Achieve micropeel results at home! This 10% Glycolic Acid blended with 5% Hawaiian Algae Peptides is a very effective way to remove dead cell build up from skin surface and in your pores. Since dead cell build up gives rise to acne/enlarged pores, this is an excellent daily product for acne-prone individuals. Also, since dead cells store excess skin pigment, you will want to try this product if you have uneven pigment or dark spots from the sun, aging, or as the aftermath of old acne.
Since this product has a low 3.5 pH, it will help increase cell renewal rate (the rate at which you shed dead cells), so that typically you will see a true improvement in your appearance within the first several days of use! Because of the glycolic content of this product, you should also use our Complexion Protection SPF 30+ before and during sun exposure.

I have used this daily since 1994. Does what it says it will do and any skin type can use this, not just people with acne. I am over 40 and it does not dry up my skin. I use this in the AM, because I use Retin A at night. It helps keep my skin smooth and help melasma.
