FAQ
  • I noticed that Astringent No. 2 with Salicylic Acid is available in three strengths, how do I decide which is best for me?
  • GlyMed Plus Acne line is very effective for treating acne. Therefore, even the 2% can be very strong for some individuals. We recommend you start with 2% and if necessary, progress to 5%. The 10% can be used on areas with thicker skin like the back.
  • Is it always necessary to use an astringent daily?
  • Acne Astringents are incorporated in a daily regimen for oily and acneic skin. Salicylic acid is an effective ingredient in controlling oil. Since it is the oil that feeds the bacteria present in acne, controlling oil will have an effect on controlling acne.
  • I love using Astringent No. 2 with Salicylic Acid on my skin as it controls the oil. However, my skin gets very red afterward. What can I do?
        Follow the application of Astringent No. 2 with Salicylic Acid with Daily Skin Clarifier to reduce redness and calm irritation. Because of the anti-inflammatory benefits of Bearberry Extract, Mulberry Extract and Licorice Extract, Daily Skin Clarifier is the fastest way to calm the skin after any active product.
