Face Reality Glycolic Acid Serum 5%
This alpha-hydroxy acid serum uses 5% glycolic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and help eliminate blackheads and “pebbles” under the skin (maturation arrest acne), while also keeping further breakouts at bay. Glycolic acid has the smallest molecular weight of all the alpha-hydroxy acids and penetrates the pore more quickly to effectively clear these types of acne.
1 oz | Airless Pump
We love this serum for normal, combination, and oily skin types trying to address blackheads and adult maturation arrest acne.
We recommend starting with Face Reality 5% Glycolic Serum. Once you have completed that bottle, if you are still experiencing blackheads and pebbles or excess oil move to the 10% Glycolic Serum. If you are experiencing dry skin or inflammation, do not increase strength.
Face Reality Glycolic Serums may be layered under mandelic serums, vitamin A correctives, or Acne Med as prescribed by your AOS Acne Specialist.
After cleansing and toning, apply 1 pump to face, or affected area, in the evening, layer with your favorite moisturizer. Be sure to follow with SPF when used in the AM. Always be sure to apply SPF in the AM when using this product.

Love this serum
Best serums for noninflamed acne. I love this bottle for the serum.
Great for black heads.
I'm using FR glycolic acid serum every other day to help with my black heads in my chin and my nose and the result are great. Definitely is part of my night skincare routine.
Great Glycolic!
I love this serum! It is silky smooth to put onto the skin, and it does a great job taking care of my maturation arrest. My skin is so soft after using it!
Love, love, love!
Absolutely love this product! First off, the shipping is extremely fast. My order was shipped the day I ordered it. I haven't used “actives” in a long time time so I started slow with every other day use and now use once a day at night time. It has completely transformed my skin! It used to be dull but now it is glowing and my acne breakouts have been at bay ever since starting this serum. I highly, highly recommend!
Amazing to keep your pores
Amazing to keep your pores clean deep down. It's gentle and effective at clearing out debris in your pores ...great for blackheads
