Glycolic Acid (10% Solution)
This solution consists of 10% Glycolic Acid in a preservative-free, aqueous base.
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 exfoliation of dead skin, contributing to a smoother, brighter complexion. Glycolic Acid is the active ingredient in Essential Wholesale & Labs’ highly popular Pumpkin Mask.
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.
Usagerate: 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.
