How to Use
Application Tips:
- Apply at Night: Use on clean, dry skin after cleansing. Avoid the eye area.
- Follow with Moisturiser: Always hydrate after use to soothe and protect the skin barrier.
- Use SPF Daily: Glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity—SPF is non-negotiable!
Frequency:
- 12%: Use 1-3 times a week. Start slow and increase as skin adjusts.
Pro Tips:
- Don’t mix with retinoids, vitamin C, or other exfoliating acids unless your skin is well-acclimated.

- Always patch test before first use.
