Collection: 10% Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid | Retexture

Best for: Resurfacing, renewal 

What it is:

Glycolic Acid is the original alpha hydroxy acid — derived from sugar cane, and prized in skincare for one simple reason: it works. In AHA Firming & Brightening Crème, it's used at a high-purity, 10% concentration, held at an optimal low pH to do real, visible resurfacing work.

How it works:

Glycolic Acid has the smallest molecule of any AHA, which means it penetrates efficiently and gets straight to work. It loosens the bonds holding dulling, dead surface cells together, so they lift away more easily and reveal the fresher, smoother skin underneath. The result: visible improvement in texture, clarity, and radiance, plus support for skin's natural renewal and cell turnover. 

Why 10%:

It might be tempting to assume more acid means more results — but skin doesn't work that way. 10% is the concentration best aligned with how leave-on AHA products are meant to perform: strong enough for real, visible resurfacing, and usable by a much broader range of skin types and experience levels. It's not a lighter dose of exfoliation — it's the smarter one, especially paired with the moisture and tone support the rest of the formula provides. 

When you'll see it working: 

Smoothness begins from the very first use. Visible improvements in texture and clarity build with consistent use over the following weeks, as skin's natural renewal cycle catches up with the resurfacing work already underway.
