Frequently asked questions
Which glycolic product should I start with for dull, uneven texture?
Which glycolic product should I start with for dull, uneven texture?
Start with SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser daily, then bring in SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight two to three nights a week to resurface while you sleep. Glycolic 10 is a 10% glycolic night cream that smooths the look of texture and boosts radiance. Follow every morning with SPF, since freshly resurfaced skin needs protecting.
How do I use a glycolic night cream and toner without over-exfoliating?
How do I use a glycolic night cream and toner without over-exfoliating?
Apply SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight to dry skin at night, starting twice a week and increasing as tolerance builds. Use NeoStrata Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Lotion on alternate evenings rather than the same night. Keep SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner in rotation to rebalance skin's pH between treatments.
What makes glycolic acid different from other exfoliants?
What makes glycolic acid different from other exfoliants?
Glycolic acid is the smallest AHA molecule, so it penetrates evenly to loosen dull surface cells and reveal brighter, smoother-looking skin. That fine molecular size is why it drives the resurfacing in Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight and NeoStrata's Smoothing Lotion. Results in radiance and texture show across 4 to 6 weeks of steady use.
My skin is sensitive — how do I introduce glycolic safely?
My skin is sensitive — how do I introduce glycolic safely?
Begin with the rinse-off SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser, which gives glycolic contact without leaving acid on the skin. After two weeks, add a leave-on step twice weekly and buffer with moisturiser if you feel tightness. Skip glycolic entirely on any night you use retinol, to avoid overloading the barrier.
Which glycolic products suit oily, breakout-prone skin?
Which glycolic products suit oily, breakout-prone skin?
NeoStrata Clarify Oily Skin Solution Toner and the SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age range pair glycolic with blemish-clearing actives to refine the look of pores and shine. Swipe the Clarify toner after cleansing, morning and night, then follow with your treatment. This combination keeps oilier skin looking clearer and more even without heavy creams.
