I find that Dan's 10% AHA two nights per week (in addition to a bit of Jojoba in a couple spots) is all I need as far as flakiness goes. Glycolic acid is a type of AHA (the same one I use) so it makes sense that a short exposure to a higher concentration of the same compound would work as well. I have never thought of using it as a peel... but really, that's awesome! Did you buy a home-use product for that, or did you do it at a spa? I don't plan to fiddle with my formula too much (basically just stock regimen...) since it has worked so well for me, but if flaking occurs again, I'll keep that in mind.

I got a home use peel and I had no problems at all, having done it myself so easily I wouldn't pay for it. It's hard to get Dan's products in the UK, the customs charges make them really expensive (and the shipping takes ages!) so his aha lotion is probably superior to mine (certainly I find his bp superior to anything else available) so maybe that is enough for people on the regimen but I guess this might help if you have to take higher % bp and don't have Dan's aha.

(And I would recommend peels for red marks if that's an issue for you - I used them six years ago to fade my red marks and they worked well, but now I've got a whole load more because I tried to stop bp to see if I had grown out of my acne - the answer a resounding no!)

Old acne marks are really one of the only problems I have left as far as results go. I'll give it a shot. Thank you!
