Hi! I just used my first glycolic peel today(30%). I am trying to spot treat for a couple pitted scars and for smoothing out blotchy skin. Please share anything you find may be beneficial for me while using this product, along with your experience with copper peptides and exfol cream. Thanks!!!

I doubt 30% will do much for you. It is pretty mild. I used to use it, but switched to 50%, and it does smooth your face, however, I don't think it takes off enough skin to remove scarring.

well, it is worth a try. I have fairly sensitive skin. I am also not just using the 30% glycolic acid peel. I am using other scar treatments. Anyone else?

Ive been using 60 percent glycolic , Im 27 with sun damage and fine lines and some pitted scars on my face too. Ive been using the 60 percent wich has smoothed my face and gave me a brighter complexion, however has left 3 more slightley pitted scars aroung my chim and cheek area. so be carefull with the stuff.

Wow!!! So basically..the glycolic acid did nothing for your pitted scars but make more of them?? That sounds strange. Yikes!! How often do you apply the 60% on your face and did you start off with a lower percentage?? Let me know!! Thanks!!!!
