Glycolic for Pigmentation and Scarring

The glycolic peel will help minimize and reduce pigmentation differences, as well as reduce the appearance of scarring while smoothing the skin and encouraging collagen growth.

Normally a series of 6-8 weekly treatments is required to notice full results, as the improvements are incremental.

The Benefits of Lactic Acid

For primarily pigmentation, I would the lactic/50 peel, or for pigmentation and scarring the glycolic/35 is best. And for active acne, salicylic/20.

There are a few things to keep in mind while applying to your back. We recommend applying in the shower (with the water off), or next to the shower to ensure you can remove it easily and thoroughly. Also, application of the peel will be much less troublesome with the aid of another person to ensure you can remove it easily and effectively.
