for all your help!

You’re welcome! I’m happy to help. I learned what I know through my personal experience and also from reading tons of reviews/opinions online. So I’m happy to pass on the knowledge. LOL @ Amazon credit! My fiance is totally addicted to that site!

Let me ask you…what makes you choose salicylic over glycolic (salicylic is stronger than glycolic btw)? Is your skin super oily or do you have severe acne issues? I see they also have a 35% glycolic peel.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with buying peels from other sources as long as they have good reviews (which this seller seems to have) and you do your own research (ie. in this case find out the pH of the product). MUAC has the pH for all their peels listed so when you find out that info. from this seller…just compare it to MUAC’s. There numbers should not be too far apart. And yes, before doing any peels…please test a quarter sized area by your ear to make sure the skin doesn’t have a bad reaction. TCA is amazing! But only go onto that after you’ve gained some experience with peels and also have 1-2 weeks of downtime for it.
