Im about to do my first ever TCA peel and...

Im about to do my first ever TCA peel and purchased a 25% solution. The common trend seems to be that most people start with a low % solution and after being both underwhelmed by the results and confident with the process, bump it up to a 20% or 25% solution and start seeing some real results. My question is... Should I dilute and be underwhelmed or is a 25% solution on the face reasonably safe enough to do for a first application?

Great review?

Personally, I feel that doing peels at home is risky and I would not encourage it. If you insist on doing it I would be super conservative since you can always do more.
