I want to DILUTE my 50% TCA AQUEOUS SOLUTON... so that it won't burn my skin. Can I empty out ~half the tiny bottle & add ~1/2 of bottled water? Shake it up, test behind my ear and see what happens? Or should I just throw it away & buy the 35% TCA? I just thought I'd be more red & it would sting more and I wouldn't leave it on very long. I want smooth skin, small pores, no blackheads on nose, treat fine lines around orbital area. Any advice or tips to dilute the solution? Thank you!
