STEP 3 - RESURFACE
Jan Marini Skin Research Bioglycolic Acne Gel contains a revolutionary microscopic sponge encapsulation system to deliver salicylic acid, the medically endorsed acne treatment, with the benefits of glycolic acid. The gel is 100% oil-free and easily smoothes onto the skin and is quickly absorbed completely, leaving the skin clean and soft.
Users of this medication will notice a rapid improvement of their acne condition as the microscopic sponges continually absorb excess oils. Bioglycolic Acne Gel prevents the formation of new comedonal activity while clearing existing lesions. Continued use can minimise facial oil production over time. The gel is an outstanding treatment for people who have occasional breakouts.

Glycolic acid resurfaces, while Salicylic Acid purges the skin of bacteria and clears out the pores.

Precaution:
Do not use if pregnant - this product contains salicylic acid
Products that contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA's) may cause initial flaking, tingling or irriation to the skin. For some this may be part of the normal resurfacing process.This generally improves as the skin ‘gets used’ to the treatment. AHA products may be introduced with less frequent use, and application can be increased as the skin acclimates. At first start by gradually introducing one AHA product at a time into your skincare regime. Also some breakouts may occur initially, due to purging of the follicles.
Discontinue use if you have severe redness, itching, burning, rash, swelling or blistering.
Apply a sunscreen daily when using products that contain Alpha Hydroxy acids (AHA's).
