Guest Johanna Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 hello!! pls. help me decide what to get. I have a mild acne scar on my right cheek and on my chin. What would be the best product for me? I am currently usinf a blemish toner that is 2% salicyc acid. If I decide to purchase the glycolic versus salicylic, is it okay to combine those two? pls. let me know! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAVI Support Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Glycolic acid peels can be very effective on mild acne scars (i.e., scars that are less than 1mm recessed form the skin’s surface). If you do not have prior experience with glycolic peels at concentrations of 20% and greater, it would be best to begin with a strength no greater than 30% for your cheek. Glycolic peels are applied once per week and are ok to use in conjunction with a 2% salicylic acid toner. More information on our glycolic peels may be found here: http://www.kaviskin.com/info/glycolic-acid.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johanna Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 thank you so much! For the glycolic peel, do I only put it on the affected areas(my right cheek and chin) or do I have to apply all over my face and neck? And is it okay to apply a moisturizer after?

KAVI Support Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 If you would like to give yourself a full facial peel to rejuvenate and clarify your skin, Glycolic Acid 20 or 30 would be the right product. Of course, be sure to follow all directions closely, including an initial spot test to determine your skin's sensitivity to the acid's strength.
