Face Reality 5% Glycolic Serum

$35.00

Your gentle reset for smoother, brighter, more refined skin.

Why You’ll Love It

The 5% Glycolic Serum is an AHA-based exfoliant designed to refine texture, brighten dullness, and help smooth fine lines and acne scarring — all while keeping your skin hydrated and balanced.

Glycolic acid has a smaller molecular size than mandelic acid, which means it penetrates a bit deeper into the skin for more advanced resurfacing. Because of that, it’s powerful — so if you’re newer to exfoliants or have reactive skin, we recommend starting with Mandelic Acid first to build tolerance.

Once your skin’s ready, this serum works wonders for boosting radiance, clearing congestion, and creating a smoother base for everything that follows — from serums to makeup.

Important: As with all exfoliants, consistent SPF use (and reapplying every 2–3 hours) is key to protecting your results and preventing sensitivity.

HBB Tip:

“Think of this as your glow accelerator — great for tackling texture, fine lines, and congestion once your skin’s ready for a little more action. Just don’t forget your SPF”
