What should I expect when using glycolic acid for the first time?Updated 2 years ago

Depending on the strength of the formula you are using, you may feel nothing at all, or you may feel a slight tingle as the acid penetrates the skin. Glycolic Acid works to dissolve the proteins that bind skin cells together on the surface, assisting in exfoliation and encouraging skin renewal.  


If you’re using Glycolic Acid products at night such as Liquid Gold, you may wake in the morning with a slight residue on your face – this is normal.
