Description

Clinical-Grade Skin Resurfacing and Renewal for Dull, Textured, and Aging Skin

This high-performance topical formulation blends two dermatology gold-standard actives—Glycolic Acid (20%) and Retinoic Acid (0.025%)—to deliver multi-layered skin renewal for patients with rough texture, uneven tone, photoaging, or persistent acne. The dual-action formula exfoliates the skin’s surface while accelerating cellular turnover in the deeper layers, improving overall skin clarity, smoothness, and radiance over time.

Designed for nighttime use under dermatological supervision, this gel is ideal for those seeking visible improvement in skin tone, acne scarring, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation without undergoing invasive procedures.

Key Benefits

• Refines skin texture and reduces surface roughness

• Promotes cellular turnover for brighter, fresher skin

• Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Fades post-acne marks, melasma, and sun-induced pigmentation

• Reduces clogged pores and active breakouts

• Stimulates collagen remodeling for long-term anti-aging benefits

• Ideal for pre-treatment or maintenance in clinical skin rejuvenation regimens

Dual Active Ingredients and Their Mechanism

Glycolic Acid 20%
A naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells in the stratum corneum, allowing them to shed more easily. At a professional concentration of 20%, it performs a chemical exfoliation, clearing the surface of dull, rough, or pigmented cells. This improves the skin’s tone, texture, and clarity while enhancing the penetration of other actives like retinoic acid.

Retinoic Acid 0.025% (Tretinoin)
A prescription-strength retinoid and vitamin A derivative, retinoic acid accelerates keratinocyte turnover and supports the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. It improves epidermal thickness, reduces fine lines, fades dark spots, and controls oil production. When used in combination with glycolic acid, it enhances dermal rejuvenation while helping normalize skin functions over time.

Indications

This product is intended for the topical treatment of:

• Photoaged skin with fine lines, dullness, and pigmentation

• Atrophic acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

• Textural irregularities and rough patches

• Comedonal and mild inflammatory acne

• Melasma and sun-induced pigmentation disorders

• Thickened, keratinized skin from environmental damage or aging

This formula is especially effective for Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV and should be used under physician guidance in more melanin-rich skin to avoid irritation or post-inflammatory darkening.

Directions for Use

1. Begin with clean, dry skin.

2. Apply a pea-sized amount evenly to the affected area once daily at night.

3. Avoid sensitive regions such as eyes, mouth, and nostrils.

4. If dryness or irritation occurs, reduce frequency to every other night and follow with a moisturizer.

5. During the day, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), as both glycolic acid and retinoic acid increase sun sensitivity.

Visible improvements are generally seen within 2 to 4 weeks, with full benefits over 8 to 12 weeks of continued use.

Treatment Expectations

Mild to moderate peeling, redness, or dryness may occur during the initial phase of treatment, which is a normal part of the adjustment process. Skin adaptation usually occurs within 2–3 weeks. Avoid combining with other exfoliating or irritating agents unless prescribed.

Safety and Precautions

• For external use only

• Do not apply to broken, eczematous, or sunburned skin

• Not recommended during pregnancy or lactation unless directed by a healthcare provider

• Discontinue if excessive redness, burning, or blistering occurs

• Avoid concurrent use with other strong acids, benzoyl peroxide, or alcohol-based products unless advised

• Use sunscreen daily to protect skin and prevent recurrence of pigmentation

Storage Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place between 15–25°C (59–77°F)

• Keep tube tightly closed and away from direct sunlight

• Do not freeze

• Keep out of reach of children

Who Should Use This Product?

This gel is suited for:

• Adults seeking visible skin resurfacing without in-office procedures

• Patients with early signs of aging, including fine lines and pigmentation

• Individuals with textural acne scars or uneven tone

• Those undergoing or maintaining chemical peel regimens

• Users who tolerate retinoids and desire a more intensive resurfacing protocol

Not suitable for extremely sensitive skin types or those new to retinoid or acid-based therapies without physician consultation.
