I would like to use glycolic acid weekly on my knees, elbows, bum and on my scars. I would like it to be more in the gel firm as it will be easier to apply. Does anybody know what I can mix it with? Also I do not want to dilute the %

Thanks in advance!

Thank you :), I looked on the site and decided I'm going to mix 70% glycolic acid with "gelmaker EMU" to make it into a gel. Im then going to spread this over my whole body once a week and leave it on for prob about 10mins (depending on the sensation)

I am them going to use glycolic acid 70% on its own, another day of the week on my burn scars, my knees and elbows and my bum.

I am going to mix kojic acid powder into glycerin (heating it in a jar with the lid on in a pot of boiling water) and then mixing it into a 4% Hydroquinone cream (clear and smooth) and then putting it into a pump bottle to stop oxidisation. Am thinking about putting something else in there, can anybody recommend anything? I am going to use this on my scars knees and elbows as I am not trying to lighten my skin but to make it all one tone and remove scars.

I am then going to mix some glycolic acid 70% into a simple shower gel and use this at night.

I am also going to mix some glycolic acid (a tiny amount) into some emu oil and use this at night also.

Id like to use likas papaya soap in the morning (does any one know where I can get this from in the uk?)

And plain emu oil in the morning.

Does anybody have any suggestions to how I could do things better or any better ingredients?

I did want to use a higher % HQ but was finding it difficult to get some who would ship it to the uk. Buying photograde HQ and mixing it sounded to difficult to do with oxidation.

Thank you guys! Feel free to try my method. I will be posting results shortly.

You better use HQ gel and not to
Make it by yourself its hard
Dayscience.com sells high% hq gels and ships to UK

OK, I wanted to use glycolic acid as as peel that I neutralise after 10mins or so. Normally you would apply it as a liquid but as you can imagine that would be quite difficult so I thought if I made it into a gel it would be easier to apply. I will check out that site though. Thank-you!
