Frequently asked questions
Can I use Glycolic Acid and Sunscreen together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Glycolic Acid works best, and stays safe, only if your skin is protected from UV. Without daily sunscreen, sun damage undoes its results, and you are more likely to burn and tan while using it.
Which goes first, Glycolic Acid or Sunscreen?
Apply Glycolic Acid first, then Sunscreen. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Glycolic Acid in the morning or at night?
Glycolic Acid: best at night. Use 2–3 nights a week after cleansing. Skip it on nights you use retinoids. Sunscreen is non-negotiable because AHAs raise sun sensitivity.
Should I use Sunscreen in the morning or at night?
Sunscreen: best in the morning. Use two finger-lengths for face and neck as the last morning step, every day, including indoors near windows. Reapply every 2–3 hours outdoors.
