Who will benefit from using the QRxLabs Glycolic Acid Gel Peel?

As it contains 50% Glycolic Acid, QRxLabs considers this to be a ‘medium peel’, so it’s best if you have already used a lower percentage peel first, so that your skin is used to a certain percentage of glycolic acid. The FDA recommends that face peels over 10% AHA are applied by a trained professional, because great care must be taken to not leave the gel on your skin for too long, as it can burn your skin.

You can benefit from a 50% Glycolic Acid gel face peel if you have not found the results you wanted from lower percentage peels. Problems such as acne, persistent pigmentation patches, deep blackheads and fine lines, may all be improved by using one of these stronger exfoliants. Glycolic Acid also encourages the production of collagen, so if one of your problems is a loss in definition along your jaw line or your cheeks, then you might well benefit from using this product.

Benefits of Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid is a member of the Alpha Hydroxy Acid family (AHA), which are natural exfoliants. Glycolic Acid has the smallest molecular size of the AHAs, so it can more easily penetrate the layers of your skin, removing dead skin cells and other debris that collect in your pores and the surface of your skin. All of this debris blocks your pores, creating blackheads and some forms of mild acne, whilst on the surface of your skin it creates a barrier preventing moisturizers and serums from penetrating your skin.

This means that your skin often looks dirty, grey, tired and blemished and when you spend lots of money on good quality moisturizers and serums, they just sit on top of your skin, doing nothing! One of the biggest complaints about skincare products is that they don’t work and it’s often because these products aren’t being absorbed by your skin – due to all the debris that’s accumulated on your skin forming an impenetrable barrier.  Glycolic Acid removes this barrier, allowing your other skin care products to work effectively and leaving your skin clear, fresh and healthy.

FYI: Remember that the greater the percentage of Glycolic Acid, the stronger the exfoliation, so always read the instructions and if unsure, talk to your medical professional before using these stronger gel face peels. 

Benefits of Chamomile
