What is Glycolic Acid? Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring AHA acid derived from cane sugar. 99% of the AHAs used in the beauty industry are synthetically produced, but here at ASDM Beverly Hills, our glycolic acid is naturally sourced from cane sugar. Topically applying glycolic acid helps to chemically exfoliate the epidermis, removing dead & dull skin and bringing new skin to the surface. Glycolic acid stimulates the formation of new collagen, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its small molecular size allows it to penetrate the outer layer of skin, allowing it to slip beneath the epidermis, to reach the collagen fibers below. Are your peels buffered? All of our glycolic peels are unbuffered, conserving their high strength and low pH level. For this reason we strongly suggest starting at 10% and slowly moving up in strength as your skin adjusts to the peel. We carry glycolic acid from 10% to 70%. Directions Step 1: Remove makeup Step 2: Cleanse face with an oil-free cleanser and pat dry. Step 3: Smooth ASDM Beverly Hills Pre Peel Treatment Pad over face avoiding eye and lip area Step 4: Once dry, apply chemical peel as instructed in packaging. Step 5: Leave on 1-5 minutes. Watch for redness, if too much redness or pain occurs immediately neutralize peel. Step 6: To neutralize peel, apply several pumps of Post Peel Treatment Serum unto clean fan brush included with packaging. Apply liberally unto face. You can apply several layers of product unto face until you've completely covered all treatment areas. Upon application, you will feel a warm, tingling sensation which is normal. Mild foaming is also expected as acid is being neutralized. Once foaming action has ceased, acid has been fully neutralized. Regardless, leave on for a full 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
