Glycolic Acid 10% – 2 oz

Glycolic Acid is the smallest and most highly soluble of the alpha hydroxy acids making it especially efficacious in exfoliants and chemical peels. It promotes the exfoliation of dead skin, contributing to a smoother, brighter complexion.

This solution consists of 10% Glycolic Acid in a preservative-free, aqueous base. While Glycolic Acid can be derived from natural sources such as sugar cane and sugar beets, this Glycolic Acid, like most commercial Glycolic Acid, is synthesized in a laboratory.

Usage rate: up to 0.5%. Licensed aestheticians, dermatologists, and other medical professionals may apply higher concentrations at their own discretion.

Glycolic Acid can be a strong irritant and people with sensitive skin should avoid its use.

The FDA requires that all retail packaging of products containing Alpha-hydroxy Acids contain a sunburn alert, such as follows:
Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterward.
