recovery on - exfoliating 10% glycolic acid
- recovery on -
ka-ching! that’s the sound we’ll get in the office after you read all about glycolic acid.
one of the most effective and widely used AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids, a type of exfoliators), glycolic acid is found naturally in plants and fruits, like sugar acne, pineapples and grapes. when used in skincare, it works wonders at treating blackheads, blemishes and uneven complexions, all while smoothing and softening your skin.
and how does it work? I hear you say.
well glycolic acid works by dissolving the glue that holds together your dead skin cells. so it lifts the pigment from your skin and increases collagen production, without tearing your skin apart, like an aggressive scrub or exfoliating brush.
we added chamomile to soothe the effect of glycolic acid. so make a point of using it regularly to actually see results.
and since we love a versatile product here, if you’ve got a dry scalp, apply it on your hair before your shower. Let it do its magic for 10-15 min before rinsing and proceeding with your usual shampoo and conditioner. It will feel tingly, but your scalp will be clearer and not sore at all.

our boosters are like supplements for your skin. you can add them to your daily regimen as standalone products or mix them with other products to improve their performance.
use recovery on at night to avoid light sensitivity. mix with serums, creams or masks, and apply to face and neck. or, apply 2-3 drops directly to your skin.
you can also apply to your hair to exfoliate your scalp and get rid of dandruff. it will also help retain moisture and prevent your hair from breaking.
note: you might get slightly red the first time you use it. not to worry, your skin’s just getting used to glycolic acid. these effects fade after several uses. for optimal results, we recommend to use it consistently for four weeks.
