Glow Exfoliating Serum

Description

Glow Exfoliating Serum

5% Lactic Acid + 3% Urea

Rough texture, dullness, flaking and uneven-looking skin can often be caused by a build-up of dead surface skin cells. Our Radiant Image Lab Glow Exfoliating Serum combines 5% Lactic Acid with 3% Urea to gently exfoliate while supporting hydration, helping skin feel smoother, softer and more refined.

How does it chemically exfoliate the skin?

Lactic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). Unlike physical scrubs that mechanically rub away surface cells, lactic acid works chemically by helping loosen the bonds between accumulated dead skin cells on the surface.

This allows them to shed more easily, helping to improve the appearance of:

• Rough and uneven texture
• Dull-looking skin
• Dry, flaky surface skin
• Uneven-looking skin tone
• Skin that feels coarse or congested
• Makeup catching on dry or textured areas

The result is skin that can gradually look smoother, brighter and more radiant.

Why did we add 3% Urea?

Chemical exfoliation should not only focus on removing dead skin.

Urea is an effective skin-conditioning humectant that helps attract and retain moisture while softening dry, rough-feeling skin.

By combining 5% Lactic Acid + 3% Urea, the Glow Exfoliating Serum provides an exfoliation + hydration system rather than relying on exfoliation alone.

The formula is further supported by Niacinamide, Betaine, Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid to help maintain hydration and leave the skin feeling comfortable.

How to use

Use the Glow Exfoliating Serum in the evening.

After cleansing:

1. Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin.
2. Avoid the eye area and lips.
3. Allow the serum to absorb.
4. Follow with your usual moisturiser.

If you are new to chemical exfoliation, begin with 2 to 3 evenings per week.

Once your skin has adjusted, frequency can gradually be increased according to skin tolerance.

Always use SPF

AHAs can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Apply Radiant Image Lab SPF50 every morning, including on days when you are not using the serum.

Consistent sun protection is especially important when treating uneven-looking skin tone and pigmentation.

What should you avoid using on the same evening?

To reduce the risk of over-exfoliation and irritation, avoid layering the Glow Exfoliating Serum in the same routine with:

• Other AHA or glycolic acid products
• Strong peeling solutions
• Retinoids or retinol
• Other strong exfoliating treatments
• Our 2% Salicylic Acid Blemish Control Cream-Gel

If you use a salicylic acid treatment, consider using it on alternate evenings instead.

Important cautions

For external use only.

Do not apply to broken, irritated or damaged skin.

Avoid direct contact with the eyes and lips.

A mild temporary tingling sensation can occur when using an acid exfoliant. Persistent burning, significant redness, swelling or irritation is not normal. Rinse the product off and discontinue use if this occurs.

Patch testing is recommended before first use.

Do not overuse chemical exfoliants. More frequent exfoliation does not necessarily produce faster results and may compromise the skin barrier.

Daily SPF50 is essential.
