Directions for use

For renewedskin overnight:

1. After using cleanser and toner and drying skin thoroughly, apply in the evening to the face (avoiding the eye contour area), neck and décolleté.

2. For best results, a professional serum targeting a specific skin concern underneath the night cream.

3. As part of your daily routine, it's essential to incorporate SPF 50 100% mineral sunscreen to protect skin from photoaging and prevent the damaging effects of UV rays.

Pro tip: When skin has adapted well to glycolic acid, opt for Glycolic Acid 10% Night cream for even better results.

Glycolic Acid 5% or 10% Night cream is the ideal ally for prolonging the effects of professional chemical peels performed in aesthetic medicine clinics, which use much higher concentrations of glycolic acid.

Warning

For external use only. Follow directions carefully. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of direct contact with eyes, rinse with clear water. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. Before any exposure to the sun, it is recommended to apply a sunscreen on the areas where the product containing AHA has been applied. Skin contact with the product should be limited in frequency and duration.

Years of research have led to the development of a unique formula to counteract the side effects of glycolic acids. Glycolic Acid 5% or 10% Night cream is distinguished by its progressive release system, which enables gentler exfoliation while maintaining optimum efficacy. Thanks to its soothing and moisturizing complex, it minimizes the risk of irritation and provides a feeling of comfort while promoting intense cell renewal.

Glycolic acid is a powerful chemical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells, smooths skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
It's important to choose a cream containing glycolic acid in a concentration suited to your skin type, with a gradual-release system to minimize the risk of irritation while optimizing results. In addition to this gradual-release system, Glycolic Acid 5% or 10% Night cream contains a soothing, moisturizing complex.
Glycolic acid exfoliating creams are suitable for all skin types, especially mature skin with slow cell renewal. Glycolic Acid 5% or 10% Night cream is also suitable for sensitive skin, thanks to formulas enriched with soothing and moisturizing ingredients. Our experts recommend a skin test before use on the whole face.
Chemical exfoliation with glycolic acid penetrates deeper into the skin's layers, providing more even, gentler exfoliation, while stimulating collagen production for longer-lasting, more visible results.
At Functionalab, the choice between 5% or 10% glycolic acid depends on your skin type, your tolerance to AHAs and your skin care goals. Glycolic Acid 5% initiates gentle exfoliation, reduces fine lines and improves skin texture and radiance. In contrast, Glycolic Acid 10% offers more intense exfoliation, ideal for those accustomed to glycolic acid or seeking rapid results on wrinkles, dark spots and uneven skin tone, while minimizing irritation thanks to its gradual release.
Yes, glycolic acid and vitamin C can be perfectly combined in a skin care routine. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin by removing dead cells, which optimizes the absorption of vitamin C, enabling its antioxidant properties to penetrate more effectively. Our experts recommend applying Ellagic C+ or any other vitamin C-based serum in the morning, as it protects the skin from external aggressors and promotes a luminous complexion. Glycolic Acid 5% or 10% Night cream is ideal for use in the evening, as it deeply regenerates the skin overnight. For optimum protection, always apply SPF 50 100% mineral sunscreen to shield skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
Yes, it is possible to use glycolic acid and retinol in the same skin care routine, but with caution. These two powerful active ingredients can cause irritation, especially on sensitive skin. Our experts recommend applying them at different times of the day, or alternating their use, to avoid any risk of discomfort. Start with a gradual application and slowly increase the frequency of use to allow your skin to adapt gently. It is also advisable to carry out a skin test before applying these ingredients to the whole face, to ensure optimum tolerance.
