when i applies the Skin obsession 40% percent it burn on my face. do u know why?

[MrsTank1030]

@oojustice987 Do you mean a burning sensation while its on or it left a burn on your skin. It is possible that its too strong for you being 40%, but glycolics are one of the most versitile acids. If its just the sensation while it is on, that isn't uncommon just sit in front of a fan while its on. But if it left any kind of burn on your skin don't use it again & go back to the place you bought it & see what they recommend. This is when its good to have someone see your skin & do a patch test.

Have you used a 50% peel? I am using glycolic 30% and I am not getting the results quickly so I am thinking about a 50% glycolic or a TCA 15%. Any suggestions?

[MrsTank1030]

@TheGinaj I like TCA's but you have a longer down time then the glycolic and here in Oklahoma you have to go to a Dr. to have it done. I would suggest maybe switching the type of acid, I don't if you are going to a spa or not so I'm not sure how limited you are, but tell them you want more results. Your skin can get used to one treatment. It's suggested to switch between manual & chemical exfoliation so you keep seeing results longer.

Hey just wondering - do you have any advice on microdermabrasion? Is it basically the same as the acid peels? Also someone recommended I get 'light' treatment for my skin (which is going through a bit of a bad phase right now), but I'm pretty unsure about it. It seems really expensive and I don't know if it'd actually work. Thanks for the vid! :)

@themurge I am a big fan of microdermabrasions. If I had a machine I would do a tutorial. It's a longer process then a chemical peel. They basically have a wand that uses air pressure to blasts crystals & sucks them (dead skin) in one motion. I would consider going to a local esthetics school if you are concerned with the price, its usually about 1/2 price of normal salons.

Do you rinse your face with just water?

Where could you buy this yourself? and is it only 3 min for all?

[AichaBlueSky]

u have nice skin anyway without the peel - so i guess the peel makes it even more nicer! I need to peel to get rid of acne scarring

Thanks for the video & info! I am using a 30% glycolic peel. I have fair skin. How often should I use it?

[Svea83]

If i should do this myself where should i buy it and is it just called glycolic acid?

Oh and how often should i do this treatment?

[RayzaBlayz]

@MrsTank1030 where can i get this at?

[RayzaBlayz]

If you are familiar with Hydroquinone, is glycolic acid would you say just about as effective as it?
