I’ve been using 20% glycolic peel pads (pixi) for a little over a month now and I would like to increase the concentration…this takes me out of the safer drugstore market to shopping online.

I’ve been looking at Skin Obsessions 30% Glycolic Acid and I’m wondering if there are any obvious concerns that I am missing? Here is their link on amazon:

Also, for purchasing glycolic acid in the future, are there certain types that I should avoid or things that I should look for?

Thank you

Well, the obvious concern is that the higher you go in concentration, the greater the possibility is that you will cause chemical burns on your skin. I’ve read that higher concentration glycolic acid peels are chemically buffered to reduce the effect of the acid. You can read more here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3875240/
