after just one use of the lactic acid lotion.. i already feel a difference. im looking forward to seeing how i feel with 2 weeks of consistent use.
I didnt measure though…  so yea i dont even know what strength it is.. but i know its not too strong cus it didnt burn it just tingled. i only poured a little into like 18oz of lotion. it was a bit much for my face though.. i quickly washed it off.

this might sound like a dumb question…
but say like when you buy '5oz' of something.. do they count the weight of the bottle/container?
im trying to figure out how much of the lactic acid i used… so i weighed it but yea im wondering about the weight of the little jug.
i bought 5oz and its saying its 4.6oz.. but the way it tingled mixed with 18oz of lotion i doubt that i used so little….

this time it tingled much less… and its fine on my face. i think im gonna add a little more..
i saw this in an old thread.. and i havent used half of the lil jug yet so ill be good to add a little more.. but i think ill use a weaker mix for my face.. i need to get some essential oils to add to make it smell good
16oz
So you use 2.72 oz of the 88% LA. And the remainder of the 16oz
(16 - 2.72 = 13.28 oz) is made up of lotion.
So 2.72 oz of 88% lactic acid plus 13.28 oz of lotion will yield 16oz of 15% lactic lotion.

CoCo I went to the DIY section on skintalk and I can' t understand the measurements..I have a bottle of LA sitting at home and Almatin lotion and Jerkins...I just need someone tell me in teaspoons how much to put in there...they make things complicated over there   coconess wrote:

I have been using my kojic acid soap for about a week and I must say that I am impressed. I had some dark marks on my feet and they have lightened up already. My knees and elbows are showing some improvement too. |
Do you leave it on for a while? Where do you store it? Mines melted so fast

I leave it on for about 5 minutes. I only apply it to the dark spots. I store it in a dry tubberware bowl with a lid.

so i dont like this loreal spray sunscreen… makes me look a little dry and ashy.. then i tried to spray some na-pca spray on top.. i turned completely whiteish/gray.. i just put some coconut oil on top.. im giving it a few seconds before i leave to see if it'll turn white/gray again.. it doesnt even have zinc..
yesterday it wasnt bad (but i still kinda noticed it) cus i put a little mineralize powder on top… which is kinda glowy.. but today im not putting on anything besides moisturizer.
im interested to see how it would look with a liquid makeup or primer.. but i know i wont wear makeup every single day and if it doesnt look right without.. its gotta go.  i think ill try cerave next…

it sucks because its like.. regardless of if it makes me look ashy or not.. because of the LA lotion i cant under any circumstance leave without wearing any.. if it was only my body i probably would (briefly) plus with my body looking a little pale is whatever.. but im not trying to play around with looking ashy or hyperpigmentation on my face.. at least with makeup i can find what works on my own time.. with this whole sunscreen world ill be forced to look ashy or try new ones like everyday. im over it already.
