This luxuriant creme is abound with clinically proven skin care intensives with an impressive 15% glycolic acid, vitamin C, marine algae peptides to combat wrinkles, ageing and other skin and age concerns which all work in conjunction to rejuvenate the skin. It's a powerful cocktail that you will be quickly obsessed with! I saw an overall change in my skin which had already been overhauled by the other Glyco Skincare products I own and have reviewed already which you can read about here, I didn't know my skin could look even better!
It works in tandem with all of the other beneficial skincare product ingredients Glyco Skincare employs and has given my skin a vastly more plump, supple, complexion that is no longer developing pigmentation, deep wrinkles, sagginess, redness, texture, fine lines, and has replaced those negatives with these positives! it is firm, fresh, even toned, smooth and soft, vital, moisturised, hydrated, awake and so youthful!
The creme itself is rich in texture but feather light upon application and absorbs quickly; there is nothing worse than products that just sit on the skin's surface that end up on your pillow at night! It has a slight warming sensation due to the glycolic acid but it's so subtle I don't even notice it after a few applications; this formulation is created with the right ingredients to help buffer that tingling sensation that accompanies AHA products that are formulated with an effective ph level to perform exfoliation. It comes in traditional jar packaging with a product protection lid as the formula is too thick for an airless pump. I apply it everywhere, from face, neck, decolletage to the tops of my hands. You can use this up to twice a day.
This product is primarily formulated for dry to normal skin so if you have an oily and/or combination skin type it can be too rich for these skin types (which is what I have) , so its best to apply it in a minimal manner by taking a small amount and emulsifying between your fingers to break up the oils and then apply.
A very important note when using intensive actives like glycolic acid is that you must be vigilant with your sunscreen as your skin will be more prone to burning due to the application of this product. For optimum skin and personal health you should be using SPF products 365 days a year, Glyco Skincare also has an SPF moisturiser called Cellular Defence Day Creme SPF 15, you can read that review here.
*It is important to not apply the product if you have irritated skin and do not apply close to the eye contour.
