(I have a guide that you may find helpful: https://www.crappycandle.com/2015/02/10-things-to-know-before-using-aha-or.html)<br /><br />Also, if the scars are discolorations, look for a product that specifically target that. A good vitamin C serum can do wonders.

It really helped me a lot. :)<br />I'm using a korean skincare routine, and I use both AHA (7%) and BHA (4%) for my skin (combination, T zone really oily + blackheads/large pores everywhere + some dark spots). I'm also using a vit C serum and I was wondering if I could make a low pH toner (preferably pH 3.5-4.5 for brightening, light exfoliating and prepping for my serums/exfoliators, as vit C works well on low pH (it's not a stabilized vit c serum)), and I was thinking about adding a little lemon juice to water or my pH 5 toner, but now I see it's not a good idea... There are so many and so mixed posts and advices on this topic, but this one helpled me a lot. Thank you! :) :)Dórahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17165216566332312947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252932792312090413.post-13710814801515653772016-05-17T01:27:58.242-07:002016-05-17T01:27:58.242-07:00Salycylic Acid is also used as a carrier for other...Salycylic Acid is also used as a carrier for other ingredients because it penetrates the skin deeply. Sometime please experiment with chives ( Allium schoenoprasum) in combination with salycylic.

I get what I always thought were little "blackheads" on my nose, but I figured out they're actually something called "sebaceous filaments." For the mask: I mix it up, apply generously, leave it on for 20 minutes, then remove with a warm washcloth. It's the only thing that I've tried that gets rid of those suckers, although they always come back. (I have a full review of the mask here: <a href="http://www.crappycandle.com/2014/09/aztec-healing-clay-mask-review-acne.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.crappycandle.com/2014/09/aztec-healing-clay-mask-review-acne.html</a>)Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641891761903836154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252932792312090413.post-80536338892898014872016-03-20T07:16:31.655-07:002016-03-20T07:16:31.655-07:00Thank your for this!
