WAAM Concentrated Glycolic Acid Serum contains 10% pure glycolic acid for a gentle yet effective exfoliation that reveals smoother, more luminous skin. Glycolic acid belongs to the AHA family of fruit acids and is known for its peeling effect: this glycolic serum lifts away the dead cells that build up on the surface, so skin feels softer and its texture looks refined. It is also astringent and helps improve the look of imperfections. It comes in a 30ml glass dropper bottle.

Key Benefits

  • Peeling effect: it exfoliates the surface of the skin for a smoother texture.
  • Radiance: it brings glow and luminosity back to dull, uneven skin.
  • Imperfections: astringent, it helps improve the look of imperfections on combination to oily skin.
  • Soft, hydrated feel: it leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
  • Scalp: once a week, it gently exfoliates the scalp.

Key Ingredients

Glycolic acid, at 10%, is the exfoliating active of this serum. Glycerin and butylene glycol help hold moisture, and xanthan gum gives a soft gel texture. Sodium hydroxide adjusts the pH, and no fragrance is added.

How to Use

In the evening, after removing makeup, cleansing and drying the skin, place a few drops of serum in your hand and apply to the face. Massage gently until absorbed, then apply a moisturizer. Glycolic acid can increase sensitivity to the sun: apply sunscreen every day, especially the day after use. On the scalp, apply a few drops to clean, dry skin once a week and massage in.

What does WAAM Concentrated Glycolic Acid Serum do?

Its 10% glycolic acid, an AHA, has an exfoliating peeling effect that removes dead cells from the surface of the skin. WAAM explains that the skin looks smoother and more luminous, feels softer, and that the look of imperfections improves.

Which skin types suit WAAM Concentrated Glycolic Acid Serum?
