Product Information
Full details
Babaria Glycolic Acid Serum is a potent yet lightweight facial treatment designed for adults looking to improve skin texture and tone through effective exfoliation. By utilizing a blend of free and liposomal glycolic acid, glycerin, and panthenol, this serum works to remove dead skin cells while simultaneously moisturizing and soothing the complexion. While it is highly effective at renewing the skin, users should be aware that it can increase sun sensitivity, making the daily application of broad-spectrum sunscreen an essential part of the routine.

FAQs
Can I use this serum in the morning?
It is strongly recommended to use this serum at night because glycolic acid increases skin sensitivity to the sun.
Do I need to wear sunscreen while using this product?
Yes, daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen is mandatory to protect your skin from increased UV sensitivity caused by the exfoliation process.
Is this product safe for sensitive skin?
The formula includes soothing panthenol, but glycolic acid can be harsh for sensitive skin. Always perform a patch test first or consult a dermatologist.
How long does it take to see results?
While individual results vary, most users notice an improvement in skin texture and radiance after several weeks of consistent nightly use.
Can I layer this with other active ingredients like Retinol?
It is generally advised to avoid layering strong exfoliants with retinoids to prevent irritation. Consult a professional before combining potent actives.
Troubleshooting
Mild tingling upon application
A slight tingling sensation is common with glycolic acid; however, if it turns into burning or redness, wash off immediately and discontinue use.
Skin feeling dry or tight
Reduce frequency of use to every other night and ensure you are applying a hydrating moisturizer immediately after the serum absorbs.
Visible peeling or flaking
This may indicate over-exfoliation. Scale back your usage frequency and focus on barrier-repairing moisturizers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before integrating the Babaria Glycolic Acid Serum into your routine, it is essential to perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for adverse reactions. If you have a history of sensitive skin or specific dermatological conditions, consult a dermatologist before beginning use. Always ensure you are applying a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, as the exfoliating action of the glycolic acid exposes fresher layers of skin that are more vulnerable to UV damage. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the active ingredients.
