A high-potency exfoliating treatment formulated with 10% Glycolic acid at an optimal pH level. This scientifically developed formulation chemically exfoliates the epidermis, removing dull and dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, youthful complexion beneath. This treatment fortifies the skin by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin hydration, providing structure and elasticity to the skin. Increasing cell turnover also supports the skin's natural repair mechanisms, contributing to overall skin health and youthful appearance.

Glycolic Gel’s anti-inflammatory properties reduce skin redness and improve skin texture, aiding in treating congested or acne-prone skin.

As a potent solution for at-home chemical peeling, addressing prevalent signs of aging, and optimizing skin health, Glycolic Gel is a testament to the power of science in skincare, offering tangible benefits while being easy to incorporate into a regular skincare regimen.

2. Apply

Dispense a small amount of product onto your fingertips.
Apply evenly over your face or on body areas of concern.
Avoid sensitive areas, e.g., the eyes and lips.

Important note

Start by applying this exfoliator one evening per week. After one week, increase usage to two evenings a week.
Observe how your skin responds and adjust usage accordingly.
You may use this treatment every second night if you don't have sensitive skin.
Don't apply any other product to the area treated with your exfoliating treatment. The other product may alter the pH of the active ingredients, lowering the product's potency.
This exfoliating treatment promotes skin peeling by effectively removing dead skin cells. Peeling is a normal reaction and not a sign of skin dryness. You should notice decreased peeling as the product works to exfoliate dead skin.
You may notice a slight stickiness on your skin after applying your exfoliating product. This sensation is typical due to the hydroxyethylcellulose, a thickening agent that helps the treatment adhere to the skin. This allows the active ingredients to work effectively throughout the night by promoting exfoliation and cell turnover. Embrace this as a sign that the active ingredients are set to rejuvenate your skin while you sleep without the inconvenience of daytime residue.
Always use SPF 30 or greater during the day.

product benefits

Improve Sun-Damaged Skin

Reduce visible signs of sun damage like hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and textural irregularities.

Boost Collagen Production

Restore skin structure by stimulating fibroblast activity and supporting the synthesis of new collagen fibers, improving skin firmness and elasticity.

Refine Skin Texture & Pores

Promote healthy skin cell regeneration and optimize the skin's structural integrity to refine skin texture and diminish pore size, resulting in a more even, smooth, and polished look.

Enhance skin renewal

Enhance the skin's renewal process, replacing older, damaged cells with newer, healthier ones. The proliferation of new skin cells refines the skin's surface, diminishes signs of aging, and improves overall skin clarity.

mode of action

Pigmentation Treatment

Inducing chemical exfoliation removes dead, damaged, and discolored skin cells faster from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It drives new skin cells to the surface of the face. This spurred cell renewal helps reveal the healthier, underlying skin and promotes a more even skin tone overall.
Glycolic acid suppresses melanin formation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.

Anti-aging

Exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal the newer, brighter layers underneath by acting on the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). Normal, intact stratum corneum consists of tightly packed layers of tightly bonded dead skin cells. Glycolic acid loosens these bonds. With their glue dissolved by glycolic acid, those tough, rough layers of dead skin cells can more easily slough away.
The small molecular size of Glycolic acid allows for deeper penetration in the skin layers, where it stimulates fibroblasts to produce increased amounts of collagen. By stimulating collagen production, it helps skin feel firmer and minimises fine lines and wrinkles.

Exfoliating

Glycolic acid facilitates progressive weakening of cohesion of the intercellular material of the outermost layers of the skin (stratum corneum), resulting in uniform exfoliation.
Disrupts cellular junctions to exfoliate dead skin cells.

Microbial Control

Glycolic acid exhibits pH-dependent antibacterial activity against C. acnes. At a pH of 3-3.5, Glycolic acid kills C. acnes cells by disrupting bacterial cell membranes.

Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Acne

Exhibits pH-dependent antibacterial activity by disrupting C. acnes cell membranes at a low pH (3-3.5), effectively killing acne-causing bacteria.
Exfoliates dead skin cells, preventing pore blockages and reducing the risk of breakouts.
Minimizes redness and swelling by limiting bacterial-triggered inflammatory responses.
Reduces acne-related inflammation by addressing both bacterial activity and clogged pores.

exfoliating action

glycolic acid

exfoliating & renewing action

Dead skin cells accumulate on the surface, making the skin appear dull and uneven. Glycolic acid dissolves the bonds holding dead skin cells together, promoting their removal. This exfoliation reveals brighter, smoother skin and improves texture while stimulating collagen for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
