Glycolic gel

Sale price$45.00 USD

SIZE: 30 mL

A high-potency exfoliating treatment formulated with 10% Glycolic Acid at an optimal pH level. This scientifically developed formulation chemically exfoliates the epidermis, removing dull and dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, youthful complexion beneath. This treatment fortifies the skin by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin hydration, providing structure and elasticity to the skin. Increasing cell turnover also supports the skin's natural repair mechanisms, contributing to overall skin health and youthful appearance.

Glycolic Gel’s anti-inflammatory properties reduce skin redness and improve skin texture, aiding in treating congested or acne-prone skin.

As a potent solution for at-home chemical peeling, addressing prevalent signs of aging, and optimizing skin health, Glycolic Gel is a testament to the power of science in skincare, offering tangible benefits while being easy to incorporate into a regular skincare regimen.


AHA

Glycolic acid is highly acclaimed for its remarkable exfoliating and rejuvenating properties. Its small molecular size enables deep skin penetration, fostering efficient exfoliation at the cellular level.

Glycolic acid’s water solubility allows it to penetrate the upper layers of the skin easily. Its primary mechanism of action involves weakening the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their shedding, and revealing the newer, healthier skin beneath. This process of accelerated cell turnover is instrumental in addressing a range of skin concerns, from aging signs like fine lines and wrinkles to texture irregularities and hyperpigmentation.

Glycolic acid's efficacy extends beyond mere exfoliation. It's also recognized for stimulating collagen production, a crucial protein in maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness. This aspect contributes to its anti-aging benefits. Furthermore, its hydrating properties add to its appeal, as they help increase the skin's capacity to retain moisture, leading to a more supple and vibrant complexion.

Clinical studies have consistently supported glycolic acid's role in improving skin appearance. Research indicates significant improvements in skin texture and pigmentation and the visible reduction of wrinkles and fine lines with glycolic acid.

✳ You may notice a slight stickiness on your skin after applying Glycolic Gel. This sensation is typical due to the hydroxyethylcellulose, a thickening agent that helps the gel adhere to the skin. This allows the glycolic acid to work effectively throughout the night by promoting exfoliation and cell turnover. Embrace this as a sign that the active ingredients are set to rejuvenate your skin while you sleep without the inconvenience of daytime residue.

✳ Don't apply any other product over the area you treated with Glycolic Gel. The other product may alter the pH of Glycolic acid, which may lower the product's potency.

I have been using DERMALHEALTH for more than 2 years and will never use any other product on my skin again. My skin is glowing and pigmentation marks has visibly reduced. I only use now the Lightweight Foundation in the day, and minimal make-up and for my age (53).... my skin looks and feel amazing!!!
I use the Retinol and Lithaderm serum as well.
The serums last long and a little goes a long way.
