Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight is formulated with a free acid value of 10% glycolic acid, allowing it to work at a true 10% concentration proven optimal in promoting effective exfoliation and natural cell turnover. Free acid value refers to the true strength of a glycolic acid product, and is affected by both the concentration of acid and the pH of the formula.
This potent night cream is synergistically blended with 2% phytic acid to promote skin clarity and brightness, and a triple action-soothing complex to help support the skin barrier. Proven tolerable for nightly use, Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight improves the appearance of skin texture and tone to promote a bright complexion and glowing skin.
Key ingredients
- 10% Glycolic Free Acid Value
Derived from sugar cane, this powerful fruit acid helps stimulate skin’s natural exfoliation process and minimizes the build-up of dead skin cells, resulting improvement in the appearance of skin texture, tone, and a brighter complexion.
- 2% Phytic acid
Naturally present in legumes and seeds, this potent ingredient provides dual-action exfoliation and skin brightening effects. It helps to inhibit the impact of skin aggressors that can cause dullness, promoting skin clarity and glow.
- 1% Soothing complex
Featuring a combination of natural oils and botanicals, including jojoba and sunflower seed, this wax forms a protective, breathable layer on skin to help lock in hydration and provide comfort.
Who is it suitable for?
- Recommended for all skin types except sensitive and rosacea-prone skins
- Dull skin with uneven texture and tone
- Sun-damaged skin
- It cannot be used in pregnancy or during lactation
- Tested tolerable for nightly use and ideal as a complement to skin brightening and clarifying aesthetic procedures, including chemical peels
How do I apply it to my skin?
Precondition skin by limiting initial use to once every other evening. After one week, increase to every evening or as advised by a skincare professional. Daily application of a sunscreen when using this product is a must.
- CAUTION! Do not use this product together with Retinol or any other exfoliating product (AHAs) as the skin could become irritated.
- Use the SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight at night after cleansing.
- Apply an even, pea-sized layer over entire face and neck. Avoid the eye area.
- SUNBURN ALERT! This product contains an AHA that may increase your skins sensitivity to the sun.
- Always use with a daytime antioxidant serum and a high factor, broad spectrum sunscreen every day as part of your anti-ageing regimen.

With use of a high-concentration glycolic acid, it is common to experience mild symptoms of skin detoxification such as redness and temporary skin purging. Generally, these side effects resolve with continual use.
