Is a 50% Glycolic Acid Peel to High Percent to Use for the First Time?

beckieann
I am a 16 year old female from england and have recently perchased a 50% glycolic acid peel to remove my acne scars and redness, I have been doing some research and am slightly freaking out as this is been said to be a very high percentage, will it strongly damage my skin as this is the first time i have ever used a glycolic acid face peel? many thanks
