How To Use
How To Use
Cleanse
Start with a gentle, non‑stripping cleanser. Make sure your skin is clean of makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and oil.
Dry skin
Ensure your face is completely dry before applying—glycolic acid works more intensely on damp skin which can lead to irritation.
Apply serum
- Use 1 pump if you have the new packaging.
- Use 2 pumps if you have the old packaging.
- Apply evenly over your whole face or only affected areas, avoiding the eye and lip zones.
Absorption time
Let the serum absorb fully for about 1‑2 minutes before layering any other treatments. (If your skin feels irritated, you can wait longer or rinse lightly after a short time initially.)
Moisturize
Follow with a hydrating moisturizer to help support the skin barrier and reduce potential irritation or dryness.
Frequency
Start with 2‑4 times per week in the evening, depending on your skin’s tolerance. Over time you may increase if your skin handles it well.
SPF is non-negotiable
Glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity. Apply a broad‑spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+ or higher) every morning.
