*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.

Hash three that is, NUMBER THREE! Jeez

GA30%4

Tuesday night and Sat afternoon is peel time here too.

Today I went to work wearing only a smear of lipstick. No need for any foundation/concealer/powder here.

Feeling good (nanananananana)

MAVERICK LOON ALERT

Am sitting here with 20% SA/mandelic on nose and under eyes.

30% GA on forehead, cheeks and jaw (baaaad chloasma)

I hope they don't react

Burn baby burn........

I got the lift at work (just the one floor) so I could gaze at my face at the very flattering mirror in the lift.

I posed to my heart's content.

WHAT A WANKER ETC

OMG
do report back,have visions of wicked witch of the east in wizard of oz

yowzer

Wasn't the witch of the east the pretty one??

not sure, I mean the one in striped socks that melted

Glinda the Good (witch of the North) was the pretty one

The one from the east got squashed by Dorothys house

The one from the west was the melty one who still haunts my dreams

Has anyone gone to the 50% GA yet, my camel skin has not peeled with a 7 minute 30% GA- it looks much brighter and the pores are smaller but I want the burn baby!! Or Do I ( now nervous ...)

I just find them too drying. I've done a course of GA and a couple of SA peels, and whilst they do help to a degree with the blackheads and oiliness, I feel like they've dried my skin out ( even though it still gets oily, and I still have blackheads ) and it seems to have accentuated my wrinkles, especially my cat's bum mouth, and I look crepier and older. I guess the layer of sebum on my face, which the peels have stripped away, was making my skin look plumped up and younger. I hated my manky oily blackheady skin, but it seems I hate this drier crepier older looking skin more.

Ooh MissFoodie - fab read! Thank you!

Ooh MissFoodie, fab read! Thank you!

The after pictures of the deep peels are amazing, but I'm not sure I could take the process....

If I have been using 10% SA do I now order 20% SA or 30% GA?

The SA hasn't done much at all for me - I always thought my skin was sensitive but even after 5/6 minutes I just had a tiny bit on tingling and pretty much no change in my skin.

I am another sheep - have ordered the bravura.

missfoodie have had to register with docsummat to read that link but still can't see it

I did it.

I look the same. I left it on for 2 mins after washing my face (I like to ignore instructions) It didn't burn apart from when it went in a spot I picked

No redness, feels very dry because I didn't put any moisturiser on.

right have read the link

interesting it says that retin a creams can be used whilst having peel treatments

also says no need for the neutraliser as water has the same effect

i only read the glycolic acid bit ,took ages to download btw

Wow. Coming late to the peel party, but wow! I'm converted. Done one peel with the 30% stuff and left it on for only 2 mins. But skin much tighter and brighter and fab effect in my brow lines/wrinkles. I really hope I don't wake up in the morning and find it all gone back to the way it was. Skin feels pretty dry and tight...any experts around to tell me should I slap on some moisturiser/oil or just leave it. Not itchy or painful.

GA 30%
Ok, I don't like being left out so decdied Tuesday night is sizzle night for me too!
Just done #3 for 6 minutes. OMG it itched! A loooong 6 minutes!

Question is, the leaflet that came with it says work up to a max of seven minutes - then what? I'll be there next peel - then 50%?

Feeling quite of some of you with such lovely skin.

Shall I risk GA, I have rosecea, some small red veins on cheeks and allergic rashes[allergic to grass, cats, dogs, dust mite etc]. No blackheads or spots as such.

Please talk me in[or out] of it. Finger hovering over buy button

WeesaD iirc, the leaflet says you can take a six week break and then start sizzling again, no need to move up to 50% if you don't want to.

I'm post sizzle now. Cheeks feel lovely. Face cheeks that is, although I'm sure my arse could do with some sizzling. Can GA melt cellulite?

sorry girls, you didnt need to log in to that website, if you scrolled down you could read it anyway-
salycilic doesn't need neutralising, it's glycolic and the others that need the bicarb

I didn't get my neutraliser in the pack, so I just used cold water with the GA. I still have skin left this morning so it seems to be ok to do.
