Hello,
Do not use any alpha hydroxy acid products (those containing glycolic or lactic acid), salicylic acid products, retinoids (Retin A, Renova, Differin and Tazorac) and other topical acne medications such as benzoyl peroxide for 72 hours after the treatment. Also any scarubbing or acne soaps should be avoided for atleast 1 week after the miscrodermabrasion procedure.

Hello,
Both retinol and glycolic acids have their own pros and cons. Glycolic acid may induce redness, flaking or a burning sensation. In rare cases, and usually those involving the higher concentration chemical peels, it may cause inflammation, infection and skin discoloration. Retinol may cause a warming sensation, redness, itching and scaling of the skin.
Since glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid, it is better.
i have brought 25% glycolic acid, in the past, and the plastic cap fell apart twice, it just would crumble, and i just brought another the other day and i opened it up and it was full to the top of the jar, then the next day i looked at it and it seems to evaporate, i have seen this before, it would just shrink in the jar, what is this, and how should i store it.
Okay, before I did this 30% glycolic acid peel I did a little research on it. Now, when I was researching people said, that there should be a little bit of redness, drying, scabbing, and peeling of the skin. The symptoms that is. So when I first applied it , it didn't really bother my skin as bad as I thought it was.
There was little bit of a tingling not really harsh or lenient. I give it about a 4 out of 10 on a level of, I guess burning or a stinging sensation.
After having been using the pigmanorm for several weeks now, I used the glycolic acid peel and after just 3 minutes it was burning much more than usual. I realized perhaps the pigmanorm had made my skin thinner and more sensitive and I couldn't leave the glycolic acid on for as long as I usually could, so I washed it off right away, but that put it as 4 minutes.
The skin on my cheek peeled off nicely, however the skin under my eye looks as if I have more wrinkles now (the skin did not peel off directly under eye but around eyes). When I put the 5% glycolic acid cream on I did not use any moisturizer and skin seemed tight for a few days (I was afraid to put anything on the skin at that point). My question is did I cause a permanent damage and will have these wrinkles under eyes permanently?
I started using a glycolic cleanser (4%) with an 8% glycolic toner as well as an 8% glycolic night cream. At first I had new pimples and redness with irritation. After a few days, the irritation subsided. I decided to do a 10% glycolic mask. So far my face was getting accustomed to the acids so I was excited.
Today, I wake up and looked closely in the mirror under natural sun so my skin was clearly visible. I noticed some small sloths of skin missing from my cheeks.
I had a similar experience with a glycolic cream almost 2 years ago and it also makes me sick to my stomach. One night before going to bed, I applied some glycolic cream to my forehead and it was burning. I washed it off, but apparently not completely. The next day, I took my dog for a walk and came back inside to notice that I had pigmentation marks on my forehead. I was so upset and still am!
I have done many Candela laser treatments to remove these marks, but they are still there.
You need to go to a dermatologist who can prescribe to you facial peels with aha, salicylic acid or glycolic acid in them. Creams containing these (and more) ingredients also work very well in lightening and treating acne. maybe a combination of peels and creams/gels. Microdermabrasion also works very well in smoothing the surface of the skin.
There is so much new medical tech out there for scars etc., that you shouldn't have to live with them anymore.
At night, repair them with creams formulated from glycolic acid—a must for improving skin texture and tone. If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist. Fungal infections and eczema have to be ruled out then. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
The chemical solution for body chemical peels is typically comprised of a combination of trichloroacetic acid (the main ingredient in a medium-depth skin peel) and glycolic acid (the main ingredient of a mild peel). The solution for body chemical peels is formulated to be stronger than the chemical solution used for light or medium facial skin peels, though it is milder than the phenol solution used for deep skin peels.
i also wash face with mild cleanser and apply moisturizer, after apply moisturizer on my nose still becomes more oily. I went to see the dermatologist and he given me the differin cream, differin also make my nose oily and did not stop the oil production,which is also not helping, i very hopeless right now. please help with my oily nose.
Other treatment options include shaving in a different direction, tweezing, exfoliating with facial scrubs, sponges, towels or creams containing acid and ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. You can also apply calamine lotion as it will soothe the skin. Topical application of dilute glycolic acid and salicylic prepared solutions are also helpful.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Distilled water, plant cellulose, castor oil, methyl glycol, azelaic acid, kojic acid, glycolic acid polymer, lactic acid polymer, ethyl hydroxide, ascorbic acid, betacarotene, spin trap, lemon extract.) on areas of facial melasma (from bcp); there are now some white spots in places on my face that the gel obviously really worked; it so patchy and inconsistent now, how can I fix this?
Topical application of dilute glycolic acid and salicylic prepared solutions are also helpful. You can consult a dermatologist and discuss these treatment options with him.

Hello,
For the dark knuckles, treatment includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. However these should be used under a medical guidance. Also at night, repair your hands with creams formulated from glycolic acid—a must for improving skin texture and tone. For a more intensive nighttime treatment, apply cream and then cover hands with gloves or socks.
i heard that glycolic acid contanins such property which diminishes the scars....so DEMALEAN contains glycolic acid near abt 20%....im using lemon bcz t contains citric acid which diminshes the dark appearence of scars....i use lemon juice twice a day....u prescribed me to use hydroquinone.....all i wqant to knw is...which creams contains adequate hydroquinone.....cud u be a lill kind to recomend few names of such creams or gels....don wry...i wnt use it without prior advice of my doc...
I just had for the first time a mild glycolic chemical peel and wondered if it is normal to feel swelling and numbness on skin. I do have supersensitive skin especially with waxing, which is prone to swelling even with that. My skin also feels tight is that normal after a peel? I also broke out in a very painful burning rash on neck area after this. Shouldn't the aesthetician have done a patch test first? My face looked very inflamed after and now on the 4th day is still tight and burny.
