BjórkniSs

thanks, i since got some..but i was meaning UK online shops.

thanks anyway

I'm sorry, been busy..

I have used the lactic twice now. Will be applying it for a third time within the next hour or so.

My skin is noticibly (sp) smoother, and the red marks do look like they've faded a little. I could see this doing good if you keep it up twice a week for a while.

I also use creams with antioxidants in it, to speed up the process.

i have the red/brown marks left over from old acne. By back to normal, i don't mean they have cleared from one application, i mean the pinkness from the lactic has subsided, allowing me to go out.

It will take a few applications before i can see i guees. But overall skin tone is looking great. Nice and soft too..

bnb, i just did my first application of 50% lactic acid! I left it on for 4 minutes, for a wee while afterwards my face was nice and pinkish. I applied this at 8pm and it is now 9pm and i am pukka (back to normal!!)

So yes, back to uni tomorrow.

My skin looks so much better and it just glows! I look forward to my next application..

All the best//

au contrare mon cher!

when i placed an order twith them, they were with me every wtep of the way. Responded kindly and quickly to every email and even cancelled the order no questions or prblem when i wanted to.

Either the 40 or 55% lactic peels. The good thing with lactic is there is no downtime. I am just about to start my lactic acid 50% today. So fingers crossed..

.It wouldn't damage, as you can buy rubbing alcohol. It would probably just cause you to break out pretty badly. Alcohol is one of the worst things for acne prone skin.

i hope not, as i need to go to uni each day. I will have mine tomorrow hopefully so i can tell you then what it's like.

But from what i've read, no it doesn't. Check the lactic acid thread in this forum.

i just get my fishing rod out and go down to the river and catch myself the freshest salmon around! But in Scotland you can buy fresh wild salmon everywhere.

Try lactic acid, it doesn't have any downtime. There is a big thread on it in here somehwere.

did your skin where the blackhead were go back to normal and nice and smooth or just fill in again later with more blackheads?

would it be okay to steam my face to loosen pores, then wash my face and then use the lactic neutraliser then the lactic acid..??

Or would loosening the pores like that do harm with the lactic acid applied?

cheers

doesn't that much water flush out all the goodniSs in you, leaving your body deprived of essential vitamins and minerals?

hehe, so aye.. thanks for pointing that out!

Hey..

I found these vitamins, they have ALOT of very good ingredients, alot of antioxidants like DMAE and ALA.

It's recommended to take 3 a day, and that will give what is stated on the list. For b5 that gives you 10mg. Surely this would be better than taking 20 b5's and a bcomplex each day?

Let me know,

thanks

you should check out OC Eight Oil Control Genius.

this is what pharmacy2u says about it:

Description

A breakthrough in skin care that puts you in control of oil and shine. Unique formula with Acrysorb, invisible micro-particles that lock away surface oil on contact. 

Indications

Unique formula OC8 contains Acrysorb - an invisable oil-absorbing polymer. It's micro-particles can absorb and trap up to six time their own volume of facila oil (sebum). The result is clear, shine-free skin for up to 8 hours.

Skin care/make-up - OC8 has been formulated with a light moisturising base. It doesn't dry your skin and as a result use of an additional moisturiser should not be necessary. OC8 is alcohol free and won't cause irritation. What's more, it's non-comedogenic, which means it doesn't encourage spot formation. OC8 soaks up the sebum that causes your face to shine and your make up to streak and run. If applying make-up wait until your face is dry to the touch. Make sure you choose oil-free make-up. 

Directions

If you use a cleanser, cleanse first. Then apply OC8 every morning as part of your daily skin care routine. Gently massage into your face using light circular movements, paying particular attention to your forehead and nose (T-zone). OC8 has been formulated to last for up to 8 hours, but can be re-applied if required during the day. More information available at www.oc8.co.uk 

and now it 5:50 AM...i just can't sleep tonight!

if you can handle the downtime, get the TCA Complex peel. Otherwise, try lactic acid.

They both have threads in here if you have a little look.

some days i get 12, some days 6..i have mad sleeping patterns.

It is 3:40 AM right now and i have to get up at 8 AM !!

nite nite..

does the vinegar not make your face smell for the rest of the day?

[edit]

I think ballaballa is asking what toner in general does.. (i'm afraid i don't know either)

lactic acid doesn't cause redness or peeling (you can go to school the next day no probs), it is just an intense exfoliator. So go with that!

I drink 3L of water a day. Into which i put the juice of 3 lemons.

Can anyone tell me if these would be a suitable alternative to the vitamins, as i can't get the ones gamer recommended. (i live in the uk).

I can get these if anyone knows if they're good:
