Glycolic scalp peel, what are your thoughts?

casperz · Nov 4, 2008

My wife purchased a 30% Glycolic Acid solution for her face and used it
a couple of weeks ago. The results were amazing and that is an understatement. It
got me to thinking that using it on my scalp might be a good thing to
allow the topical's to penetrate better. So last weekend I tried it and it did make my
scalp very soft and baby skin like. It did sting like crap but it was only on about 10 minutes.

Has anyone else tried this or anyone have any thoughts about the effectiveness?

As I said in your results thread, it's an intresting idea. However, when I look at your regimen I do wonder if you could be using too much on your scalp.

Yea, I totally think that I am using too much. I try to gauge how it feels and cut back
on things like nizoral when it starts to feel raw.

I'm thinking that around the first of the year I'm going to cut back to just finasteride/minoxidil and go to a much
smaller does of minoxidil.
