I recall reading on here that glycolic acid might not be suitable for Asian skin.

But I can't seem to find a thread.

I'm on Retin-A micro right now.

But I tried out a 10% glycolic peel at morning. Now my face is red and irritated.


Should I continue?

I did it because I could see a sudden sprout of acne coming along my chin. The glycolic acid with the retin a micro seemed to have stopped it from becoming major.

And how often do you suggest I use glycolic acid. The research papers that I looked up didn't suggest everyday. But they said that glycolic acid was fine for Asian skin.

Are you using Retin-A Micro only at night?

If you want to continue using Glycolic Acid, I'd suggest using it every other day.

Only at night.

Actually, now my skin seems to have improved.

But I think I will alternate nights.

Of course it is suitable for Asian skin....
