Doing that is a big mistake, your skin goes very brown! I then tried watering it down, and it didn't work. I then bought some 25% TCA and did a light peel to test it, and it peeled well, and took most of the brown from the first peel away.
Ok so this last peel I did, I really went for it. 25% peel, but I didn't wash it off atall, and applied a few layers, the pain was bad, for about 10 minutes. My skin went VERY red and stayed red. It's like it destoyed the first layer of skin! It went very brown and thick crusty and you could still see the red underneath.
So I'm half way through this peel, and not only has doing it this way made the peel quicker, it also seemed to virtually removed the smaller stretch marks, and improved and larger ones lots. The skin is still slightly red but that doesn't bother me. I'm sure smaller peels will rid that.
I'm seeing some success people! Maybe I should take before and after photos for my next one.

i cant live like this...ive never enjoyed the most basic things that life has to offer and NEVER will ...cant enjoy sex because my body makes me sick and i would never be comfortable in this ugly skin. cant go to the beach etc. ill just never be able to enjoy life and be confident in my self... NEVER...
im contemplating suicide more and more each day because of this...everytime i look in the mirror and see the 40% of my back thats covered in deep red stretch marks...knowing that they will never go away just makes me want to give up..
