Glycolic & Retinol Pads
Skin Script Glycolic & Retinol Pads are designed to gently and progressively renew the skin to provide brightening, clarifying, and restoring benefits to all skin types.
Benefits:

- Reduces the appearance of pigmentation spots
Skin Types/ Concerns:
- Normal
- Oily
- Combination

Key Ingredients:
- Arbutin (4%) limits melanin production and reduces visible pigmentation through lightening actions and the inhibition of tyrosinase.
- Kojic Acid (3%) inhibits tyrosinase and brightens existing pigmentation naturally. It is comparable to hydroquinone without the negative side effects.
- Glycolic Acid (2%) is a deeply penetrating alpha hydroxy acid that reduces wrinkles and promotes resurfacing to refine skin texture. It provides progressive skin clearing and promotes cellular renewal that expedites the healing of breakouts.
- Retinol (1%) is a Vitamin A derivative that exfoliates to stimulate collagen production and reduce visible signs of aging.
Please Note:
The Glycolic and Retinol Pads contain glycolic acid and retinol which give the formula its yellow color visible upon opening.
The Kojic Acid in this product is potent and highly active. While Kojic Acid does not affect the yellow color initially, over time it will darken with changes in light, pH or temperature, causing the actual pads to darken. This is normal and does not reduce the efficacy of the formula.
The seal of the product can also absorb the darkened product. Over time kojic acid will darken causing pads to darken as well. Off-gassing can occur, which can be absorbed by the seal of the jar and may result in darkening or discoloration of the seal. Discoloration of the seal is normal and does not reduce the efficacy of the product.
