WHAT IT IS:
Glycolic is an exfoliator derived from Sugar Cane, which safely removes the outer layer of dead skin cells on the surface your skin, bring fresh new skin to the surface. This is beneficial for those who are looking for ingredients that help with anti-aging, such as sun spots or age spots and help those with acne-prone and blackhead-prone skin. Glycolic acid is safe for all skin tones and is best for normal/dry/combination skin type.
WHAT IT IS FORMULATED TO DO:
Glycolic acid loosens the bonds between cells, allowing old, dead skin cells to shed off of the skin. This revitalizes skin and stimulates the production of new, healthy skin and subcutaneous tissues.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
We recommend getting the Premium Glycolic Peel Essentials Kit
Before Your Peel
For best results, prep the skin for a week prior to peel application with a daily exfoliator such as Glycolic 10% Daily Exfoliator. We strongly recommend conducting a patch test 3 days before applying a peel to ensure no negative or unusual reactions occur.
After Your Peel
Generously apply Daily Collagen Complex, Hyaluronic Serum or Squalane as needed for tight, dry skin. Use a minimum of broad spectrum SPF 30 every day to protect healing skin. Begin using a daily exfoliator in between peels for long lasting results.
DOWNTIME:
Mild - The Glycolic 30% peel has little to no downtime and typically does not produce visible peeling. The skin may be a bit tight and shiny or a pinkish for a few hours but will fade. You can resume to exfoliation after one week.
