Glycolic acid for sensitive skin
Glycolic acid peels are a popular treatment – both in dermatologists’ offices and in many of today’s hottest spas. Clients with acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores and superficial wrinkles on the face and neck can all benefit from glycolic acid.
However, there is some concern with using glycolic on sensitive skin.
Most dermatologists and estheticians agree a lower percentage of glycolic acid should initially be used on sensitive skin clients, and then gradually move up to a higher percentage if the client’s reactivity to it is tolerable.
BioMedic is an excellent product line with glycolic formulas that can be used on mild to moderate sensitive skin. The formulation of the administered glycolic is gentle yet very effective. BioMedic offers a 15-30% glycolic acid peel, which can be performed by a dermatologist or esthetician.
