Exfoliate, Clarify, and Brighten with Face Reality Glycolic Serum
Face Reality Glycolic Serum 5% and 10% are professional-grade exfoliating serums designed to refine texture, clear congestion, and reveal brighter, smoother skin. These potent formulas use glycolic acid to accelerate cell renewal and remove surface buildup that can clog pores and dull the complexion.
Both strengths are crafted for acne-prone and aging skin, helping reduce fine lines, minimize breakouts, and improve overall tone and clarity. The 5% concentration offers a gentle yet effective introduction to glycolic exfoliation, while the 10% version provides a stronger resurfacing boost for tolerant or resilient skin types.
