I've got generally rubbish skin with blackheads, fine lines, pigmentation etc and have been 30%-ing with no problems and pretty good but subtle results.,
I'm now leaving on for 8 mins nd tolerating well but the results seem to have slowed.. I could do with stepping up the rate of progress. Has anyone had problems going from 30 to 50% Or a tale of encouraging results to push me to go for it? I'm a bit scared!50% sounds hardcore.

Bumping. I'd like to know too. Maybe leaving the 30% on even longer would give similar results to the 50% ?

ooh what are you using? what is the treatment? not sure what sizzlers is sorry.

on a dermatological note, that seems like a big jump but if well tolerated perhaps you'll be okay with it for a shorter duration.

BUT simply from the irritation % even lower than 30 can cause - eg, 5, 10% - 50% is a very strong preparation - so I would advise against DIY-ing this

have you looked into derma rollers
meant to be great for skin when used with a vit c serum
i bought a roller but haven't got round to using it

tbh i used to use glycolic acid but prefer using dermaflannel for exfoliation

Gylcolic acid peels from Bravura. They were all the rage on here a little while ago... I got suckered in as ever!
Where did you get the roller ggirl? And does the dermaflannel really get results?
