Been watching this thread myself and looks very interesting. Not sure where to start though am only 23 and my skin is pretty good. Sometimes get a few tiny blemishes but its quite dry even though I drink loads of water and look after it. I just want it to look brighter and smooth. I've just started to see pores more and the wrinkes on my forehead drive me crazy.

I've just bought Olay Night Renewal Elixir which has Glycolic Acid but not sure how much.

Really wanna try Glycolic but don't want to my skin to peel. Is 10%-20% best and where offers a good deal on it.

I was goint to get Alpha-H Liquid Gold but its quite expensive.

There is some pretty good info here http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Chemical-Peels-Which-one-is-right-for-me-/10000000175195835/g.html


which should give you a reasonable idea about what is available.


Generally your skin will only obviously peel with something like the TCA peels (I think) the others are far more subtle.


Ebay sell it (but I don't do ebay) so I have bought Glycolic from Bravura and Mandelic from Forever-young.

I have asked Santa for the boots no 7 one because I didn't realise you could buy these alternative versions. Devildog's link is fab.

I am thinking I might go for one of the ebay ones. Has anybody used ebay? And have they been ok?

I have PCOS induced acne skin and sometimes it is quite sensitive too so I think I was looking at salycylic with lactic acid but the strengths were 15%, I believe.

Also, how much peeling does it creat and do you have to go without make up after all of them?? Just because I am not sure I could!!

Thanks in advance!

I think Forever-young sell on ebay, I just don't have an ebay account lol. The product was fine.
I haven't used the salicylic/lactic acids so I don't know how they would be. One of the companies do a 5% salicylic acid that is gentle enough to use daily which may be worth a try initially (have bought this one for relative of mine)


I haven't had any visible peeling and have used make up(and sun cream!!) the day after.
I think visible peeling(and 'down' time comes with the TCA peels.


I believe mellymoo has tried the salicylic acid, hopefully she will be along to give you her opinion.

I use a lactic/salicylic 40% bought from eBay seller braddock27 (I think, its in blue bottles). I don't have any actual peeling and the results are great.

Thank you for this. Does it help with acne as well?

I find the mandelic which I got from vanity belle on ebay is the best for blemishes.
You know the blind spot cystic lump things it gets rid of them so I try and time it so I am using that a week before period.

Salycilic is good for blackheads and Glycolic is good for a general glow.

both the Vanity Belle and Forever young products have been spot on, the forever young kit containing Glycolic, vit c cream, and a day and night moisturiser is fab (£16!!!)and I am going to get their post peel stuff as I am planning on doing a major layer over Crimble (try that first then TCA lol)

I would recommend the Mandelic for acne if you google acne.org I think they will go through the best peels there and it will help you make your mind up.

The one thing I will say is its better to start weak and work your way up and dont expect immediate results its 6 weeks of treatment before you see the difference.

I have completely faded a horrible brown mark caused by medication making me sun sensitive using mandelic and I am now trialing the Glycolic 20% so I can decide which I prefer.

Hi again.

I am liking the boots kit however I think I might like to try some of the mandelic/salicylic.

Is it possible to post a link to the product on eBay as I have searched and searched and cannot find the sellers vanity belle or forever young!

Thank you.
