Currently I do the regimen on my sig, morning : cleanse, differin, aloe vera, then moisturize and night : cleanse, benzaclin, aloe vera, (sometimes moisturize, depends if skins dry).

I usually do a 40% glycolic peel 1x a week (once every 7 days in simple form). I know other people on here do like 2 peels a week, and I think mine would work to clear those marks up good. I'm thinking...

Tuesday's : 50% glycolic peel

Friday's : 40% glycolic peel

They would be done no more than 2 mins or so each. What are the pros and cons of doing this?

I think after awhile your skin gets used to glycolic acid. Plus it needs time to heal! Maybe you should do a glycolic peel once a week or alternate it with a lactic acid peel, and on the other days use a cream with glycolic acid in it--i just bought the Alpha hydrox one at walgreens with 12% aha in it.

John617,
I think your skin need the recovery time of a week between peels for the full exfoliation to take place and for your skin to heal. I don't think doing them closer together is going to help. You may end up hurting your skin more than helping it. I'm no expert so its up to you just let us know how it turns out if you do try it.

Glycolic peels don't only help redmarks over time but they unclog the pores Really well and get out a lot of buildup. I do my peels for 3 - 5 minutes depending on the skins situation. Then I follow with stridex pads OR aloe vera. Really helps.
