Im thinking of going out today and buying 30% glyocolic acid.

Does this really work on red marks?
How many weeks should i try it for?
Should I use it on a small part of my face to make sure there are no horrific side affects?

Are there any other reccomendations?

go ahead and try it. as far as i know there are no side effects except for the minor redness. i havent been doing it for long so i cant tell if its working yet. so far i've done 2 peels at 30% which is weak "for me"...notice i put parenthesis around that cuz everyones skin is different and therefore can tolerate different percentage. g/l

Do patch test under your year to make sure you are not allergic to the glycolic acid.

I would two 2 full sessions, meaning:
You do 6 peels, one peel a week, meaning 6 weeks
Take a 2 week break
Do another 6 peels, one peel a weak, meaning 6 weeks

Go with 30% or 40%.
