5% Glycolic Serum

Reveal smoother, brighter, more refined skin with the Face Reality 5% Glycolic Serum — a gentle yet effective AHA treatment crafted for acne-prone and textured skin. This water-based formula harnesses 5% glycolic acid, one of the most powerful alpha-hydroxy acids, to dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores while promoting healthy cell turnover. 

To enhance the treatment’s resurfacing power without compromising comfort, the serum includes Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract (Senestem™), a botanical active that supports skin firmness and elasticity, helps fade discoloration, and gives skin a smoother, more even texture. Meanwhile, glycerin hydrates and balances the skin to counteract potential dryness from exfoliation. 

The lightweight, fast-absorbing texture means it layers easily into your routine — ideal for evening use when paired with a gentle moisturizer. Over time, you’ll notice improved skin tone, reduced congestion, fewer blackheads, and a more radiant complexion. Because glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity, be sure to apply sunscreen the next morning. 

Note: This serum is formulated for use under the supervision of a Face Reality Certified Skincare Professional and is designed for non-inflamed acne types.
