I`ll give you a bump. Try google with "chemical peels for acne scars before and after" on the images search. Or try a search for acne forums, here is one I found for you. Acne Treatment, Prevention & Product Reviews | AcneForum.com - Powered by vBulletin

I bought some TCS (acid used for chemical peels) off ebay and used it on several skin tags diluted to 50%. Even diluted by half, it burned instantly and the instructions (for skin tags) require multiple coats to be left on for at least 4 minutes. I felt much like Edward Norton during the chemical burn scene in Fight Club. It leaves the area white which then scabs over and peels off. Smaller skin tags required 1 treatment. Two of the bigger tags required 3 treatments.

I have no idea how it would work on scars, but if you're using it over a large area, you're probably better off pain wise to go to a dermatologist. Be careful in the gym afterwords as open wounds are subject to staph infections. Neosporin is a must.

My wife has had 2 sessions done and I cannot believe the positive change...it has made a huge difference.

I have had several done. I do them myself at home now with a less potent version. Works good.

My wife had it done and it made a big difference(mostly acne) but she went to a dermmatologist, to have it done.

Are you guys and your wives using TCA for their peels?

Have some at home. Did 12.5% strength first and it worked great.

Then did it at 25% strength and its permantely scarred me in a very small test spot.

Becareful with it.

I was using it to try to fade a tattoo
