I doubt that would really work. pH is really important for AHAs. Those creams are around 3.8%. Anything above is not likely to give you much benefit, from my understanding. Regular cream you would use as a base is probably around 6.0**, as this would be the least irritating for our skin.
**Not sure on this, but my best guess. |

Hi queenbluebee and faith,
Dianne got this recipe from personalformulator, and I am pasting it here.
It is already in DIY section.
Recipe for a 15% glycolic acid cream :
22.40g or 4-3/4 tsp of cream (he suggested the multi lameller cream.)
Mix in 5.95g or 1/3 tbsp of 70% glycolic acid
and 2/3 tsp of triethanolamine to increase the ph to 3.5-4.0
I have not tried it, but it looks reasonable. |

You can definitely make your own. The above recipe is a little rough.
(I'd replace the TEA with sodium/ammonium hydroxide and probably add a few things.)
Ph can be altered easily. |
