Important: Always use a daytime SPF when using products with Glycolic Acid or other AHAs. Do not use on irritated, peeling or broken skin.

TIP: If you haven't used Glycolic Acid products before, you might like to build up use gradually. Start by using every other night to see how your skin tolerates the product. If irritation occurs, use less frequently.
