FAQ
  • How do I determine which GlyMed Plus Prepping Agent to use with my peel?
  • Both GlyMed Plus Prepping Agents are equally effective in preparing the skin for any professional protocols.
  • I have cleansed the skin sufficiently, can I bypass the Prepping Agent?
  • No, nothing replaces the all-important pre-treatment step in a procedure. GlyMed Plus Prepping Agents contain ingredients that break down the barrier in the skin for more even application. Cleansing alone cannot replace this step.
  • I noticed all GlyMed Plus protocols offer the option of using either cotton or gauze. How do I decide which one to use?
  • Cotton is much softer and will be less aggressive. Gauze, on the other hand, creates a more abrasive result and will increase the bio-availablity of the peel.
  • Is this product safe for pregnant or breastfeeding moms?
  • No, it is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to receive chemical treatments.
