DESCRIPTION
Glycolic acid is perhaps the best-known of a group of chemicals called fruit acids or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA). It is derived from sugar cane, so it can be considered a natural product. Citric acid from oranges and other citrus fruits also fall under the same classification as glycolic acid. Industrial uses for this product include rust removal and degreasing, so pure glycolic acid - generally sold in concentrations of 70% or more - is extremely dangerous to exposed skin. In fact, the government considers any product with a concentration of over 10% to be a hazardous material. Most consumers know glycolic acid not from its industrial uses, but from its cosmetic ones. It is generally used as a natural skin exfoliant and moisturizer, although there is much debate over its safety and effectiveness. Some proponents suggest that products with a glycolic acid concentrations of less than 10% are practically useless. The problem is that many large-scale cosmetic producers will not increase the acid levels for fear of liability and class action lawsuits. Some smaller cosmetics companies with high-end clients do offer products with at least a 10% acid concentration. Instruction Step 1: Clean face and neck thoroughly. Step 2: Prepare skin with an alcohol/water solution (50/50 mixture). Step 3: Apply peel to face and neck area. Gently glide cotton ball unto skin, applying more pressure on areas that need added exfoliation. Step 4: Allow acid to sit on skin for 2-3 minutes. Step 5: Rinse thoroughly with warm water. If needed, use neutralizing solution to neutralize acid. This step is only necessary if you feel that the acid is too strong for your skin. Otherwise, rinsing thoroughly with warm water should suffice. Step 6: Apply a good skin hydrating, healing moisturizer unto treated area. We recommend our HA serum for faster healing time and best results. Step 7: Avoid SUNBURN Step 8: Repeat peel once a week.
