If you are new to glycolic acid, start gradually, such as 1–2 times per week, and increase frequency only if your skin tolerates it.

Avoid applying immediately after shaving or on irritated, broken or sunburned skin.

Possible Side Effects

Glycolic acid can cause irritation, particularly when first introduced or when used too frequently:

• Dryness
• Peeling or flaking
• Burning or irritation
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight

Stop use if you experience significant burning, swelling, blistering or severe irritation.

Pharmacist / Skincare Advice

12% glycolic acid is a relatively strong exfoliating concentration, so introduce it gradually and avoid combining it initially with other potentially irritating active ingredients such as strong retinoids, other exfoliating acids or abrasive scrubs.

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is strongly recommended because AHAs can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.

Perform a patch test before regular use. Avoid use around the eyes, lips and other sensitive areas.

If you have sensitive skin, active eczema, rosacea, significant acne inflammation or persistent pigmentation, consult a dermatologist before using a 12% glycolic acid product.
