sk.in avenge | glyco 10

The sk.in avenge | glyco-10 solution has been formulated with potent 10% glycolic acid to act as an at home chemical peel that requires no neutralisation, and contains other skin boosting ingredients to further help target and repair the skin barrier.

Its three primary goals are to:

1. Target specific skin concerns such as: ageing prevention, superficial hyperpigmentation, pored and textured skin, and fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Prevent intrinsic skin ageing and repair UV damage to the skin.
3. Maintain and repair the skin barrier.

By combining gently exfoliating glycolic acid with hydrating and skin barrier repairing ingredients, sk.in avenge | glyco-10 works to stimulate collagen + GAG (glycosaminoglycans) production, reduces inflammation and transepidermal water loss, softens fine lines, wrinkles and rough skin texture, increases tone and glow — and can be used by all skin types. However, those with overly sensitive skin or active skin lesions should consult a doctor before use.

cautions!

Do not use if the application causes ongoing sensitivity reactions.

how to use

Night-time use only.

Apply to cleansed skin every second to third night, or as directed by your cosmetic doctor, dermatologist, or skincare professional. Some skin types can tolerate more regular use. When using more frequently, please follow the introductory phase skin regime below.

Allow product to completely sink into the skin, then follow with your regular night-time products, such as sk.in bounce, sk.in flash, appropriate sk.in avenge serum and sk.in marvel. Always use a sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher that contains zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide during the day while using this product.

the introductory phase skin regime

Apply 0.5ml to 1 ml to the face and neck once a week at night for the first two to three weeks. If no skin reaction occurs, continue to apply sk.in avenge | glyco-10 once or twice weekly at night depending on skin tolerance. Some skin types may tolerate more frequent application.

If any sensitivity is experienced, stop using the product until the skin has recovered, then repeat the introductory phase described above. Your skin will then begin to acclimatize to the glycolic acid. Always use a sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher that contains zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide during the day when using this product.

formulation

sk.in avenge | glyco-10 contains a number of active skin targeting, repairing and ageing preventative ingredients: glycolic acid, d-panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and lecithin.

Glycolic acid is an alphahydroxy acid originally derived from sugar cane and has become one of the most popular alphahydroxy acids used in skincare products. It absorbs easily into the skin due to its small molecular size and its action is a gentle exfoliation of skin thereby enhancing cell turnover. This results in smoothing uneven skin tone, improving fine lines and wrinkles, and refining the appearance of pores.

Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid and is very effective when applied externally to the skin due to its smaller molecular size which allows deep penetration. It helps boost the skin’s moisture content, soothes inflammation, helps to repair and maintain the strength of the skin barrier, and prevents moisture loss.

D-panthenol is a biologically active form of vitamin B5 that has the ability to attract and hold moisture in the skin, improving hydration and texture.

Glycerin is a skin-replenishing and restoring ingredient that is naturally found in the skin. Glycerin’s main function in the skin is to keep it looking healthy and to improve hydration by maintaining the skin’s moisture content.

precautions

Do not use if application causes ongoing sensitivity reactions.
