Why use glycolic acid lotion?

Glycolic acid is a member of the AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) family. It is distinguished by its ability to gently exfoliate the skin while boosting hydration. Used as a toner, it helps eliminate dead cells responsible for dullness, to reveal smoother, brighter skin.

Incorporating an exfoliating toner into your routine helps stimulate cell renewal, reduce pigmentation spots and refine skin texture. At Oh My Cream, we recommend this simple gesture for all skin types wishing to enhance the overall effectiveness of their other skincare products, while enjoying an immediate sensation of freshness and clarity.

What are the benefits of an exfoliating lotion enriched with glycolic acid?

An exfoliating lotion based on glycolic acid offers numerous benefits that are rapidly visible, whatever the skin type. Its keratolytic action goes beyond simple cleansing, gradually restoring radiance and vitality.

This type of product helps to even out skin tone, reduce pores and gradually diminish stubborn imperfections. With regular use, the skin's surface appears smoother, while irregularities fade.

Enhanced radiance and even skin tone

From the very first applications, glycolic acid lotion enhances the natural radiance of the face. By ridding the skin of dead cells, it helps restore a visibly fresher, more even complexion. It also targets brown spots and residual marks.

The complexion looks less blotchy and more luminous, even without make-up. This intelligent skin care product is particularly appealing to those looking for a "new skin" effect without aggressing their skin.

Smoothes skin texture and reduces pores

The exfoliating action accelerates cell renewal and smoothes skin texture. Roughness gradually disappears, giving way to a silky-smooth feel. Over time, skin texture becomes more even.

The lotion also helps reduce the appearance of pores. Skin looks smoother and clearer, immediately feeling refreshed and comfortable.

How can glycolic acid lotion be incorporated into your routine?

To optimize results, we recommend that you gradually incorporate this exfoliating toner after cleansing your skin. Just a few strokes are all it takes to take full advantage of its properties and avoid any sensation of discomfort.

Applied in the evening with a cotton pad or directly with the hands, exfoliating lotion prepares the skin to receive serum and moisturizing cream. It can be used several times a week, or even daily if skin tolerance permits. However, it is essential to adapt the frequency of use to individual skin sensitivity.

Who should use glycolic acid-rich lotion?

The exfoliating lotion is suitable for most skin types, including combination to oily or blemish-prone skin. The concentration of glycolic acid in the lotions you'll find on the Oh My Cream shelves helps respect the skin's balance, while offering visible effectiveness.

For sensitive skin, we recommend spacing out applications and choosing a gentle formula combining soothing active ingredients. The most important thing is to listen to your skin and adjust your use according to how you feel. Here are a few signs that an exfoliating lotion can be beneficial:

• Dull complexion lacking luminosity

• Presence of pigmentation spots and light scars

• Irregular or rough skin texture

• Correct dilated pores

• Need to boost hydration through better penetration of the following skincare products

Precautions and tips for successful exfoliation

When applying glycolic acid lotion, you need to take a few simple precautions to ensure your skin remains comfortable and safe. It's essential to avoid direct exposure to the sun immediately after use, and to systematically apply appropriate sun protection. This habit limits the risk of sensitization and prolongs the benefits of the treatment.

Remember to moisturize your skin after exfoliation. Good hydration helps strengthen the skin barrier and limit feelings of tightness. For those who wish to combine several exfoliating treatments in their routine, the ideal solution is to alternate textures or space out applications so as not to weaken the epidermis.

How often should I use glycolic acid lotion?

The frequency of application depends on each skin's tolerance level. We generally recommend gradual use: two or three times a week for the first few weeks. If your skin reacts well, you can then gradually increase the frequency to a daily application, but only in the evening. It's essential to observe your skin's reactions and always adjust your routine accordingly. Of course, our Oh My Cream experts will always be on hand to help you adopt glycolic acid in the best way without irritating or sensitizing your skin. 

Can the lotion be combined with other skin care products?

A glycolic acid-based exfoliating toner can be easily integrated into most routines. Just remember to moisturize your skin after application with a serum or emollient cream. By boosting hydration, you provide greater comfort while nourishing the epidermis. Adopting an exfoliating lotion also maximizes the penetration of functional active ingredients in the formulas used in the rest of your routine.

For the most expert routines, combining the lotion with antioxidant or moisturizing treatments offers complementary synergies. Just be sure to consult one of our experts in Oh My Cream boutiques or by e-mail at contact@ohmycream.com, before mixing several exfoliating active ingredients (such as AHAs, BHAs or retinoids) to avoid over-stimulating the skin or creating a risk of irritation.
