Exfoliate with glycolic acid for a refreshed, radiant look. Glycolic acid, a powerful alpha-hydroxy acid, gently removes dead skin cells from the surface, helping to refine texture and even out skin tone. Because its molecules are small, glycolic acid penetrates deeply, targeting dullness and unevenness for noticeably improved clarity.
Start by selecting a glycolic acid product suited to your skin type and goals—toners for mild daily exfoliation, serums for targeted treatment. Apply to clean, dry skin two or three times per week, adjusting frequency as your skin adapts. Always follow with a hydrating moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your renewed skin.
Selecting the ideal product depends on your skin’s unique needs. Toners are typically formulated for gentle, everyday use and are suitable for beginners or sensitive skin. Serums offer higher concentrations for more dramatic results, making them a good choice for concerns like uneven texture or visible signs of aging. For acne-prone skin, opt for formulas that combine glycolic acid with soothing botanicals.
| Product | Best For | Key Benefits | Shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| GlycoBoost Radiant Skin Super Serum | Targeted radiance, anti-aging, smoothing | Concentrated exfoliation for visible improvement | Shop Serum |
| GlycoBoost Gentle Exfoliating Toning Solution | Daily use, sensitive skin, beginners | Mild exfoliation for gradual enhancement | Shop Toner |
If you’re seeking quick improvements or have mature skin, a serum may deliver stronger results. For gentle, daily care or easily irritated skin, a toner is a practical choice. Both options are formulated for effective exfoliation and skin comfort.
Mild tingling or redness is normal when starting glycolic acid. If you experience discomfort, reduce frequency or switch to a gentler formula. Always use sunscreen, as exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity. If your skin shows signs of over-exfoliation, such as peeling or persistent redness, allow time for recovery before resuming use.
At Lotus Botanicals, we offer glycolic acid serums and toners designed for a range of skin goals—from gentle daily exfoliation to targeted radiance and anti-aging care. Visit Lotus Botanicals to explore our full selection and find the ideal formula for your skin.
1. What does it mean to exfoliate with glycolic acid?
Exfoliating with glycolic acid involves using this alpha-hydroxy acid to remove dead skin cells, which helps reveal smoother and brighter skin and improves overall texture.
2. Is glycolic acid suitable for all skin types?
Glycolic acid can benefit most skin types, but those with sensitive or dry skin should start with a lower concentration and use less frequently. Always patch test before full application.
3. How often should glycolic acid be used for exfoliation?
For most people, exfoliating with glycolic acid two to three times per week is effective. Adjust frequency based on your skin’s sensitivity and the strength of the product.
4. What are the benefits of glycolic acid exfoliation?
Glycolic acid exfoliation helps smooth rough skin, brighten complexion, unclog pores, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. It also enhances the absorption of other skincare products.
5. Can glycolic acid help with acne and congested pores?
Yes, glycolic acid can clear clogged pores by dissolving dead skin cells and excess oil, which may reduce breakouts and improve skin clarity.
6. Is sunscreen necessary when using glycolic acid?
Sunscreen is essential when using glycolic acid, as it increases skin sensitivity to sunlight and the risk of sunburn.
7. How does glycolic acid compare to salicylic acid for exfoliation?
Glycolic acid is an AHA that exfoliates the skin's surface for brightness and smoothness, while salicylic acid is a BHA that penetrates pores and targets acne. Each serves different skincare needs.
8. Can glycolic acid be combined with other active skincare ingredients?
Glycolic acid can be used with some other actives, but it's best to avoid combining it with strong retinoids or vitamin C initially. Introduce one active at a time and monitor your skin’s response.
