The receipt

Every point of this grade, traced to the active, its dose, and the evidence.

Glycolic Acid at 10% — strong dose

Above the ~10% where 5–10% glycolic acid exfoliates and improves tone and texture with regular use.

Salicylic Acid at 0.5% — effective dose

Meets the ~0.5% threshold. 0.5–2% salicylic acid is an oil-soluble comedolytic that clears pores.

Pros & cons

The honest tradeoffs.

  • Glycolic Acid at a strong, research-backed dose (10%)
  • Salicylic Acid dosed to the effective threshold (0.5%)
