*sounds klaxon* 30% GA peel shizzle that you can do at home

[SeasonOfTheWitch]

thought i ought to do a public service and announce it properly as hardly anyone seems to know you can buy this stuff to use at home - and it works out sooo much cheaper than having it done at a salon even tho it's the exact same stuff.

i've only used it once so far (for 3 mins) but have been properly amazed by the results - as i posted on another thread, my 11s have reduced by 50% [holy grail] and my skin generally looks brighter and more even.

you do it weekly, building up the time over 6 weeks and then have a break.

the magic goo is here: www.bravuralondon.com/glycolic-acid-30.html

don't forget to get the neutraliser (apparently just bicarb but maybe has crushed fairies' castles in it too so your choice) and use sun block in the day.

anyone a veteran of the stuff and care to share your results?

p.s. i don't work for bravura and i'm a MN regular recently name-changed to separate my S&B chat with my over-sharing on other threads.

yeah - thin skin that's it! knew there was something about it

i'm not mega-liney under the eyes (for my antiquity) any way so think i'll manage to resist trying that.

but yeah i'm with you jasper, fuck the 3 day cycle thing, i'm itching to do it non-flipping-stop but am being veh good and doing it Tuesdays only

am going to do backs of hands and summat tonight.

oooh necks - are we doing necks?

I stumbled across this thread whilst doing a search on clarisonic, and am so glad I did!
Can I join? Please? Can I??:o

But, glycolic or salycilic? Which to start. I have just got normal, ageing skin with fine lines canyons and a bit of hyperpigmentation

Backs of hands! Genius.

I have the start of what seem to be liver spots!

Weesa I read all the gumphf about the salycilic acid on the links that makesthings kindly posted and decided to go for the saly/ lactic acid peel as my skin is oily and fine liney ( the main thing I want is for all my blackheads to go and S acid is better at loosening dirt apparently

fluffy, me too, I've ordered the 10% SA, due to arrive today.....
have been using liquid gold and it's good, but hasn't made any difference to my pores really

Yes I like liquid gold and now I understand things a but more i would get it again for every (other) day use to maintain my amazing new skin that is waiting to be revealed!
This thing about breastfeeding and acid peels- if I wait I'll be waiting forever...

fluffylegs - are you breastfeeding? I have ordered mandelic acid (someone mentioned it on here) for my permanent pregnancy mask from ebay, but I'm exclusively breastfeeding. Don't know if I should use it though.

I told my DH about this thread and he says he wants to try it too!

well lovely Faith from bravura has emailed to say my GA will be here on saturday, so roll on singing detective weekend!

Whats liquid gold? That's what I always called my breast milk! :o

done it ! cant see any difference at all, but it is only the first one. left it on 2 mins

im just about to do my first one im a tiny bit scared i done the test patch on my wrist on wed night left it on for 3 mins and its been fine so will leave it on my face for the same im really hoping it get rid of my acne once and for all been using dermalogica products for weeks and its done nothing to help

have use all been putting make up on the next day and face creams as usual or have u been leaving it a few days?

Purchased - impatient already

done my first one, was rather stingy probaly something to do with the amount of spots but was bareable hoping it does some good :)

I have been following this thread with interest and have finally given in and ordered ..I should really stay away from this board as it is proving very expensive but I am loving the results!

Sootie yes but not a newborn so I'm sure it'll be fine! Not heard of that mandula business

so what results are you all seeing?

i'm tempted to bring my next one forward to tonight or tomo as would be more convenient than doing it on Tuesdays

and necks. are you doing your necks or not?

ggirl do you have the Fluid of Youth in your mitts now?

Bought some and can't wait to try it, but I've not used it this week because I have a wedding to go to today... just in case

Have used Alpha H 15% glycolic mask with no probs so I'm sure I'll be fine. I used to dream of having a chemical peel (you know, one of those proper scab up and skin falls off peels) to get rid of acne scarring, but this is the closest I'll ever come to that kind of treatment I reckon.

I did my first one last night - 2 mins. So this morning my skin is much smoother and feels tighter and looks less patchy. And it also seems to have had an effect on my fine lines which seem less obvious. Not noticingmuch difference on my 11's but then this is only week 1

I have the night cream so will be slapping that on inbetween peels.

Overall - very pleased.

Which would be best for me?

I get spots (yuk) but even where my skin feels smooth it looks like my pores are full of stuff. Facials and exfoliating haven't cleared them out.

I can't leave the house without foundation as my pores are really obvious on my forehead, nose, chin and cheeks near my nose.

Mine arrived this morning - will do this evening. Can't wait!

As well today I have oil cleansed and used my BBM and am wearing my mn scarf. I am such a sheep

season am waiting for post to arrive
can I leave it on for an hr?

blobtobetter do you double cleanse? Cos that has cleared my mucky pores out amazingly well

Also .what cleanser do you use?

Huzzah for you Miss B!

I am currently using Liz Earle - don't double cleanse though.

Even after a face mask or facial the pores look grubby. I have blackheads too. I don't remember my skin ever being really clear.

I have a clarisonic which makes my skin softer.

I am wondering if anyone would give me advice on my help, my skin looks atrocious using...thread ?

Its about the clarisonic and liquid gold
