Don’t listen to slogans and doctors
thats interesting I have been using herbal infusions with basil and dandelion
herbs. I have been looking for a good retin a cream do you know where I can get
this??? I don’t know about making the peel mask or cream, honestly I just
started , I use fresh lemons on my spots and it burns but it helps, I have oily
skin so I have to use strong stuff, lol, well good luck with that, and if you
find a way to make it I would like to know how you did it!!

Joane,
I want to make a roll on zit zapper type of medication for myself and
my teenage son.
I have bought similar items from other companies and thought with my
herbs, essential oils and other ingredients I could come up with
something on my own. I do make my own facial lotion, retin A cream and
facial wash so I wanted to try a spot treatment. I have on hand
salicylic acid, vitamin A, vitamin P, vitamin E, allantoin, jojoba oil,
shea oil, olive oil and many more oils.
My pan was to only use jojoba oil because I know from my research that
it doesn’t clog your pores. I’ve seen other spot treaters that also
contain alcohol but I want to leave this out of my recipe because its so
drying.
From what I’ve been researching on the proper usage of salicylic acid it
should be used at no more than 2%.
I also have glycolic acid on hand. (I used to do facials in a spa but
am now disabled this is how I get these ingredients)
Anyway, I’ve never made a glycolic peel but wanted to make one for
myself so that is another question I have. What percentage is best to
start with and what would be the best carrier oil for the glycolic acid?
Also can I add Lavender EO to the glycolic peel or wouldn’t it matter?
I hope you can understand what I’m asking here lol I think I may have
confused you and myself lol
