    Default Glycolic Acid Lotion Mix

    Is it safe, both in terms of chemical stability and effect it will have on one's skin, to create your own glycolic acid & lotion mixture? That is, is it safe to take a high percentage concentration of glycolic acid and dilute it with enough lotion so that it should be around 10% concentration? If so, can it be similarly safe to create your own toner or cleanser?

    I sure as Hell wouldn't. I use glycolic skin products currently; they are expensive, but they work, and are worth every penny. I'm currently using vivité.

    I'm not sure I would ~ if you get it wrong you can really irritate the hell out of your skin.

    I use MD Forte (Skinstore always has 20% off coupons) and alternate with a peel from MakeUp Artist's Choice.

    i wouldn't try that ever. omg. i'd be too scared. besides, i don't think lotions are the best way to use it.

    just find a good product and buy it. i use avon's glycolic pads, and i save mad money by getting my mom (an avon representative) to get them for me when they're on sale.
