What is glycolic acid, and how does it work in a moisturizer?
Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. In a moisturizer, it works as a chemical exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This results in smoother, brighter skin with improved texture and luminosity.
Is a glycolic acid moisturizer right for my skin type (dry, oily, combination)?
This moisturizer is specifically designed for oily and combination skin types. It helps control excess oil production, exfoliates gently to reduce dullness, and provides balanced hydration, making it ideal for those with oily or combination skin concerns.
Will a glycolic acid moisturizer irritate my skin?
Glycolic acid can cause mild irritation, especially for sensitive skin or if overused. However, in this moisturizer, it's formulated alongside soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to minimize irritation while providing hydration and exfoliation benefits.
How often should I use a glycolic acid moisturizer?
For most people, using a glycolic acid moisturizer once daily, both in the morning and at night, can provide effective exfoliation and hydration. Start with less frequent use (e.g., every other day) if you have sensitive skin, and adjust based on how your skin responds.
Can I use a glycolic acid moisturizer in the morning and at night?
Yes, you can incorporate it into both your AM and PM skincare routines. Just ensure to follow up with sunscreen during the day, as AHAs like glycolic acid can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
Should I use other exfoliating products with a glycolic acid moisturizer?
It's generally not necessary to use additional exfoliating products alongside a glycolic acid moisturizer, as it provides exfoliation on its own. However, if you already use exfoliating treatments like masks or serums, consider adjusting your routine to avoid over-exfoliation.
What if my skin feels dry or irritated after using a glycolic acid moisturizer?
If you experience dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency of use or switch to using it every other day. Always follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
How long will it take to see results from using a glycolic acid moisturizer?
Results can vary, but you may start to notice improvements in skin texture and luminosity within a few weeks of consistent use. Continued use can lead to more significant benefits in skin smoothness and brightness over time.
