HELLO! So I never did a peel before and I tried retin a with so much success I was so happy.But now I would like to try glycolic or lactic peel and I'm a little scared. So could you advise me:which one should I choose?30%,60%.. and your experience with it... thanks a lot:rolleyes:
I've used both and I must say that I was very impressed with them both. I used 30% glycolic acid and it made my skin incredibly smooth and soft. It got rid of little moles that were forming.
Lactic acid was 40% and was also very good. It is more for persons with sensative skin.
If I had to choose it would be the glycolic only because its slightly stronger. Hope you know it is a 6-8 week regimen, you will see results earlier but it was the recommended time frame to use for full results.
Happy peeling!
Mistyjane, depending on your skin's tolerance level as both are great. If you have sensitive skin, then perhaps try lactic acid or low strenth glycolic. Start with a low percentage first, and over time work your way up to stronger strengths as your skin builds tolerance. Use a pH balancer to help aide skin irritation after using a peel.
OK thanks everybody for answering!! I've already bought lactic acid 30%! GG I know that I should've start with a lower percentage but you know I live in france and I went on Amazon yesterday it was there with free shipping!! I was so happy to see that I wouldn't have to pay a lot for the shipping charges that I ordered without thinking twice!! so I will have it here in like 10 days.But I ordered only two of 30ml is it enough to last 6-8 weeks?IF not I have to order again before free shipping doesn't apply anymore!! What do you think?
30% is good. For my arms I used 50%, yet the price was nice. Which brand did you get? Free shipping sounds nice, I'll have to get another myself.Quote:

I took this one :the perfect peel solution I hope it is good if there is something wrong you can be sure I'm going to choose it... :oQuote:

With Glycolic acid, start with 10%, then work your way up. :)
Thank you punkchic.I'm still waiting for my order to arrive here in france. I took lactic because someone said here in an old thread that it actually lightens a little... I hope so!!
What is the price range for the Perfect Peel Solution? Yeah, I also noticed that my arms became slightly lighter from using lactic acid peels regularly. It isn't a major difference, but it is really noticeable.
Hey! For the price it was like 15$ I bougth 2 and had free shipping I hope it works! But it is still somewhere on the earth... 10 days is very long. Now I'm using fair and white exclusive gel and A3 lemon brightening on my face and just A3 lemon on my body.I hope it will lighten my back a little...Quote:

Right now I'm on the Nadinola and I have to say people were right about it as it is lightening my skin so far and it's been about a week. My f&w exclusive gell is still sitting on my shelf, but I plan to use sometime in Feb.Quote:

I don't know if HT26 is lightening me you know I use in combo with F&W exclusive gel and a3 lemon so I don't know if it is just HT26 or the combination of all. I'm happy because I see a little improvement to my skin tone everyday:D. Also I use F&W with vitamin c I don't think it does change a lot but my face is bright and I peel also... Hope it will give me real lightening...
Well, we all have to stick together and nothing wrong with looking a little extracute ;) I agree so prince charming will do a double take.Quote:

Waiting... By the way,today was my first day with my mixed up lotion.Feels okay.Lets see how my skin shouts after 10-18days.
2ndly... I saw retin a in form of pomades/tubes.Is it the same thing everyone is using?
I am sorry to hear this but it is his loss, at first it feels bad but been single is good too for a bit;) get it you to focus on yourself.Quote:
