• Do not use on skin that is damaged, inflamed, or sunburned.
• Don't put it on or near your eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes.
• After applying, you should feel a moderate tingling. If you feel a lot of burning, wash it off right once.
• If you're new to acids, start with lesser concentrations and work your way up to 12%.
• Before using it for the first time, do a patch test on a small area of skin.

Side Effects

• Burning or discomfort that doesn't last long
• Serious (Uncommon) Side Effects:
• A very red rash or redness

• Itching, hives, and trouble breathing are all signs of an allergic reaction.
• Stop using it and talk to your dermatologist if it causes significant irritation.

 How It Works

• Sugarcane is where glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), comes from.
• It works by removing the top layer of dead skin cells (stratum corneum), speeding up cell turnover, and encouraging collagen formation.
• This leads to:
• Skin that is brighter and smoother
• Lessening of fine lines and wrinkles
• Lessening of dark patches, pigmentation, and acne scars
• Unclogging pores and stopping outbreaks

Medicine Interaction

• Don't use at the same time as:
• Retinoids, such tretinoin and adapalene, may make irritation worse.
• Other AHAs or BHAs, including lactic acid and salicylic acid, can induce too much exfoliation.
• Using benzoyl peroxide or vitamin C serums together can make your skin dry or red.
• Toners that are astringent or have alcohol in them might make skin more sensitive.
• If you use other active skin care products, use them on different days or at different times of the day (morning vs. night).

 How to Use

• Gently wash your face and pat it dry.
• At night, use a thin layer of Glycolic Acid Cream evenly over the region that is affected.
• Don't touch your eyes, lips, or broken skin.
• Use it every other night for a week, then every night as needed.
• Wash your face and put on moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning.
• If your skin gets dry or peels, use it less often.
