Juice Beauty and I think Jason's (found in health food stores) has a beta.

I use and love Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel and it contains no nasties like PG, etc.

While I've never tried it, Zenbiotic also sells a glycolic treatment-- here are the ingredients:
Purified water, organic aloe Vera, Glycolic acid polymer, natural plant essences, vitamin E

Monica34 ~ Fabulous! So glad to have helped!!! Very Happy

FYI-I started with the lower percentage (2%) just incase the higher was too strong (didn't want to risk peeling.) I got a free sample of the 5% and it's pretty stong. Will probably stick with the 2% for awhile and then move up to the 5% after this bottle's done.

Let me know what you think if you go for it!

~ Heather

P.S. YOu only need a couple of drops to do your whole face.

Heather, is the serum easy to apply? I mean, is it very runny? I want to use it all over my face and neck.

I also have a scar which I thought would be great to treat with the 5%.

Thanks again Smile

I find it pretty easy. It comes out of a little dropper bottle, it is watery but you can do your whole face and neck with a few drops!

Definately try the higher percentage for just the scar, just get a sample, lasts forever!
Would still stick with the 2% for allover.

HTH!

I'm curious how people apply this product. It seems like because it's so thin I'm using too much by putting a few drops on my fingertips and applying. I don't want to use cotton because I'll waste a lot that way. Any suggestions?

sgresnic, I've been using PSF 5% for a few weeks now and really like it. I squeeze out a tiny amount onto the palm of my left hand [I'm right handed], then use my right fingertips to apply it all over my face, avoiding the eye area. Then I slap what's on the palm of my left hand all over and massage with both hands, concentrating on my nose and chin. I agree that using cotton balls to apply this would result in waste. It's not the cottonball that needs this treatment, it's my face! Laughing

HTH,

Athena
