neutrogena vs. glycolic peels

i've been working with the neutrogena acne fade peel for over 2 - 3 months...the commercials, i'm beginning to believe, are a bit misleading.. at first the peel worked well on the new acne scars..

it never even touched the old ones..i decided to be a bit more aggressive on the old ones and began a glycolic peel and microdermabrasion regime on them..and it works..my acne stemmed from hormones plus having to wear an O.R. mask all day..

Now that i am out of that environment, i still have quite a few "battle scars" left over that i couldn't seem to get rid of..

the glycolic peel seems to exfoliate the skin layers and the microdermasion seems to be a lot more effective in the sloughing off of the dead skin..in one month, i could see a difference in the old scars...it's going to take forever to clear this up..but at least i think i have something to work with now..

also diluted "skin tend" is working well, too.

there is a web site that sells glycolic peels for home use..they sell a line that is made exclusively for scars..you don't put it all over your face, just the acne scar about 2 - 3 times a week...i thought that was a bit much, but i have found it works without any problems...sundays and thursdays are the days that i use it..

the microdermabrasion is for tues..

I've been using this for about a year now,....then thinking that i needed something different, i used the neutrogena for about 2 - 3 months...now i'm going back to the home peels...the scars are fading - not rapidly, but there is a difference between the two products...

go to any search engine and type in "home glycolic peels", this is probably the first site to pop up..

thanks! it is very good..i can always learn something...i use a moisturizer after the peel with a built in sunscreen, and a  concealer with a very high sunscreen #..(dermablend & mac concealer is very good) i use the peel only on the scars..

the glycolic peel "ranges" depending on how long you keep it on your face...#30%for 5 minutes, #40% for 10 minutes and #60% for 10 - 15 minutes..

before applying the glycolic, you use this copper peptide product  that comes in the kit which enhances the affect of the peel...i don't use it anywhere else on my face..once i did it for a couple of weeks, and my whole face had this "orange peel" texture...it faded after a few days, but boy - it wasn't pretty to look at..

as for the rest of my face, it's the usual cleanse, tone and moisturize, with a egg yolk masque (by Queen Helene - real cheap), once or twice a week while i'm under the hair dryer.

and of course, the microdermabrasion to slough off the dead skin cells..(that's a lot of work, now that i'm typing this out)..
