i started with 8%, then moved to 15 and then 20. always start at low unless u r going to a professional. with 40% u’ll have a long down time n won’t b able to go out for 1-2 weeks esp when it starts to scale.

It took you upto 2 WEEKS to “heal” from 40% glycolic?

You must have super sensitive skin! How long did you leave it on for?

Usually with 40%…I can now leave it on for 5-6 minutes and my face stays pinkish for like 24 hours…but I never get any frosting so there’s no downtime. Now I did a 12.5 TCA over Christmas break…2 layers of that frosted my face and that took about a week to heal.
