KEY INGREDIENTS:
Glycolic Acid: An Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) often considered the gold standard in dermatology for skin exfoliation. Within
our formulas, it is recognized for its ability to increase skin surface cell turnover and help visibly improve skin tone and texture.
Kojic Acid: Derived from mushrooms, it is used in Glycolic B5 Serum to help visibly reduce skin discolorations.
Lipo-Hydroxy Acid: Also known as LHA, it's a derivative of salicylic acid, and has exfoliating and skin surface renewing properties.
Tranexamic Acid (TXA): Recognized by dermatologists, this
ingredient is used in Glycolic B5 Serum to help address the appearance of skin discolorations and the overall skin complexion.
Vitamin B5: Panthenol (provitamin B5) is a key ingredient used in some La Roche-Posay formulas to help the skin feel soothed and moisturized.
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: A soothing water sourced in the town of La Roche-Posay in France and a core ingredient in most of our products. It contains a unique combination of
minerals, trace elements, and a high concentration of selenium, a natural antioxidant.

DERMATOLOGIST INSIGHT
"Serums containing an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) help remove skin debris, oil and grease from skin pores, but may in turn increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Incorporating a daily sunscreen after applying an AHA-containing serum helps prevent sunburn and photosensitivity."
Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Hadley King

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynn328 from Diminishes the roughness and darkness of SK's This product smooths out my seborrhic keratosis areas (SK's), while not rated to do so I found it smooths and lightens them remarkably well. I'm able to ward off a new area that started by using this often. And it works well on the rest of my face, I use it along with the B3 Retinol Serum, truthfully it could be either one that does the job or both.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sch320 from Bravo! This serum is wonderful. My question is about the future, after results are achieved, is there a recommended routine? Switch to every other night? Once per week? What happens if you stop usage?
