    I'm planning on using 88% lactid acid 150ml and a alpha arbutin lotion or kojic acid lotion or something similar to that. The guy over at >REMOVED< achieved amazing results with all natural products and he even had the pics to prove it and he was african american.

    Hi, I don't know much about peels but 88% is that not too strong?

    Best of luck

    Yes 88% IS very much but if weezing has already used lactic peel (40 to 50) in the past she may be able to handle 60 to 70%.
    I'm only using 35% twice a week but now I do it weekly cause with the mequinol/retin a it's just unbearable.
    But I think it's important to use it only once a week for such a high percentage.:)

    Yes but if you read carefully how to use the peel they say you can use the 2.You just need to not put retin a or any acid on the skin 24h before and after doing peel.

    Lol the peel is from retin a, it is only dead skin.
    You get peels with mono anyway but retin a speeds up the peeling.

    I am all covered up all the time but now even my face is peeling lol. Yes mono is not easy, when I will be done? I don't know in a year I hope

    Lol no, I can stop now if I want. It only get very noticeable when I apply retin a, otherwise it will peel but not that bad, and if I apply moisturiser it is not noticeable.
    I have stopped using retin a, and I am moisturising like crazy, as I have a party on Saturday and want to look without extra hanging skin if I can help it lol

    The thing is the more you peel the faster the results, that why I got so excited and took pictures, I showed my sister she was horrified just like you lol

    I have used 0.01% and that was strong enough for me, I would say get the lowest strength you can, see how your skin like it first then you can go up later.

    You have to use it at night only, retin a and sun is no no, after you apply it to your skin leave it for one hour before applying your product on top, you only need pea size no more.
