Collistar Pure Actives Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Face Serum 30ml

Description

Collistar Glycolic Acid serum is a 30 ml dropper serum that exfoliates the skin every day, yet gently, and leaves it looking clearer and more radiant. It is made for the face and neck.

What is Collistar Glycolic Acid serum?

This is an exfoliating serum from the Collistar Attivi Puri, or Pure Actives, line. Collistar describes glycolic acid as an alpha-hydroxy acid that dermatologists use for peeling treatments. It removes dead cells from the surface of the skin and helps the skin renew itself. Collistar researchers have calibrated the pH and the concentration of the acid and paired it with two more alpha-hydroxy acids, mandelic and gluconic acid, which complete and moderate its action. The result is a daily peel that Collistar calls effective but gradual and non-aggressive. According to the brand, it renews the surface of the skin, brightens the complexion, refines the skin texture and minimises pores and small imperfections. The formula is free of fragrance, alcohol, colourants, silicones and animal-derived ingredients.

Who it is for

Collistar designed the serum to be part of a daily skincare routine. It suits you if you want smoother, more even-looking skin and prefer an exfoliating serum with a dropper. You can find more products in our exfoliators category.

How to use

1. Cleanse your face and neck thoroughly.
2. Apply a few drops to your face and neck and massage in lightly. Skip the eye contour and the lips.
3. Use the serum once a day, preferably in the evening.
4. Collistar recommends a full course of four consecutive weeks, which matches the natural skin renewal cycle. You can repeat the course several times a year, with at least a month between courses. Between courses, the other Attivi Puri products are a good fit.

Texture and active ingredients

The serum is a light, water-based liquid that you apply in drops. The active ingredients are glycolic acid, mandelic acid and gluconolactone, and the formula also contains sodium citrate and citric acid. The dropper bottle lets you measure the amount precisely, and the 30 ml size lasts a long time. The serum fits a four-week course well.
