I have some glycolic acid 30% that I love... I had wanted to make a gel mask... Could I use lotion, aloe gel, or ultrasound gel as the carrier and then mix with my cosmetic frothy (aka a cappuccino frother). Don't laugh, it's awesome.

Nik the lotion. Aloe vera is your best bet but why such a strong percentage? How long have you been using it and how often?

Once a month. I use it mostly on my forehead. I wear heavy sunblock when I'm training (being outside) and it tends to clog my forehead like crazy.

Ok. Cool. I was just checking because that is some strong stuff. The aloe will help soothe irritation...especially if you experience any peeling from it for a few days. If this is your first time using it as a mask I would apply with a flat head brush (you can pick one up at any art supply store...just get a synthetic and make sure to sanitize it before use). And mix in a glass bowl.
