david.happysky 0 Share Posted November 29, 2009 i read about it online and im giving it a try to see if it gives more results than AHA in treating red marks. with AHA i can see results but just kind of slow. i.e. its been half a year now im on AHA and the red marks have faded like 30%. at this rate its going to take another 1 - 2 years for them to fade completely. also, how do u guys apply it? i just slice it up in thin patches and put it on my face.

I tried it once. I just rubbed raw potato on my face. It didn't do much that way. So next time I try it I'm going to blend the potato and make a paste with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masg 8 Share Posted November 29, 2009 What AHA are you using?I'm using 15% glycolic for like 3 days a week, removed loads of red marks on my neck and I've only used it like 8 times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vicious Lyss 12 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've used it, had a thread about it a while ago. The enzymes in potatoes are a skin lightener. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan's AHA 10% glycolic. i guess it wont make a big diffrence between 10% and 15%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raspberryheaven 0 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I tried it, it didn't do anything for my skin besides dry it out a bit. It only created an awkward moment when my family came home and asked why I was rubbing a potato on my face. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

minjaekwak 0 Share Posted December 5, 2009 You can buy a good quality homemade glycolic peel for around $20 online...Just follow instructions and be smart about it, don't be stupid and it'll be just as effective as a dermatologist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vicious Lyss 12 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I don't understand why people are being rude about it. If (s)he can't afford a peel/doesn't want to, that's HIS/HER business.Leave [it] alone for god's sake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leave [it] alone for god's sake. i agree with lyssa, remember that more risk is associated with more drastic measures. (i.e. some ppl's skin may not be suitable for chemical peels) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
