Face Reality 5% Glycolic Serum
A potent, water-based exfoliating serum that helps remove dead skin cell buildup to reveal smoother, brighter, and more refined-looking skin. Its 5% glycolic acid formula supports skin renewal and is especially useful for non-inflamed acne, congestion, rough texture, and dullness.
BEST FOR
All skin types as directed by an Acne Expert, especially non-inflamed acne, closed comedones, blackheads, clogged pores, rough texture, and dull-looking skin. Not the first choice for actively inflamed, irritated, or compromised skin.
KEY BENEFITS
• Intensely exfoliates and renews the skin
• Helps loosen dead skin cell buildup associated with congestion
• Supports clearer-looking pores and non-inflamed acne
• Smooths rough, uneven-looking texture
• Brightens dull-looking skin
• Helps improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity
• Lightweight, water-based formula absorbs quickly
HOW TO USE
Shake well. Skin should be clean and free of irritation before applying. Use 1 pump, or the amount directed by your Acne Expert, after cleansing and toning. Introduce gradually according to your personalized routine. Follow with moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
GOOD TO KNOW
This is a stronger, faster-penetrating exfoliating acid and should not be layered with other exfoliants unless instructed. Do not apply to inflamed, irritated, freshly treated, or compromised skin. Pause and contact your skincare professional if persistent burning, tightness, or irritation develops.
NATALEE’S TAKE
This one is really good for non-inflamed acne—the stubborn clogged pores, closed comedones, blackheads, and rough buildup that sit under the skin. I use it strategically when the skin needs stronger exfoliation, but I would not reach for it when breakouts are angry, inflamed, or the barrier is compromised.
KEY INGREDIENTS
5% glycolic acid, Plantago lanceolata leaf extract, glycerin, and witch hazel water.
Size: 1 oz
