Description

Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. This 7% toning solution offers mild exfoliation for improved skin radiance and visible clarity, while also improving the appearance of skin texture with continued use.
This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to provide comforting benefits to the skin. It is further supported with inclusion of ginseng root and aloe vera for both visible radiance and soothing benefits.

This pH of this formula is approximately 3.6 and Glycolic Acid has a pKa of 3.6. The pKa is the most important aspect to consider when formulating with acids as it implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing the effectiveness of the acid and reducing the potential of developing irritation. Higher pH values in such a case would increase the concentration of salt, which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. The formula is further supported with inclusion of ginseng root and aloe vera for both visible radiance and soothing benefits.
Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions.
Notes:
The Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative included in this formula is of plant origin and as such will vary in colour seasonally. This colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time.

    I’ve never seen such immediate results from a product before!!! After one use, I noticed my skin was plumper and smoother. I’ve been using it for about 5 days now and my pores appear smaller and my skin has never felt so smooth and moisturized.

    I smell like a bag of Whataburger hamburgers when I'm not wearing deodorant but I hate the residue. This kills those stinky fumes and keeps them at bay all day with no white cast or messy cleanup.

    This glycolic toner is an affordable alternative to a pricier product I used. AND it works just as well to keep my pores clear and blackhead free.

    I use this on my face a few times a week at night after taking my makeup off and washing my face. It definitely gives that super clean feeling, probably from alcohol in it. I started using this on my upper arms for little arm pimples and redness. It cleared it up so fast so now I do that all the time!

    I bought this to try and get rid of my strawberry legs and ingrowns. I saw results almost immediately. After one use I noticed my skin was softer and the redness had gone down a bit. After a week of using this on my legs my strawberry skin is 90% gone! I'm obsessed!

    I heared about the product, and decided to give it a try. I didn't see any results yet, as it take some time for it to work on fading dark spots. Will see how things will progress.

    I thought I'd try this one when I ran out of the regular brand I use. I didn't care for it at all. my face felt sticky and oily within minutes of application. I wasn't using too much and have never had issues with glycolic acid in the past. I'm 55 and do not have dry skin and avoid anything with extra moisturizing properties. I used The Ordinary retinol in the past and stopped it too when the formula changed. It also left my face oily and sticky. I'll stick with Pixi from now on.
