Product Information

Full details

The Pestle & Mortar Exfoliate Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Solution is designed for individuals seeking to brighten dull skin and clear persistent clogged pores through professional-grade chemical exfoliation. Its primary benefit is a visibly smoother, more rejuvenated complexion achieved by accelerating cell turnover; however, users with highly sensitive skin should exercise caution, as glycolic acid can cause irritation if used too frequently or without adequate sun protection.

FAQs

Can I use this product every day?

While some users can tolerate daily use, it is generally recommended to start 2-3 times per week and increase frequency based on your skin's tolerance.

Do I need to rinse it off?

No, this is a leave-on treatment designed to be absorbed into the skin. Simply let it dry before applying your moisturizer.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Glycolic acid can be potent. If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test and limit use to ensure no significant irritation occurs.

Can I use this with Vitamin C?

It is generally advised to avoid using strong acids and Vitamin C at the same time to prevent irritation. Use them at different times of the day or on alternate days.

How long will the travel size last?

Usage longevity depends on how much you apply, but it is typically designed to last for several weeks of regular travel use.

Should I wear sunscreen while using this?

Yes, it is essential to wear broad-spectrum SPF every day while using this product as AHAs can make your skin more susceptible to sun damage.

Troubleshooting

Skin feels red or irritated after application

Reduce frequency of use to every other night or every third night and ensure you are not over-exfoliating.

Product is not absorbing well

Ensure your skin is completely clean and dry before application; damp skin can sometimes make active ingredients penetrate too quickly.

Experiencing breakouts

This may be an initial 'purging' phase as pores clear; if it persists for more than two weeks, discontinue use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively brightens dull skin
  • Helps clear clogged pores and blackheads
  • Compact size is excellent for travel

  • Easy to integrate into evening skincare routines

Cons

  • May cause sensitivity or tingling for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the solution, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for adverse reactions. Once confirmed safe, apply to clean, dry skin. This product is compatible with most non-acidic moisturizers, which should be applied afterward to lock in hydration. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the formula. Always remember to apply broad-spectrum SPF the following morning, as glycolic acid increases skin sensitivity to sunlight.
