10% Glycolic Serum
The Maximum-Strength Resurfacing Treatment for Resistant Bumps and Deep Congestion
When persistent under-the-skin bumps refuse to budge, it’s time to upgrade your exfoliation. The Face Reality 10% Glycolic Serum is a high-potency, professional-grade Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) treatment engineered for resilient, oily, and combination skin types. Because glycolic acid has the smallest molecular weight of all AHAs, it penetrates the pores quickly and deeply. At a concentrated 10% strength, this water-based corrective serum aggressively dissolves stubborn surface buildup, flushes out heavy pore congestion, and shatters the firm, pebble-like plugs trapped beneath the skin.
Why You’ll Love It
The Ultimate Step-Up Formula: The perfect solution for individuals who have successfully acclimated to the 5% Glycolic Serum but hit a plateau before achieving total clarity.
Shatters Maturation Arrest Acne: Specifically built to target and dissolve those hard, stubborn, hidden "pebble" bumps and closed comedones that lie deep beneath the surface and never form a visible head.
Erases Deep Blackheads: Dives straight into the follicle lining to break up and loosen compacted, oxidized sebum plugs, dramatically refining the appearance of enlarged pores.
Advanced Resurfacing & Anti-Aging: Promotes intensive cellular turnover to rapidly sweep away rough texture, fine lines, and dullness, revealing a smooth, polished, glassy complexion.
Lifts Post-Acne Marks: Accelerates skin renewal to push stubborn dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) to the surface so they fade away faster.
How It Feels
Texture: A lightweight, clean, water-based fluid gel.
Absorption: Sinks into the skin completely within seconds without leaving any sticky or heavy film.
Skin Feel: Instantly tightens and smooths the surface. Upon application, a pronounced, clinical "tingling" sensation is normal and expected as the active 10% acid goes to work. It leaves the skin feeling deeply purified, smooth, and entirely matte.
Key Ingredients
10% Glycolic Acid: A high-level alpha-hydroxy acid that provides intensive, uniform exfoliation inside the follicle to clear tough impactions and promote rapid tissue renewal.
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract: An advanced botanical antioxidant that helps minimize irritation, calms redness, and visibly improves skin firmness and elasticity.
Witch Hazel Water: A natural botanical astringent that purifies the skin, balances daytime shine, and provides gentle anti-inflammatory support.
Glycerin: A pore-safe, classic humectant that floods the skin barrier with essential hydration to balance out the intense exfoliation process.
How to Use
Shake well before use. In the evening after cleansing and toning, apply 1 pump of product evenly over the entire face (or as a targeted spot treatment on stubborn zones like the nose, forehead, and chin), avoiding the delicate eye area entirely. Allow it to absorb completely for 1 to 2 minutes before layering your hydrators, moisturizers, or evening active treatments.
Esthetician Tip & Professional Protocol: This is a highly active treatment product and should not be used by beginners. Only move up to this strength if your skin tolerated the 5% Glycolic Serum daily without any dryness, flaking, or redness. Introduce it slowly—start with 2 to 3 nights a week, using a gentle hydrator like HydraBalance underneath to buffer the acid. Do not layer with other strong active treatments on the same night, and always apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day!
