New from SkinCeuticals: Glycolic Brightening Renew Overnight.

Written by Cosmedica | February 08, 2022

We’ve added yet another SkinCeuticals favourite to our lineup of medical-grade skincare, and this time it’s the night cream of your dreams. SkinCeuticals Glycolic Brightening Renew Overnight promotes cell turnover and a refined radiance… while you sleep

Containing an optimized level of glycolic acid, synergistically blended with phytic acid and a soothing complex, this new addition to your nightly routine improves texture, radiance, and overall glow. 

What is glycolic acid? 

Well-known in the aesthetic industry as a go-to ingredient for restoring skin radiance, glycolic acid is an effective exfoliant derived from sugar cane. The smallest of the alpha hydroxy acids, glycolic acid works by increasing the rate of exfoliation and skin regeneration to improve skin texture and tone, and foster a natural glow. 

What does SkinCeuticals Glycolic Brightening Renew Overnight treat?

This product treats dull, uneven skin. It promotes skin clarity and brightness, improves the appearance of skin texture and tone, reduces fine lines, and hydrates to reveal brighter, more youthful-looking skin. 

In an 8-week clinical study, participants saw an 18% improvement in radiance, 21% improvement in skin texture, 10% improvement in skin tone, and 21% improvement in skin clarity after nightly use in conjunction with sunscreen. 

How does it work?

SkinCeuticals Glycolic Brightening Renew Overnight combines a high concentration of 6% glycolic acid with a 4% Free Acid Value and 2% phytic acid (naturally present in legumes and seeds) to rejuvenate skin at a deeper level. The addition of a soothing complex derived from a combination of natural oils and botanicals, including jojoba and sunflower seed, forms a protective, breathable layer to help lock in hydration and provide comfort. It’s powerfully rejuvenating while being gentle enough for nightly use. 

How do I use it?

For the first week, we recommend using SkinCeuticals Glycolic Brightening Renew Overnight every other night, until your skin becomes accustomed to the product. After one week, you should be able to increase use to every night (unless you’ve been advised otherwise by a skincare professional). 

Shake the bottle well and dispense a pea-sized amount of cream into your hands. Apply an even layer over your entire face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Don’t forget to ensure your skin is protected by using a daytime antioxidant and sunscreen every single day!
