Q: What does Alpha-H Liquid Gold do?
A: There are several potential benefits to using Alpha-H Liquid Gold Exfoliating Treatment with 5% Glycolic Acid. These include:
Improved skin texture and smoothness.
Enhanced radiance and glow.
Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Minimized pore appearance.
Improved absorption of other skincare products applied afterwards.
Potential help with mild hyperpigmentation and sun damage.

Q: How does glycolic acid exfoliation work?
A: Glycolic acid is a type of AHA that works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. This exfoliation process helps to remove the outer layer of dull, damaged skin cells, revealing the fresher, more youthful skin underneath. It can also stimulate collagen production, which may lead to firmer and smoother skin over time.

Q: What makes Liquid Gold different to other Glycolic Acid exfoliants?
The secret to Liquid Gold’s efficacy and global cult following is all in its unique formulation at a low pH. It’s the closest thing to a professional skin treatment you can get at home.

Q: How often should I use Liquid Gold?
A: Thanks to its low pH, you only need to use Liquid Gold 3 nights per week. Using it every night could actually over-exfoliate your skin, which we definitely don’t want to do. We love to use Liquid Gold on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights because that’s simple and easy to remember. On the alternate evenings we apply our usual vitamins, moisturisers, and serums.

Q: How long does it take for Alpha-H Liquid Gold to work?
A: Some people often report noticing a difference in their skin after just one use of Liquid Gold! Waking to a brightened, smoother complexion the next morning. For most significant results to show, skin often needs a full skin renewal cycle which is around 28 days.

Q: Why does Liquid Gold tingle… is this normal?
A: It’s normal to feel a tingling sensation on the skin after application. Don’t stress, it’ll linger for a few minutes before dissipating, revealing a fresher, firmer complexion and natural glow.

Q: Can Alpha-H Liquid Gold be used alongside other skincare products?
A: For best results, don’t apply a moisturiser over the top of Liquid Gold, as this will buffer the low pH and reduce the efficacy. If your skin is slightly sensitive or you prefer a more comfortable feel, apply Golden Haze Face Oil afterwards once your skin is touch dry.

Q: Who can use Liquid Gold?
A: Anyone adult who wants naturally fresh, radiant skin, and fast. Most skin types can use Liquid Gold - it's for anyone looking to even out skin tone and texture for extra GLOW. Time-poor people who need a one-step routine will love it, too.

Q: Is Liquid Gold safe for use during pregnancy?
A: Yes, Liquid Gold is perfectly safe for use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding/lactating. If unsure, always seek personalised advice from your medical professional.

Q: Is Liquid Gold cruelty-free?
A: Yes, Liquid Gold is cruelty-free! It is also made in Australia with locally-sourced botanical ingredients, without parabens, SLS/SLES and mineral oil.
