I buy from bettercomplexions off ebay. The TCA is 100% so I dilute it to what percentage I need. If you do a true TCA peel you do need to understand it is normal to end up with a brown crust, kinda like a bad sunburn, that peels off. You will have days you don't want to go out of the house. Now that is for say a facial TCA peel and not treating scars. I have the scar patches. I have used them in certain places after doing a TCA peel. Jennzy, doing a TCA revision on the scar and then using a collagen increaser as it heals would help it. TCA is good for the raised and burning them down. I have not messed with mine recently. I need to reorder. The burning of the TCA will cause collagen to start replicating under the skin, you have to not peel it though. It's kinda like not peeling a sunburn.
I will the honest the TCA peel burns really bad, I recommend applying it and sticking your head in the freezer for the 3 minutes. Also, are you familiar with the pic method for any scars that are sunken in?
PM me if you have questions.
