*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.

well twinggirl, come over mine as mine is here! woooop! just arrived - dispatch email only sent yesterday. is 1st class recorded shizzle.

I like the look of that Ebay seller Forever Young - super cheap and great feedback.

Hubba hubba.

Mine has arrived, so I'll wait and do it tonight

[excited]

aww where's mine ??!!

did you get yours from barvura??

ahem, what are '11s'?!

Ah I see! I've never had any treatments on mine except a cream I used when they were still fresh and that seemed to make them look a little improved. I am not too bothered by mine though.

I have bitten the botox bullet. WORTH EVERY PENNY

I couldn't agree more Perry.

Yep from bravura. Tis blatant favouritism

Mines arrived but I'm too scared to use it

I'm on nights and I can't face going in to work looking like I fell asleep in the sun so will wait until I'm finished and functioning a bit better.

Might do a skin test though, does that have to be in the face and if so where?

Mine's arrived! Its throbbing in the kitchen like a bottle of radioactive waste as we speak. I bought the neutraliser too so if my face does start to melt at least I've got the equivalent of a fire extinguisher

It blah blah blah' s on about a patch test but in my usual gung ho style I will slap it on tonight if I get a minute

Perry tell of Botox

Mine has arrived but I was out and they have taken it off to the edge of nowhere to await collection. Will despatch DH to retrieve said acid tomorrow which means I can sit and watch all you other lab rats ladies try yours first.

I'm so tempted by Botox. Family member has ultra-popular clinic in London so could have free Botox, theoretically. Still a little apprehensive though. I suspect she despairs of me.

Season Please stop taunting me with your dewy skin. You have the exact skin I want. Which actually sounds incredibly creepy.

do it now ya'll! i didn't even have a hint of pinkness the next day. i think only year old bottles give you the burn, baby.

i didn't do a patch test either - i didn;t actually think about it, i was so excited to slap it on. i'm obv not actually an expert or recommending that you don;t patch test.

Slap it on Cyb, if you end up looking like Freedie Krueger I'll be sympathetic.

mine's here. have patched tested

but now am tempted to throw caution to the wind and just go for it. patch was done a few hours ago and looks fine.

tip to anyone who has bought the bravura neutraliser - take lid off neutraliser before applying acid. took me twenty panicky minutes.

winefairy, are you looking for a new best friend?

Am going in tonight. Will advise of baby-faced-ness tomorrow.

I have a doozy of a broken vein on my cheek..do you think the acid may rupture my vein and I will end up with bloodbath?

i must get round to getting it zapped...and get a sneaky bit of botox at the same time

Stop finding excuses not to do your acid peel

You go first,. then let me know if I should do it

done. was a bit worried cause have caught sun today. neutraliser stung a lot. will report back tomo with verdict.

oooh wel done tyac
mine hasn't arrived yet !!!!!!!!!!

Yours has got lost. Mine came today

top marks tyaca! can you see any difference now or not?

ggirl it won't rupture the vein, i'm almost certain

so if my postie turns up looking like the singing detective...

I have ordered Lactic and SA combination, from here...cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400115625986#ht_3572wt_683

hoping it will make a difference to my spots that seem to be stuck under my skin, plus blackheads etc...I had Microdermabrasion, but it didn't make a huge difference.

I couldn't see neutralizer though, what can I use instead? just water? Do I need to wait for a day when it isn't going to be sunny, and what about swimming, would the chlorine be a problem does anyone think?

I am stupidly excited.
