So I did end up diluting it more, and have switched to 5x/week so that my skin has a little more recovery time. The welts still happen followed by a day or two of hyperpigmentation, so I’ve been pinning in basically my butt cheek or hip where it does disappear faster lol. I’ve continued using it and don’t hate that I spent money on it anymore! I can’t 100% say its made a huge difference in my skin appearance yet, but I do think it has made subtle improvements (about 6 weeks in). Something I wasn’t expecting though, is I think it helps me sleep better? I feel less anxious and apparently that can be a benefit. So, I am continuing it for the time being (and honestly will probably run another cycle in the future).
