A family business, with our own production in Trenčín

Questions
What you ask most often
How should I use the glycolic acid serum?
In the evening on clean skin, initially twice a week, no more than 2–3 times a week and on nonconsecutive days. Massage 2–3 drops onto the face and neck, do not rinse off and let it absorb, then you can apply cream.
Why use sun protection in the morning?
Glycolic acid gently loosens dead skin cells, making skin more sensitive to the sun. Always protect it with a sun protection factor the morning after use.
Can I combine it with other acids or retinol?
No. Do not combine the serum with other acids or retinol.
Does it burn or sting?
Stop using the serum if irritation, burning or stinging occurs. Do not continue using it in the expectation that the reaction will subside on its own.
How should I combine the serum with cream?
Apply the serum first, let it absorb, then use night cream. The serum delivers active ingredients and the cream seals them in.
Is it sticky?
It may feel a little sticky briefly after application, but not enough to feel unpleasant. It absorbs quickly without leaving a film.
How long does 30 ml last?
At 2–3 drops two or three times a week, it lasts a long time, several months.
