Ok My red marks aren't THAT horrible I have a bunch of light pink ones on my cheeks, chin, and very few on my forehead..I don't really have that many dark ones.. and I've been trying Jessica's toothbrush idea for a week... and they are fading..and my skin is getting better... but I kind of just want to do all I can for it..ya know? After seeing such great results for this peel I thought about trying it.. but the fact it says only one minute freaks me out.. HOW POWERFUL IS THIS STUFF? Like if I leave it on for an extra second will my face fall off? I have somewhat sensitive skin too..And I heard something about baking soda needed.. do you exfoliate with baking soda right afterwords? Also I still get pimples every now and then and have about 3-4 minor ones right now... So I was wondering how that peel would effect pimples? Anyway..Any advice is greatly appreciated.. Also share your experiences and results with the peel if possible Thank You So Much..

Thanks for the link .. Unfortunately the main person stopped giving advice? I just wanted to know.. if you can apply it to your entire face at once.. or is it better to apply to one area at a time.. I'm guessing the latter is better... not sure though.. plus is it ok to get it on your eyebrows.. or would that like make your eyebrows fall off? Anyway.. I'll research a bit more.. But if anyone has anymore advice.. feel free to post it here.. I truly appreciate it all.. Thanks! Wish me luck with the research

hey guys i would like to ask if this kind of peels work for dark marks left behind

it's best to start with a low % and then work ur way up

also do a test patch to see how your skin reacts to the acid

that's because some people can only manage 1 minute with the glycolic acid peel or they risk burning themselves, and there's the 'others' like me that can manage 50% for 10 minutes and all i get now is some mild peeling (nothing to be proud of tho)

so have a try and see how ur skin reacts start with prehaps 30 or even 10-20%

u could do ur whole face if it's necessary, but best to just do the areas where you have marks

i don't think AHA makes eyebrows fall off...it didn't for me but i didn't exactly applied it right onto the hairs...
gd luck!

your idea of testing it on a patch of skin is good.. so can I test it on like part of my stomach and see how much of it I can take before I put it on my face?.. because I heard some people say the 30% really doesn't do much for them..

Thanks for the advice by the way I really appreciate it.. I think I shall start with a 30%.. I really don't think I have that sensitive of skin.. I used to.. I thought.. but it doesn't seem to be too bothered by any medication I use on it.. so we'll see.. Thanks again!

Also does everyone pretty much agree ebay is the best place to by it? I also heard someone mention a website called platinum skin scare once.. I thought?
