    glycollic acid
    Hi there,

    Just wondering... I have had many a peel on my skin in the past. All types- Lactic, glycolic tca etc... I can tolerate these on for quite a while and all strengths.

    I have purchased over eBay some glycolic acid 70% unbuffered. What does 'unbuffered'exactly mean? I didn't have anything to neutralise my skin ie- baking soda. A few hours later my skin is fine. What happens to the skin if it's not neutralised properly? I will make sure next time that I do neutralise.

    Do you think glcolic 70% is too high for me? It never mentioned to dilute it but just leave on for 2-5 minutes. It's more of a liquid then a gel.

    This is the product I have bought...

    All feedback welcomed

    Thanks

    Well if your skin is OK and not highly irritated then I would say its OK to use the 70%
