AHA sun protection advisory: this product contains 3.5% Glycolic Acid as a leave-on alpha-hydroxy acid. The FDA cosmetic AHA labeling guidance recommends daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and avoidance of unprotected sun exposure during use and for one week after discontinuation. This advisory applies at any leave-on AHA concentration, including the 3.5% here. For deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV to VI), start with once-weekly application and build slowly, as glycolic acid's smaller molecular weight penetrates more readily. Patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours before facial use. Do not use on broken, irritated, or sunburned skin. Avoid concurrent use with strong retinoid, BHA, or higher-concentration AHA products in the same routine until tolerance is established.
