Question
I am interested in creating an AHA facial treatment formula. I was considering using a high concentration like 15%. Could you provide a suitable formula and advice on usage, especially for someone without much experience? I'd like the formula to be a gel texture.
Answer
Hello, regarding the AHA facial treatment formula you inquired about, the staff has provided recommendations as follows:
- Using AHA at a concentration of 15% is considered very high and is not suitable for users without sufficient experience.
- The staff recommends starting with a concentration of 5% and closely observing your skin's response.
- The formula recommended by the staff is:
- Pro Polymer™ (Gel Maker) 1.5% (increased amount to compensate for high acidity)
- Glycolic acid 5%
- Remaining water
- This formula does not require a preservative because the very low pH prevents microbial growth.
- For application time, you should start with only 3-5 minutes and gradually increase the duration as your skin becomes more accustomed. It is crucial to closely monitor your skin's reaction.
