G10 Radiance Peel

This peel contains 10% glycolic acid, a higher-strength exfoliant. While low-level AHAs are often considered safe in pregnancy, stronger peels like this are best used with your doctor’s guidance. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use.

✅ The formula is simple (water, glycolic acid, ammonium hydroxide) with no fragrance or additional irritants.

⚠️ Glycolic Acid (10%): AHAs like glycolic are sometimes used in pregnancy skincare, but 10% is a professional-strength peel. While small amounts of glycolic acid are generally considered low risk, higher concentrations can increase absorption and skin sensitivity, which is why most OBs and derms recommend caution.

❌ No retinoids, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide present.

This peel is considered very low risk for pore-clogging. It contains glycolic acid only in a simple base, so the main concern is irritation or sensitivity, not breakouts. If you are acne-prone, it may actually help keep pores clear.

✅ Glycolic Acid (10%): An exfoliant that helps clear away dead skin cells and prevent pore blockages — reducing comedogenic potential rather than adding to it.

✅ Simple formula (water, glycolic acid, ammonium hydroxide) means there are very few emollients or oils that could clog pores.

⚠️ Potential irritation: While it won’t clog pores, glycolic acid at this concentration may cause redness, dryness, or temporary purging in acne-prone skin. This reaction is related to exfoliation, not comedogenicity.

❌ No oils, waxes, fatty alcohols, or ingredients with high comedogenic index ratings.

This peel provides a professional-strength exfoliation with 10% glycolic acid. It can deliver brighter, smoother skin but may cause tingling or redness. Recommended for experienced acid users; always follow with sunscreen and limit use to 1–2 times per week.

✅ Simple formula — just water, glycolic acid, and ammonium hydroxide (to adjust pH). No unnecessary fillers or fragrance allergens.

✅ Because it’s a controlled-use peel, exposure time is shorter than a leave-on serum, reducing prolonged irritation.

⚠️ Glycolic Acid at 10% is still strong enough to cause tingling, redness, or peeling, especially for sensitive skin types or new acid users.

⚠️ Lack of soothing or hydrating buffers (like aloe, panthenol, or glycerin) means it’s “all acid,” with less cushion against irritation.

❌ Not recommended for highly sensitive, rosacea-prone, or compromised skin.
