What Glycolic Illuminator is:
A resurfacing, skin-evening AHA-BHA-PHA formulation of exfoliating acids with healing peptides.
30 Pack contains 30 Glycolic capsules + 5 Device cleaning capsules.
12 Pack contains 12 Glycolic capsules + 2 Device cleaning capsules.
What glycolic acid does:
Droplette's Glycolic Illuminator formulation reveals your skin's natural luminosity and clears away blemishes, while healing active imperfections
Why our glycolic acid formula works:
With a trifecta of AHA, BHA, and PHA exfoliants (including gluconolactone) combined with skin-restoring Niacinamide, this professional-strength formula makes skin baby soft. You will feel your complexion brightening and healing beneath the surface. As dead skin cells slough away, dermatologist-loved Tripeptide-1 repairs visible signs of sun exposure, for immediate and long-term clarifying effects.
What’s in the name?
Our Glycolic Illuminator Capsules are also associated with the code GA-03. GA stands for Glycolic Acid (the formulation’s lead ingredient) and 03 represents this serum’s placement on our 0-5 Sensitivity Scale (which we’ve adopted from the standard Clinician Erythema Assessment 5-point Grading Scale). Although we acknowledge that all skin reacts differently, we categorize this formula as irritation likely in terms of its potential irritative effects on sensitive skin.
