Glycolic Moisturising Cream is an effective treatment for dry, mature and problem skin and has a content of 10% Glycolic Acid. Exfoliating yet nourishing the light formula is easily absorbed. It is recommended for these skin types for day time use and is ideal for oily or spotty skins that can become a little dry when using gels or oil free based lotions. Suitable for all skin types, if you have sensitive skin we recommend you do a patch test.

How does it work?
Alpha-hydroxy acids are naturally occurring acids, derived from the sugars of selected plants and fruits such as Sugar Cane, Grapes, Citrus Fruits, Apples and Bitter Almonds. These acids perform at the base of the stratum corneum, dissolving the ‘glue’ that holds dead skin cells together. Because this increases cell turnover, skin becomes smoother, more elastic and more even in tone and texture.

At the same time Glycolic Acid also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin and keeps it elastic and line free; when this starts to disintegrate, skin begins to sag and wrinkle. Replacing the collagen your skin has lost with age can help diminish crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines, and vertical lines around the lips.

* Acne

Skincare tips
When using any product containing glycolic acid you must use a moisturiser with a SPF of at least 15 during the day, if you plan on sunbathing or visiting a hot climate use a minimum factor 25.

Apply a small amount of moisturiser using gentle, upwards strokes over the face and neck twice a day after cleansing and toning.

DO NOT USE If you're pregnant/breastfeeding, under the age of 17, if you are undergoing any kind of intense beauty treatment (microdermabrasion, glycolic acid (at a salon) treatment, Retin-a, laser therapy etc) or if you're on medication which increases the skins sensitivity such as roaccutane and BP
