How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel is a potent blend of two alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), specifically designed to exfoliate the skin, reduce inflammation, and enhance the appearance of various skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, and keratosis pilaris. This unique formulation combines the deep exfoliating properties of glycolic acid, a smaller molecule that penetrates the skin more effectively, with the anti-inflammatory benefits of lactic acid, a larger molecule that improves the skin's overall appearance.

When applied topically, this gel works by exfoliating the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This process helps to diminish the appearance of acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, and keratosis pilaris. Additionally, the gel's anti-inflammatory properties help to alleviate redness and irritation associated with these conditions.

Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel should be applied to the affected area once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition. It is crucial to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when using this product, as AHAs can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. It is also recommended to start with a lower concentration of AHAs and gradually increase the concentration as the skin becomes more tolerant.

If you have any questions about using Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, or keratosis pilaris, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to assist you in finding the most effective treatment for your skin.
