FAQs

What is Glycolic Acid and what does it do?

Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that works by dissolving the bonds holding dead skin cells together on the skin's surface, allowing them to be shed more easily. This promotes cell turnover, revealing smoother, brighter skin.

How often should I use this exfoliating tonic?

It is recommended to start by using the tonic 2-3 times per week. You can gradually increase the frequency to daily use if your skin tolerates it well. Pay attention to your skin's response and adjust usage accordingly.

Can I use this tonic with other active ingredients?

It's advisable to introduce this tonic slowly if you are already using other potent active ingredients like Vitamin C, retinoids, or other exfoliants. Monitor your skin for signs of over-exfoliation, such as redness, peeling, or increased sensitivity. It might be best to alternate or use on different nights.

Is this product suitable for all skin types?

While beneficial for many, those with very sensitive or reactive skin should patch test first and introduce it gradually. If you have a specific skin condition, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.

What should I do if I experience redness or peeling?

Redness or mild peeling can be a sign of over-exfoliation. Reduce the frequency of use or discontinue temporarily. Ensure you are using a good moisturizer and always use SPF.

Does this product contain fragrance?

Refer to the product packaging for the most accurate ingredient list, as formulations can sometimes change.

Troubleshooting

Skin feels tingly or slightly irritated after application.

This is common with Glycolic Acid. Ensure you are using it on dry skin and start with infrequent application (2-3 times a week). If irritation persists or becomes severe, discontinue use or consult a dermatologist.

Product does not seem to be effective.

Ensure you are applying it consistently as directed. It may take several weeks of regular use to see significant improvements in skin texture and clarity. Make sure you are not over-cleansing or using other harsh products that could counteract the exfoliation.

Increased sensitivity to the sun.

This is a known side effect of AHAs. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every morning, even on cloudy days. Limit sun exposure while using this product.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective exfoliation with 5% Glycolic Acid.
  • Helps to improve skin texture.
  • Contributes to a clearer, brighter complexion.
  • Can be easily integrated into a daily skincare routine.

Cons

  • Potential for initial skin sensitivity due to Glycolic Acid.
  • Requires consistent use for noticeable results.
  • May not be suitable for very sensitive skin types without careful introduction.
  • Does not offer sun protection; SPF should be used concurrently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Use:

  1. Ensure skin is clean and dry.
  2. Apply a small amount of the tonic to a cotton pad.
  3. Gently swipe the cotton pad across the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
  4. Allow the tonic to absorb fully before applying other skincare products.
  5. Start by using 2-3 times per week and gradually increase frequency as tolerated.
  6. Always follow with sun protection during the day, as AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.

Compatibility:

This tonic is generally compatible with most skincare routines. However, if you are using other strong actives like retinoids or other exfoliating acids, introduce this product slowly and monitor your skin's reaction to avoid over-exfoliation.

Care:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.
  • Discard after the expiration date, if indicated on the packaging.
