FAQs 

Can I use Glycolic Acid with Peptide Serum?

Combining two active ingredients can be risky, so you have to be careful with it. It’s not recommended to apply both of them at the same time. You can apply glycolic acid at night and with a time gap, apply Skin Revitalizing Peptide Serum in the morning. Or apply them on alternative days. 

Should I apply sunblock after using glycolic acid? 

Yes, it is mandatory to wear sunblock whenever you go outside. The glycolic acid works on skin lightening which makes skin sensitive to sunlight increasing the risk of sun tan or damage. Make sure to wear sunblock, and a good amount of moisturizer to keep the skin barrier intact.
