Don't you just love the glow your skin gets each time you pay a visit to your beautician? <3

If you're a skin enthusiast, chances are, you've probably called up your go-to skin clinic for a facial treatment before attending a last-minute fancy event or wedding, hehe.

As technology evolves day by day, so do skincare treatments like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, acne blue light therapy, and more, all of which help to achieve radiant skin. The only thing is that clinical treatments often take time and can be costly.  

But it's not the only way to give your skin a glow-up! In case you're not caught up with the trend, there's a specific ingredient in the market that is known to give you glowy skin without breaking the bank.

It's none other than glycolic acid! :D

If you don't know where to start with this amazing ingredient, fret not. L'Oréal Paris has got you covered from the A to Zs of glycolic acid with their products.

Most of us tend to skip one important step in our skincare routines — toning. Toners help to create a base for our skin barrier so that the ingredients and products we use after it are easily absorbed into the skin.

Glycolic acid does exactly that, where it exfoliates dead skin cells and reveals a new, brighter layer of skin underneath. Due to the simple and small properties of glycolic acid, it's easier for the ingredient to penetrate the skin too.

Apart from exfoliating the skin, this mighty ingredient can also help reduce dullness and dark spots, as well as smooth out rough skin texture.

Glycolic acid is actually extracted from sugar cane and is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It's also known to have a smaller molecular weight compared to other AHAs, which gives it the advantage of penetrating deeper into your skin. This is how it helps stimulate collagen production for youthful-looking skin.

Luckily for you, L'Oréal Paris has got a whole line of skincare products, from a cleanser to night gel cream, that are formulated with glycolic acid, so you can make full use of this ingredient's goodness.  

With the new Glycolic-Bright Glowing Peeling Toner from L'Oréal Paris, you can achieve instant glow and smooth skin in just 30 seconds*

The L'Oréal Paris Glycolic-Bright Glowing Peeling Toner is powerful thanks to its 5% glycolic acid content that exfoliates and provides a glowing finish in just 30 seconds*. The clinic-inspired toner is safe to use every day and is made for all Asian skin types. Over time, it will help reduce dark spots on your skin, as well as even out your skin tone.

It's super convenient and easy to use as well. Soak a cotton pad with the toner and swipe it across your face, carefully avoiding your eyes. Once you apply it, you'll see visibly smoother and more radiant skin in just 30 seconds*. You'll be able to use the toner during the day and night, but it is recommended that you use sunscreen on top of it during the day.

*Based on a clinical test done by L'Oréal Paris on 64 subjects.
*Tested and proven on Asian skin tones.  
 

Pairing the Glycolic-Bright Glowing Peeling Toner with L'Oréal Paris' Glycolic-Bright 1% Glycolic Acid Serum will work wonders for your skin

What's great about this serum is that it is said to reduce 57% of dark spots on your skin in just four weeks**. Wow! :O

Although the serum is powerful, the 1% concentration is gentle on the skin and suitable for daily use. After using the peeling toner, applying the serum directly on top will help the product penetrate the skin and reveal brighter skin, which gives you a glow.

All you have to do is apply a few drops of the serum on your fingertips or directly on your face and pat it in for better absorption. Remember to use it before applying your moisturiser.

**Tested and proven on Asian skin tones.

And, if you're a skincare enthusiast, you'll know that staying consistent with your skincare routine is the only way you're going to notice a difference in the look and feel of your skin

This is why L'Oréal Paris has a whole range of Glycolic-Bright products, which are also known as the 'Glowchangers', to help you achieve glowy, smooth, and overall better skin. They've got the complete skincare regimen covered with their cleanser, toner, serum, and creams.

Glycolic-Bright Glowing Daily Cleanser Foam

The Glycolic-Bright Glowing Daily Cleanser Foam will help gently exfoliate and deeply cleanse your skin to reveal glowing skin, without stripping away the skin's moisture. Because of its dense creamy foam, it can even thoroughly clean impurities and makeup too.

Just squeeze out some product on your palm, rub your palms together to form a foam, and apply it on a wet face. Then, rub the product gently on your skin for about one to two minutes, avoiding the eye area, and rinse it off with water after.

Glycolic-Bright Glowing Day Cream

The day cream is formulated with brightening glycolic acid and SPF17 to shield the skin from harmful UV rays. It intensely hydrates the skin which makes your skin more vibrant, so you can get through the day without any worries about your skin looking dull.

Dermatologically tested, you just have to apply a generous amount of the day cream over your face and neck in the morning and it layers well underneath makeup too.

Glycolic-Bright Glowing Night Gel Cream

Promising to boost the skin's glow and reduce dark spots, this night gel cream contains glycolic acid and anti-oxidant vitamin E as well. You'll find that the gel cream has a lightweight consistency and tiny beads that help brighten the skin.

By using it overnight***, the product penetrates the skin to repair the skin barrier, making your skin plump the next morning. Just apply it the same way you apply your daily moisturiser.  

***Based on a clinical test done by L'Oréal Paris on 64 subjects.
***Tested and proven on Asian skin tones.

Whether you're trying to reduce the appearance of dull skin, tackle your skin problems, or just want overall healthy-looking skin, the complete Glycolic-Bright products by L'Oréal Paris, a.k.a The Glowchangers, will help you achieve your ideal skin.
