How To Use:

- If you are new to glycolic acid, begin by using every other day.
- Gradually increase to once or twice daily as tolerated.
- Follow with a moisturizer if needed.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.
Pro Tip: For best results, introduce glycolic acid slowly and avoid combining it with multiple strong exfoliants or retinoids until your skin has adjusted. Always wear SPF during daytime use.
