QRxLabs Glycolic Acid Renewal Serum 15% — 1 fl oz exfoliating AHA for smoother, brighter skin

QRxLabs 15% Glycolic Acid Renewal Serum is a nightly AHA exfoliant formulated to refine texture, even tone, and reveal a smoother-looking complexion.

This concentrated 15% glycolic acid serum blends clinical-strength alpha hydroxy action with clean formulations so you can add chemical exfoliation into your skincare routine without unnecessary additives. Designed to pair well with antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, the formula supports visible surface renewal and helps makeup apply more smoothly. It comes in a 1 fl oz bottle and is paraben-free and cruelty-free.

How will this glycolic serum fit into my evening skincare routine?

Use the QRxLabs serum after cleansing and before heavier moisturizers or oils. Start slowly—apply 2–3 times weekly and increase frequency as skin adapts. Always follow with sunscreen during daytime; AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.

• Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin in the evening.
• Wait a minute for absorption, then layer hydrating serums or creams.
• Begin with low frequency and build to nightly use if tolerated.

What results can I realistically expect and when might I see them?

Glycolic acid promotes surface cell turnover, which typically leads to smoother texture and a more even-looking tone over weeks of consistent use. Individual responses vary based on baseline skin condition and concurrent products, but many users notice improved skin feel within 2–6 weeks.

• Smoother skin texture with regular use over weeks.
• Reduced appearance of uneven tone and dullness.
• Better makeup application due to a refined surface.

Can I combine this with vitamin C, retinol, or other active ingredients?

This serum is formulated to complement antioxidant serums (like vitamin C) and hydrators (like hyaluronic acid). To minimize irritation, avoid layering strong actives at the same time—alternate nights with retinol or apply vitamin C in the morning and glycolic acid at night.

• Vitamin C works well in AM; glycolic acid in PM to avoid overlap.
• Alternate glycolic nights with retinol if you have sensitive skin.
• Use moisturizers and barrier-supporting ingredients when needed.

How do I introduce a 15% AHA safely if I have combination or sensitive skin?

Because 15% is a potent glycolic concentration, begin gradually and patch-test first. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency, mix with a moisturizer, or consult a professional. Stop use if severe redness or discomfort develops.

• Patch-test on inner forearm before full-face application.
• Start 2–3 nights per week, increasing slowly as tolerated.
• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning while using AHAs.

Who is this for: QRxLabs 15% Glycolic Acid Renewal Serum is aimed at adults seeking stronger chemical exfoliation to refine texture, reduce the look of uneven tone, and improve skin smoothness. It suits those familiar with acids or ready to progress beyond low-dose exfoliants, and it pairs well with antioxidant and hydration-focused regimens. Not recommended for young children or those with broken/compromised skin without professional guidance.
