GLYCOLIC ACID MODE OF ACTION

  • Glycolic acid facilitates progressive weakening of cohesion of the intercellular material of the outermost layers of the skin (stratum corneum), resulting in uniform exfoliation.
  • Disrupts cellular junctions to exfoliate dead skin cells.
  • Reduce acne-related inflammation. 
  • Exhibit pH-dependent antibacterial activity against C. acnes. At a pH of 3-3.5, glycolic acid kills C. acnes cells by disrupting bacterial cell membranes.
  • Exhibit pH-dependent antibacterial activity against C. acnes. At a pH of 3-3.5, glycolic acid kills C. acnes cells by disrupting bacterial cell membranes.
  • Exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal the newer, brighter layers underneath by acting on the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). Normal, intact stratum corneum consists of tightly packed layers of dead skin cells tightly bonded together. Glycolic acid loosens these bonds. With their glue dissolved by glycolic acid, those tough, rough layers of dead skin cells can more easily slough away.
  • The small molecular size of glycolic acid allows for deeper penetration in the skin layers, where it stimulates fibroblasts to produce increased amounts of collagen. By stimulating collagen production, it helps skin feel firmer and minimises fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Inducing chemical exfoliation removes dead, damaged, and discoloured skin cells from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation faster. It drives new skin cells to the surface of the face. This spurred cell renewal helps to reveal the healthier, underlying skin, and promotes a more even skin tone overall. 
  • Glycolic acid suppresses melanin formation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. The topical use of the active ingredients in Glycolic gel is considered safe during pregnancy.
Ref: The American College Of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

Women want to look their best at this important time in their lives, so it's crucial to determine which products and ingredients are safe to use during pregnancy.

Except for the two prescription molecules, hydroquinone (which has a relatively high systemic absorption rate) and tretinoin (for which the evidence is limited and controversial), skincare products act locally and produce minimal systemic levels. In most cases, women can deal with these cosmetically unappealing skin conditions without compromising the safety of their unborn children.

No DermExcel™ product contains hydroquinone or tretinoin. These active ingredients are only available by prescription from a medical doctor.

DermExcel™ Retinol serum contains an active ingredient very similar to tretinoin. We, therefore, advise customers to discontinue the use of Retinol serum until after pregnancy.

For more information regarding the use of DermExcel™ products during pregnancy - please consult with your medical practitioner.

Apply Glycolic gel at night on cleansed skin.
Unless otherwise instructed by your medical practitioner or clinical advisor, do not apply any other product on top of Glycolic gel. By doing this you will alter the pH of Glycolic gel, making it less potent.

Apply Glycolic gel in the evening.

For sensitive skin or skin not used to active ingredients, follow the directions of use for sensitive skin. Please refer to the instructions for use at the top of the page.

Normal reactions may include stinging or burning, skin peeling, or skin irritation.

  • Contra-indications of Inflacin serum: Patients with a known allergy to any of the ingredients in Glycolic gel should not use it. 
  • Sensitive skin: For sensitive skin or skin not used to active ingredients, please refer to the top of the page for directions of use.
  • Resistant skin can usually apply Glycolic gel 3 x per week, or as tolerated by your skin type.
