Press

β€œThis is a new brand I’ve been testing out and I’m really impressed with the Glycolic Glow Treatment. I am already a huge fan of chemical exfoliators and this one features 4% glycolic acid and PHAs so it’s a strong but gentle exfoliating emulsion that removes dead skin cells.

Our Approach

  • Why It Works

    We formulated this exfoliating treatment as an emulsion rather than a traditional aqueous toner. Why? The combination of squalane and cold pressed seed oils support the skin barrier while glycolic acid gets to work, reducing irritation.

  • Derm Tip

    Glycolic acid is the smallest alpha hydroxy acid by molecular size, allowing it to better penetrate the skin and exfoliate away dead skin cells. Featuring glycolic acid at a concentration of 4% ensures tolerability even for those with sensitive skin.

  • Who We Are

    Dermatologist-developed. Real clinical experience informs how we build products and utilize ingredients. Refillable & recyclable packaging protects products from air, light and dirty fingers, so you'll experience clinical results until the last pump.
