Glycolic Acid has a pKa of 3.6 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability.<,br />,When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing effectiveness of the acid and reducing irritation.<,br />,Higher pH numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.<,br />,<,br />,How to use:<,br />,<,br />,Use ideally in the PM, no more frequently than once per day.<,br />,After cleaning, saturate a cotton pad with the formula and sweep across face and neck.
