Begin with 1-3% glycolic acid if your skin is dry or sensitive. Oily or thicker skin can handle 5-7%. Always patch test and wear SPF 50 sunscreen during the day since glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity.
Serums range from watery to creamy. Choose hydrating partners like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or fruit extracts to offset dryness. Vegan, cruelty-free options are usually gentle and transparent about ingredients.
Apply a few drops to clean skin at night two or three times a week, then increase gradually. Avoid layering with strong retinoids or scrubs. Store in a cool, dry spot and keep the cap closed to preserve strength.
Tip: Consistency matters more than high percentage. A mild serum used regularly often gives better results than an intense one used rarely.
