Sooo ive used the 12.5% TCA acid peel a couple of times and its been fine on my skin, but i want to try something more stronger now.

TCA is stronger than glycolic, lactic, and salicylic.
With the 12.5%, what's the most number of layers you've been able to do? Also, what's the most amount of time you've been able to keep it on for?
By acne scars, do you mean hyperpigmentation?

Oh is it really stronger lol :/ It doesnt seem to be its been ok on my skin BUT it never frosts..I do about 3 layers &i keep it on for about 5-7mins
Yehh id say its hyperpigmentation
Re: TCA acid peel
Based on what you wrote....sure, you can move upto 15% (or even 18% if you're really confidant). I've read reviews on line before where people have tougher skin than others can tolerate 12.5% with no issues.
Are you using Retin A or hydroquinone? If not then you may want to considering incorporating them into your routine (especially spot treatment with hydroquinone for the hyperpigmentation). The RA will also get the peel to penetrate deeper into the skin (hence making it "stronger").

Re: TCA acid peel
^ As Deeba already mentioned in the other post, please do a search on peels on the forum. There have been TONS of information written on this already. Once you've read all the threads, if you have any questions that have not been answered there, please feel free to ask. :)
