Does anyone apply this Glycolic acid with just their hands/fingers? I have had a hard time with cotton swab application. Thanks.

I put the right amount on a small dispossable plastic receipent and from there, I use the brush. Remember that you have to apply it fast and use a chronometre in order to avoid accidents or undesirable effects.

No. There is a special brush for glycolic acid that you can find in here too. If I use cotton, I use the pads, however always with gloves for it goes in the skin of your hand as well, and though you cannot see it, I works in there as well. I recommend that brush though, it is easier and therefore you do not have on on your fingertips. I am a cosmetologist (and a dentist as well). Hope this helps.

this is very common in lanolin products. it won't work in as fast as a synthetic product. i apply it as the last thing at night and wear cotton gloves/socks. by morning, it's worked all the way in. good luck!

Basically, instantly... apply a thin coat, spreading evenly and rubbing in good. Careful around joints, like knee's and ankles. Let dry while washing hands well with a pedi or facial scrub so hands don't stain, then repeat in 15 minutes. Great product, have been using it for years. Don't apply too much at once, to avoid an unaturual color. Apply another coat the next day or two for a good color. I basically only use this on my legs. Good Luck!

I myself have only used it on my fingers. I'm not sure about using it other then fingers.

This is a once a month thing for me. I don't know how it compares to glycolic. It's very strong but effective. You have to follow directions and I put a moisturizing mask on after. If I leave it on longer than 5 minutes I get dry, but then it balances out after the skin flakes off. I put it on with Q-tip on spots or bumps, and it takes them off. Pretty cool stuff, just be mindful.

I use it as a face scrub/mask. You could use it on your hands if you wanted to, but I'm not sure why you would want to. The mask is gritty with sugar, when you add water the sugar melts and the grit goes away leaving a filmy mask on, which you rinse off. You could rub it into your cuticles, but if you have any broken skin the acid will burn. Glycolic acid can be used on your hands and I guess this could also be used as a rinse off hand mask, but I think you would be better off getting a hand lotion like Earth Therapeutics hand remedy which contains alpha-hydroxy fruit acid complex if you want an acid product for your hands.

yes... but please don't just ROLL it all over on a first try. Might have too much product, it will sting and burn. Perhaps you can consider dipping on cotton buds & swab it first?

I think the 10% solution would cause scabbing; I would try the 5% solution. I am trying the 5% solution that I bought at a health food store in town. I bought two different kinds: one with alpha hydroxalic acid and one that was glycolic acid. Both had other ingredients in them too. The 5% solution doesn't cause scabbing.

I just spot treated with this product. If I used it all over it really dried out my skin.i have done glycolic peels a few days after.i just avoid the area I applied the skin obsession treatment .sensative and fair skin I have.

I would contact the seller and ask this question. I have olive skin and it has been great for me. I mix it up between this and the glycolic peel from this company.

Danielle and Monica are spot on. Try not to touch the gel pads as the oils on the hand do not help with the stickiness. I have dampened my finger and moistened the gel to clean them and rehydrate them. Have had no problem after doing that.

Hi Teresa. I get a pack of those really thin see thru gloves that you get with hair dye and as I spray if it doesn't go on evenly I rub it. I find if I spray it on my legs that I am using the gloves a lot till I get the result I want. The rest of my body I am able mostly to just spray it on but it isn't as dark as my legs which is by choice and of course my back I have my husband spray it and use the gloves if he needs to.

I just put several drops on my fingertips and apply to my face. I also use it on my hands. One of my co-worker that purchased the product was putting it on the back of her left hand and applying with the fingers of her right hand. She came in about a week of so after she began using it and we were all suprised by the difference when we compared the backs of her hands.

Hi Katherine~Thanks for posting this. We get this question a lot and glad that you are asking it here in the forum. Since opinions may differ about what is watery and what isn't the most objective thing I can tell you is this -after you put a drop or two on your hand you can turn your hand sideways or upside down and it will stay there and not run like off like water or a watery compound would. In fact we personally don't think any "serum" that will run down your hand is really a serum. Part of the design mandate for the product was to have a consistency that is thick enough to hold its shape but not be heavy or greasy in any way. Personally I think the feel is very silky but my silky might not be yours. I hope this helps and if for any reason you are not happy with the consistency (or any other aspect of srumtologi C serum 22) know that you can always return for a prompt and friendly refund. Thanks again for your interest in our groundbreaking serum! Sara srumtologi Customer Care

We used Magic Acid to etch the surface first then sprayed two coats on. Muratic Acid is more harsh Magic Acid does the same job and you can handle it without gloves.
