Hi All,

I found 6% and 8% glycolic acid cream.

I am not using any AHA or BHA Toner.

DO you think I can use 6% glycolic acid cream after my cleansing in the night..
May be wait for 15 minutes or so, wash face again and then apply my actives or Anti wrinkle cream..

I am 43 years old.

Any suggestions/ advice on Glycolic acid cream?

Thanks a lot

One of the best formulations (definitely NOT Paula's choice)

is Glyderm

Because you are just getting the AHA BHA. The brand does NOT pretend to be anything else.

10% four times a week.

Retinol in between, 1% Skinceutical or Strivectin

They will have synergistic effect.

Never keep increasing the acid conc just because you want a deeper peel. Put Retinol and Acid together will give you a greater control and deeper effect. Why I say that is that you can put the retinol exactly where you need it, NOT all over the face.

Also, do not buy cheap acids. They must be 2.9ph and a lot of the supermarket brands may say "10-15-20%" but will not do anything unless the ph is right.

The only other ingredient I use with AHA / BHA would be Vit C (L-ascorbic) because it stays active in acidic environment.
