inexpensive 15% glycolic acid product?
i suffer from keratosis pilaris, a skin condition that causes dry skin with bumps. i’ve tried exfoliation, moisturizing, and some drugstore AHA masks, but i don’t think they were potent enough. tanning/sunlight gets rid of it but the risks outweigh the benefits for me there. i want to start using a glycolic acid product with a higher dose. what’s interesting to me is that while it’s pretty easy to find 35% or higher professional glycolic peels for under 20 dollars, products with 15% tend to be expensive, anwhere from 30 to 80 dollars.
does anyone know of a good 15% glycolic acid product that isn’t insanely expensive? i’m hoping i can find something for around $15-20? wipes or gels would be preferred over cream since i’d like to combine it with the cream i already use.
Your best bet is to look at the store brands. They will be the cheapest. Try the Walmart brand. Generally if you can find the product you want in the Walmart brand, you won’t find anything cheaper. Amazon.com does have a lotion for $24. Check here.
