How Often Should I Use 20% Glycolic Acid Peel at Home DIY Style?

CheCarlos
I am a 23 year old tanned Asian. I have a sun damaged skin and a couple of acne scars from pricking months before and i also have clogged pores that make my skin look like they have tiny bumps or feels like a sand paper texure. After doing research about chemical peels, i bought 20% Glycolic Acid Solution & 10% TCA peel at a local online store. Im Thinking of using the Glycolic Acid first to make my skin accustomed to the peel then move on to the TCA if i want to see a dramatic result.
