Sizzlers Anonymous: Aciiiiiiiiiiid

[SeasonOfTheWitch]

My name is Season and I'm a sizzler. I'm on my second diy course of Glycolic Acid 30%.

Sign in here if you're using GA, SA, LA, or MA, or indeed some new hardcore A with a mellow melt and searing sizzle.

Ok, I've uploaded pictures but for some reason I can't fathom every time I put a picture up it uploads twice and one replaces a previous picture so I think at the moment you can see the same picture twice which is annoying as it isn't even the best picture, but hopefully you'll get the rough idea.

Ggirl I'm using bravuras 15% and I really like that

thanks weesa-have found them now , was looking under the wrong section .
The 15% is sold out at the moment unfortunately.
Wonder if I can use them as well as a retin a cream?

Up to my 5th GA 30% now, still no difference to report. If anything my open pores seem to have spread further down my cheeks. Brown spots and wrinkles still exactly the same.
I have stuck rigidly to the advice - once a week, until last week when I upped it to 7 minutes because I was getting frustrated with lack of results.

I am on my 2 week break from 10% SA ...... missing it!!

I have been doing OCM and since the last peel some tiny bits have been coming out of my pores. A little improvement as I thought my pore muck was cemented in!

Have been lurking for a while ... and just had to de-lurk as I can't believe how

my skin has improved , I have just done sizzle no2 and my pores and fine lines are looking better !! Have had a couple of comments from friends saying how I am glowing
Have a put a few photos on my profile but wanted to say a big thank you to
SeasonOfTheWitch for sharing

Sizzling again tomorrow, but I do love that verb 'to de-lurk' cheered me up after a hard day's work - thanks!

I am just back from my regular beauty salon from getting shellac and they commented on how gorgeous my skin was

Thought I'd report on my latest aciiid experience. I've done a course of 10% SA and didn't really see any difference, it didn't tingle much etc so after 10 days gap I tried ga last night. This morning I now have some additional red thread veins! I've googled and this can be a side effect of peeling. I'm now going to stop as not only am I not seeing a much wanted improvement but it's getting worse. .

Might not swop from SA to GA then!!

Just checking in after peel number three: 30% GA, for 5 minutes.

I think there's little improvement since the last peel, but my skin is amazingly soft.

Same here with me MrsB

Three peels done here, too. Very soft skin and a slightly more even overall tone, I think.

I'm also using the night cream 3 or 4 times a week, and I do think that is making a difference, especially to my fine lines and crepey neck.

Pah, the Bravura night cream is still out of stock!

Top tip for when you do get it - put it on several hours before bedtime. DH kissed my cheek and made a face like a toddler sucking a lemon.

ooh ooh

signing in!

one aciiiiiiiiiiiiiid of GA done, another tonight if I cba

I'm the same as hairytoes: done 3 peels and cannot see any difference. My skin was softer after the first peel but that's it. Bought the hyaluronic acid serum they recommend and I hate it, makes my skin really dry so I switched to my usual facial oil after peeling.
(using 30% GLA)

will bear that in mind, Otters.

I'm still awaiting the luminous skin, Maraki (as in Season's photos ), but I just look slightly paler. I've had the, unusual for me, spot outbreaks, including a horrid one on nose at the weekend quickly cured with Metanium.

Oh well three more peels to go, fingers crossed. I might go for 50% after the four week break, possibly.

checking in after weeks abroad without internet....
sorry for not replying to emails re my SA, this has now been allocated!
going for pro GA/LA peel next week so will report back, then decide on either GA or LA from Bravura.... :)

i'm checking back in too after being too busy to peel or post i'm well overdue for my 2nd peel of course 2 but my skin's still looking pretty good anyway.

maraki maybe you have skin of diamonds and only another diamond can touch it or something

i've just started using the bravura hyaluronic acid serum. i love it! not really sure what the aim of it is tbh but i love the feel of putting it on - like rolling around in a field of fresh dew. deffo no dryness here.

i had a break out a couple of weeks in too mrsbovary but nary a spot since

I did my first 50% yesterday, after full course of 30% - certainly felt more 'aciiiiiiidy' but no ill effects and skin resembling baby's nether regions...

OOOh... I bought some of this stuff on the back of the orginal thread. It came yesterday and this morning I've done a skin test on my wrist - tomorrow I'll give my face the real deal

I was a bit shocked how much it fizzed when I put the neuraliser on though

Can I just ask you experienced lot.... what every day moisturiser are you all using the following day? I am currently using boots lift and luminate - will I be ok to carry on with that do you reckon?

sent off for the hyaluronic acid. Baaaaaaaaah!

I'm just using my usual moisturiser the following day, Estee Lauder Time Zone.

can I ask if you are using something separate with a high spf or does the moisturiser give you the spf protection?

I have started this week with the SA and some retinol gel and I am seeing improvement already :)

I have rubbish skin, pores on my cheeks and congested spot prone chin and nose. I am using an estee lauder moisturiser with an spf of 15 but I think I should get something stronger - but what?! I don't want something heavy and pore blocking - any suggestions?
