| UNDERARMS & INTIMATE CARE
Lactic, Glycolic, Salicylic, and Kojic acids lighten the skin's tone and are gentle on the skin, making this peel the perfect choice for delicate skin. In addition to promoting new cell development and faster turnover of dead skin cells, the blend balances pH levels to prevent underarm bacterial growth.
| FACE
Alpha Hydroxy-Acids promote collagen production and are excellent for skin lightening and fine wrinkle reduction. Beta Hydroxy Acids penetrate deeper to clean up clogged pores and blockages and are perfect for sensitive skin.
| KNEES, ELBOWS, ANKLES & HEELS
These areas are prone to dryness and deposition of dirt & dead skin, making them appear darker. This hyperpigmentation can be reduced with continued usage of Lukewarm's Glycolic AHA+BHA peel. This peel is also effective in lightening stretch marks as it resurfaces the younger skin beneath.
| SCALP EXFOLIATION
AHAs and BHAs are efficient exfoliating agents for the scalp as they gently dissolve dead skin cells, unclog hair follicles, and encourage a healthier scalp, all of which can boost hair growth and scalp health. They also aid in treating scalp issues including dryness, dandruff, and acne.

Case: Oily & Acne-prone Skin with Open Pores & Scars
Observations: The solution was progressively introduced as peel, with applications lasting 10 minutes at first and subsequently increasing to 20 minutes twice weekly. Salicylic acid at 2% helped clear pores, diminish active acne, and minimise skin redness. The AHAs helped with the older acne scars, and with continuing use, there was a general lightening effect on the face from prior sun damage.

Case: Strawberry Skin (Keratosis Pilaris), Bumps & Roughness
Observations: The solution was recommended as a peel followed by daily sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ application for 4 weeks. Given the skin is not sensitive around this region, the peel was applied for 25-30 minutes, thrice a week. The AHA and BHA helped with cleaning oil, dirt, and dead skin that caused hair follicles getting engorged in the skin (ingrown). Additionally, Kojic Acid in the blend helped even out the skin tone.

Case: Sensitive Skin with Facial Pigmentation & Uneven Skin Texture
Observations: The peel was first added to the regimen as a cream-mix for nighttime applications, daily for a period of 14 days, as the user was new to actives. After the initial purging ended, the user began using the product twice weekly in peel form. For redness, post-application icing was advised. Old acne scars and obstinate pigmentation were clearly reduced, and the skin recovered its former radiance and texture.
Can glycolic Solution lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation?
Yes, Glycolic solution is known to be effective in lightening dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugarcane and belongs to a group of acids commonly used in skincare products for its exfoliating and skin-renewing properties.
When applied topically, it works by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and stimulating the production of new skin cells. This exfoliating action helps to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation over time.
Glycolic Solution also has the ability to penetrate the skin deeply, which enhances its effectiveness in treating hyperpigmentation. It helps to inhibit the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots, by suppressing the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase. By reducing the production of melanin, glycolic acid can gradually lighten the appearance of dark spots and even out skin tone.
It's worth noting that while Glycolic Solution can be effective in treating hyperpigmentation, results may vary depending on the severity of the condition and individual skin type. It's important to use glycolic acid products as directed. Additionally, it's crucial to wear sunscreen during the day when using Glycolic Solution, as the skin can become more sensitive to sunlight and prone to damage.
Can I use glycolic solution if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, you can still use glycolic acid products if you have sensitive skin, but it's important to proceed with caution and consider lower concentrations. Patch testing is recommended to check for any adverse reactions before applying the product to your entire face. If you experience redness or irritation, apply aloe vera to calm your skin down.
How long does it take to see results from using the glycolic solution?
The time it takes to see results from using the Glycolic Solution can vary depending on several factors, including the concentration of glycolic acid, the specific skin concern being addressed, and individual skin characteristics. Generally, visible improvements in skin texture, tone, and hyperpigmentation can be observed over a period of several weeks to months.
By using it twice a week you may notice initial improvements in skin texture and brightness within a few weeks. However, for more significant changes in areas such as hyperpigmentation or acne scarring, it may take several months of consistent use to see noticeable results.
It's important to be patient and maintain a consistent skincare routine with the glycolic acid solution. Remember to follow the recommended usage guidelines and apply sunscreen daily, as glycolic acid can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Individual results can vary, so it's recommended to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional for personalized advice based on your specific skin concerns and goals.
Are there any age restrictions for using glycolic solution?
There is generally no specific age restriction for using the glycolic solution. However, it is recommended that individuals be at least 18 years old to use these products. Adolescents should use them under adult supervision, starting with lower concentrations. Adults of various age groups can use glycolic solution, while older adults should be cautious due to potential skin sensitivity and fragility. It is advisable to perform a patch test and consult with a professional before incorporating glycolic solution into your skincare routine.
Are there any specific precautions I should take when using the glycolic solution?
When using glycolic solution products, it's important to take some precautions.
First, perform a patch test by applying a small amount of the product to a small area of your skin and waiting for 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions. If you experience redness, irritation, or itching, use aloe vera and apply the product.
Additionally, start with a low concentration of glycolic acid to minimize the risk of skin irritation or sensitivity. Follow the instructions provided with the product and gradually increase the frequency or concentration over time, if necessary.
It's best to consult a dermatologist or skin care coach before incorporating glycolic acid into your routine. Lastly, always remember to use sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid, as it can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
