Acid exfoliator between laser sessions?

[PastelGiraffe]

Does anyone have any recommendations for an acid exfoliator which can be used on the bikini area between laser hair removal sessions?

I’m about 7 sessions down and it’s all going well so far but it’s getting to the stage where I feel I need an acid exfoliator to keep on top of the hairs which haven’t been fully zapped yet.

I think using this will really keep ingrown hairs at bay and leave the remaining ones free to be zapped at the next session.

I’m assuming I can’t just slap on the glycolic acid I use on my face?

I don't see why not, provided it's kept well away from the delicate bits? Maybe a body lotion with an acid in it might be safer than applying a runny serum, possibly cheaper too - what do you use on your face? (I'm presuming a mild daily glycolic rather than a strong/occasional peel?)

I was told to avoid acids and exfoliating the week before and after laser sessions though

Thanks - good point. I just use a mild daily toner on my face - not a peel or anything. And yes this wouldn’t be for the immediate period before or after but for the middle of the cycle.

I think they did actually recommend one at the first session but it was super expensive so I didn’t pay attention but now thinking it’s worth getting one. 🙄
