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

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 Hmm 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.

ggirl · 20/03/2012 10:40

I do want something that gets rid of the lines around eyes though

Pinot · 20/03/2012 10:41

:o We would be dangerous if we were let loose in a John Lewis together!

and the lippy is bargainous Body Shop Red Gleam gloss.

Levantine · 20/03/2012 14:37

Levantine · 20/03/2012 14:38

should have added I do not have the same luminous skin though - unfortunately

jen127 · 20/03/2012 15:51

Damm Mumsnet! I have just bought it! What do you use to apply it ? Do you need the brush as it is currently sold out ?

ggirl · 20/03/2012 15:53

suppose any brush will do , or your hands ....will I have no fingerprints!?

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 20/03/2012 16:29

Bollocks, I've just bought someBlush

God, I'm such a sheep! I've been using the Alpha H glycol acid stuff I read about in here, and I'm doing the OCM, still look about 90 thoughGrin

I had so much more money before discovered MN S&B!

QuinnFabray · 20/03/2012 16:30

I used a flat foundation brush a couple of times, and my fingers the other times.

KatieScarlett2833 · 20/03/2012 16:52

I'm in.

(total S&B junkie)

supernannyisace · 20/03/2012 17:20

Bum! I ordered it, but just been to derm dept about spots/oilyness - and got a prescription for Differin. so wont' be able to use this stuff too -or else my face may fall off.

It will keep I am sure :)

knitknack · 20/03/2012 17:27

How timely I've just bought a 10% kit from eBay after having fantastic results with liquid gold! I am obviously a total wuss, so may get 30% soon (baaaaa). Is very cheap on eBay :)

Is anyone else using Emma hardie cleanser? We'll all have the same skin care routine at this rate!

hatcam · 20/03/2012 18:02

Is this the real deal? A course of 3 glycolics here is approx £180. I know I'd rather pay less but am I going to mess up my skin? Can't work out whether I'd be a mug to buy this stuff or a mug to go to the salon?!

I currently use Dermaquest glycolic moisturising wash, serious sunblock and skinceuticals o.5% retinol night treatment. Touch wood skin is better than been for ages. Have been recommended glycolic peel by clinic who sold me the dermaquest.

QuinnFabray · 20/03/2012 19:10

It works for me. I'd say yes it's the real deal. I started off using Alpha H, and it was someone on here a couple of months ago who recommended the Bravura.

DinahMoHum · 20/03/2012 19:32

thanks. Ordered!

DilysPrice · 20/03/2012 19:51

I'm such a wuss - I want to try this but need a salon to hold my hand the first time before I DIY.

How do I find a good salon?

Chockiebiccie · 20/03/2012 20:37

What are 11s? intrigued

ggirl · 20/03/2012 20:53

11s are the two vertical lines between the eyebrows
