GLYCOLIC ESSENCE is a skincare product designed to exfoliate and brighten the skin. It typically contains glycolic acid, which is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its ability to gently exfoliate the skin, helping to remove dead skin cells, improve texture, and promote a brighter, more even complexion. The essence is often used as part of a skincare routine after cleansing and before applying serums or moisturizers.
Here’s what makes Caudalie Glycolic Essence effective:
-
Exfoliation: The glycolic acid helps to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. This can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
-
Hydration: Caudalie products often contain ingredients that help to hydrate the skin as well, which is important when using exfoliating acids that might otherwise lead to dryness or irritation.
-
Brightening: Regular use of glycolic acid can help to even out the skin tone and reduce dullness, resulting in a brighter complexion.
-
Gentle Formula: Caudalie is known for using natural ingredients in their formulations. In addition to glycolic acid, the Glycolic Essence may also contain soothing plant-based ingredients to help calm and nourish the skin.
How to Use:
- After cleansing, apply a small amount of the essence to a cotton pad.
- Gently swipe it over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
- Follow up with your serum and moisturizer.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- Sun Sensitivity: AHA products like glycolic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. It’s important to wear sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.
- Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before using a product regularly, as glycolic acid can cause irritation for some people.
