Glycolic Acid is one of the most powerful and effective alpha hydroxy acids and is a luxurious alternative to harsh scrubs or peel off face masks. It has the ability to increase cell turnover which leaves the skin brighter and with a healthy glow. Regular use of glycolic acid can diminish the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and discolouration, revealing a brighter and more youthful-looking complexion.
What is Glycolic Acid Peel?
Also known as the ‘Lunchtime Peel’, chemical peels are perfect for those with busy schedules who still want to maintain their skin’s health and vitality.
Glycolic Acid is an Alpha hydroxy acid or AHA that works to increase cell turnover - something that slows down as we age. The dead skin on our face and body is held on by a glue-like substance, but glycolic acid helps to dissolve this glue which then causes the dead skin to simply fall off. This process reveals the new, younger skin underneath and gives you an instantly radiant complexion.
What is Glycolic Acid Peel?
The Glycolic Acid 10% Peel is a powerful chemical exfoliator designed to rejuvenate and refresh your skin. It contains a potent concentration of glycolic acid, which helps to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover effectively. Because of its small molecular size, glycolic acid can penetrate deeply into the skin, revealing a brighter and more youthful complexion. However, it is important to follow the usage instructions to achieve the best results.
The Benefits of Vitamin B5
This formulation is further amplified with Vitamin B5, known for its hydrating properties. Vitamin B5 not only helps soothe the skin but also enhances the skin's barrier function, thereby keeping moisture locked in. So, using this peel not only exfoliates your skin but also nourishes it, leading to a radiant and healthy glow. Furthermore, it helps reduce redness and irritation, making it suitable for various skin types.
How to Use the Glycolic Acid Peel
To maximize the benefits of the Glycolic Acid 10% Peel, apply it to clean, dry skin in a thin layer. Leave it on for a recommended time, usually around 10 minutes, before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. It's advisable to use it once a week and incorporate a sunscreen in your daily routine, as exfoliating can make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure. Therefore, consistency is key for achieving visible results.

What can glycolic acid help with?
Glycolic acid supports clearer, smoother, and brighter skin by targeting:
-
Breakouts and blackheads
How Does It Work?
How is this good for spots, blackheads and enlarged pores? The most common reason we get breakouts is when hair follicles get clogged by dead skin cells and sebum - the oil your skin naturally produces. Bacteria multiply within the clogged pores and so spots and blackheads form. By removing the dead skin cells you are also removing the grime and excess oil that's blocking up the pores and exposing fresh, healthy skin.
Most people report that with regular use of AHA products, their once very oily skin becomes more balanced, the less oil your skin produces, the less oil there is to get trapped.
Glycolic acid will also help to reduce the appearance of blemishes and discolouration left over from breakouts.
If you suffer with deep blackheads, use the glycolic acid in conjunction with our Salicylic Acid 2%.
If you have acne- Acne is a medical condition, while a good skincare routine is important and can help improve the condition of your skin, acne often requires medical treatment, a good skincare routine is important for acne prone skin and will support your treatment but will not treat acne.
Active Ingredients
Our formula is 70% aloe vera, achieved by using a highly concentrated aloe vera powder instead of traditional gel. This approach is more cost-effective and eco-friendly. Aloe vera powder is lighter and requires far less space for transport, significantly reducing the carbon footprint compared to the bulkier gel. Additionally, it has a longer shelf life and is easier to store, helping to minimise waste. Using powder allows for precise formulation, ensuring that each product contains a high concentration of aloe’s beneficial compounds, like antioxidants and enzymes, while supporting more sustainable practices in the production and distribution process
FAQ
How does it help with ageing skin?
The top dead layers of our skin are dull, dry and grey and don’t reflect the light, this makes us look older than we really are. By removing these dried out skin cells with glycolic acid, you will have a natural and beautiful glow, the appearance of fine lines, breakouts, blemishes and discolouration will reduce and your skin will just look so much healthier and more youthful.
Glycolic acid may also stimulate your skin to create more collagen, giving you a youthful and radiant appearance. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin and it plays a vital role in keeping your skin elastic and wrinkle-free. As we age, our collagen production decreases, which can lead to saggy, wrinkled skin. The Bravura London Glycolic Acid Peel can help reduce the appearance of premature ageing by encouraging your skin to produce more collagen. This stunning results will leave you with fresher, younger looking skin.
Using glycolic acid regularly means you are constantly renewing and regenerating the skin. As we age our skin can also get thinner, this can leave the skin looking uneven in tone, lacklustre and a little sallow, glycolic acid may help to thicken the skin which can help our skin appear more youthful.
No topical treatments can reverse deep scarring but the Glycolic Acid peels will help to make your skin smoother, and the indentations a little softer.
I’m pregnant or breastfeeding, can I use Glycolic Acid?
This is all down to personal choice. As we don't test on animals our products haven't been tested for safety during pregnancy but here are no safety concerns regarding the use of glycolic acid during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
