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

SeasonOfTheWitch · 20/03/2012 08:40

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.

SeasonOfTheWitch · 10/04/2012 13:39

Tatty which session are you on then?
V envious of microscopic pores.....
on a positive note just got Clarisonic Plus :)
between this and the acid peels I should look about 12 in 3 months....

Whitershadeofpale · 10/04/2012 13:53

That was 2 mins but I didn't start the timer until after it was all on so probably nearer 3. I do have very fair skin though.

They're a bit crap but I've just uploaded some pics to my profile. The spot to the side of my nose was there before any peeling but the ones on my chin came up after the second peel.

Whitershadeofpale · 10/04/2012 13:54

Wow season your skin looks amazing, I'm hoping that's what I've got to look forward to.

TattyDevine · 10/04/2012 13:57

Um I think it was my 4th session

How many are you allowed to do again?

Fine lines - don't have many really, I had dynamic wrinkles (11's, tram tracks etc when my face moved) but I have botox for that so they are non existant so really I'm just looking for uber tight pores and a really clear well textured skin which I have at the mo thanks to this.

Really pleased with it, might try the Salycilic one next though.

cybbo · 10/04/2012 17:03

My skin looks great today, really good for the first time in ages and not one fucker has noticed

Foundation is going on like a charm and my skin tone is so much more even

Can't say its made any inroads into my facial Bisto mark but I hope it will

MissFoodie · 10/04/2012 17:15

Cybbo, which peel session # are you on now?

ggirltwin2pinot · 10/04/2012 17:26

someone asked me if 'd had a facelift the other day Shock

i thought she was being sarcastic

she was talking about my eyes though and I haven't peeled them

was prob just the makeup

and she's a sunworshipper so looks ancient for her age

TattyDevine · 10/04/2012 17:58

Keep your eyes peeled...

hiviolet · 10/04/2012 18:28

cocolepew · 10/04/2012 19:14

Not noticing any difference with the SA, I am plagued with whiteheads and it's not made any difference. I'm going to get the GA as well.

ggirltwin2pinot · 10/04/2012 19:25
