How to use it
Apply 3 to 4 drops to the face and neck. The AHA in this serum may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun so apply in the evening only, and limit sun exposure for at least one week after using. The first application may cause slight redness while the skin gets used to glycolic acid. These effects fade after several uses. For optimal results, we recommend to use it consistently for four weeks.
Is this serum suitable for your skin type?
This serum is suitable for oily, dry and combination skin. It's not recommended for sensitive skin types or those with atopic skin concerns because it can trigger reactions or irritation.
Precautions

This serum contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) which can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and sunburn. Be sure to apply sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure both while using this serum and for at least one week afterwards.
To reduce the risk of skin irritation, do not apply multiple products containing AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid, etc.) and/or retinoids (retinol, retinyl esters...) in the same evening.

The actives
Glycolic acid (10%) is an exfoliating powerhouse for the upper layers of the skin and has astringent (pore tightening) and pore-cleansing properties. This then helps reduce the presence of blackheads, caused by the accumulation of sebum in the pores. Glycolic acid is the best known peel for the superficial layer of the skin. Dead cells bound together are found on the surface of the epidermis. Glycolic acid works by breaking up these bonds, making it easy to remove them. Thus, the skin is left with a rejuvenated, unified and toned upper layer. In addition to its peeling effect, glycolic acid also moisturises due to its stimulating effect on cell renewal and hyaluronic acid synthesis.
Mastic pistachio extract (2%):
The mastic tree as its known, grows on arid, rocky soils in the Mediterranean region. Its extract tightens pores, reduces shine and has an anti-comedogenic action. In other words, it reduces the appearance of blackheads.
Alpha-Bisabolol (0.2%):
Derived from candeia bark, alpha bisabolol is known for its anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory effects. As glycolic acid can be irritating, it is important to also include soothing active ingredients to avoid inflammation of the skin.
Chamomile extract (2%)
