I bought 70% unbuffered glycolic acid off of amazon. You use this AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I was using 10% lotion from a trusted beauty brand on my face at night. I read it encourages collagen production and reduces wrinkles. Well why not stretch marks?
Abdominal skin is no where near as sensitive as facial skin. I applied it full strength for 6 minutes. It was pretty hot, I had to keep my blow dryer on cool. It caused part of my belly button to burn, otherwise no problem, no scaring. I have used it twice on my face diluted with water about 50/50. I keep it on for 3 minutes and wash it off. My face is silky soft, tight, small pores, no peeling, minimal redness lasts only that day. I immediately apply cetaphil lotion afterwards. I do not put it near my eyes where "crows feet" would be, that area can't even handle the 10% lotion.
I am 24 so I cannot comment on it's "anti wrinkle" abilities, and it is too soon to see a difference in my abdomen. You need to be really careful and as educated as possible when doing these at home.
Great review?

Then rinse and dry your face.Use Honey. Honey contains a good source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important vitamin for the skin. Honey is a natural anti-aging effect and promotes healthy skin. Honey is anti-bacteria and has a Good source of minerals. Honey can heal cuts, wounds to the skin. It's a natural skin healer. Use honey, lemon juice, and little bit of vitamin E oil.

You'll notice that honey gives the skin a beautiful complexion as well.
Thank you for stressing the importance of being careful when doing peels at home. It's good to hear you have had such good success. Did you see much change in the stretch marks after you used it on our stomach?
