Get Maximum Benefits From Glycolic Peel
Glycolic peel is one of the mild chemical peel procedures. Glycolic acid is one of the AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids).
Peeling with glycolic acid is extremely popular nowadays. It could be used by nearly everyone from early to mature ages. Low-concentrated glycolic acid topical products (5-10 %) are good to use on a daily basis for gentle skin exfoliation, renewal, improving skin color, and preventing acne.
Concentrations of glycolic acid usually differ from 25% at the beginning to 70% at the end of the procedures, raising peel concentration when skin adapts to the lower one. Glycolic acid peels affect the top skin layer. It allows the removal of dead cells from the skin surface to improve and even skin tone, preventing acne, and reproduction of acne-elements.
Glycolic acid is recommended for preventive maintenance of changes in epidermis, but has little effect on correction of biological signs of decreased skin elasticity and tone. However, due to the exfoliating abilities and dead cell removal, it hastens cell the turnover process, which stimulates the appearance of collagen and elastin.

It is not recommended to use glycolic acid peel more than once in a 7 day period.
Skin becomes more photo-sensitive than normal. It is recommended to use a sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher (depending on the sun activity), after using skin peel products.
How To Use Glycolic Peeling At Home
It is best to seek professional skin-care advice on what concentration of glycolic acid peel is best for your skin. If you have already used glycolic peeling, you probably know what concentration of glycolic acid you can start from.
In order for skin to adjust, use an AHA topical product 5-10% everyday for at least two weeks before glycolic acid peel.
Start applications in the evening time. On clean dry face and neck apply acid with a brush or a cotton ball. Avoid skin around and under eyes. Leave acid on skin for about 5 minutes.
In your peeling kit you should have a neutralizing product. Apply it on face and neck after washing the acid peel off. If you don’t have a neutralizer, use 1 teaspoon of baking soda in ¼ glass of clean water.
Repeat the procedure after at least 7 days.
You will likely experience skin irritation, redness, and flaking which is a normal reaction to chemical peels.
