Is aqua glycolic face cream hypoallergenic ?

No - or so it claims on the label. I find it exellent - have been using it for years - and my skin looks good for an 84 year old.

It contains AHA (Alpha hydroxy acid) which irritates my skin. I should have read more carefully and NOT have bought it.

It does not claim to be since it has AHA (alpha hydroxy acid). But, if used VERY sparingly initially and gradually increase it, you may be able to tolerate it .

I don't think so. Label says Noncomedogenic and pH balanced for gentleness. No claims of being hypoallergenic.

Yes it is hypoallergenic....I have very sensitive fair skin and I only use two products cetaphil and aqua glycolic face cream.

It doesn't indicate "hypoallergenic" on the bottle, but there is a toll-free number for Neutrogena. Why not give them a call?

Hello, Just to clarify Brighten Up! does not contain glycolic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Hope this helps!

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

It doesn't say it's hypoallergenic. It does say "Forever New is a pure, organic, biodegradable fabric care wash" and "the natural base of citrus and sodas cleans then rinses completely from the fabric". It's a GREAT product but if you are sensitive to fragrances, you might want to reconsider. It has a lovely fragrance but for people with fragrance issues it might be a problem.

I have been using glycolic acid peels since my mid 20s & am now 38 for "preventative" measures. I used neutralizers for awhile then found out that some baking soda mixed with water IS a neutralizer! This seems to work for me & saves me $$ as well. Never had a problem. Feel free to speak to a pro though. ;-)

I didn't like the product and tossed it out, no affect at all. I think mine was old when I purchased it. There are other glycolic products that are better. I like the Olay firming facial cream. It makes your face feel soft and supple in the morning. I also alternate with Retinol one night and the firming next.

This cream is excellent for dry skin. Mine is very sensitive and dry, but have successfully used Aqua Glycolic for years. Be sure to use a good sunscreen along with it as it may make your skin a little more sensitive to sun exposure. I don't care for the toner much. It leaves what I feel is a sticky residue.

I called Aqua Glycolic and this is what they said: Cleanser-7.7% Glycolic Toner-8.2% Glycolic Face Cream-6.7% Glycolic Shampoo/Shower Gel-9.5% Hand and Body Lotion-9.5% Their percentages are not bad considering that MD Forte has between 12-20% glycolic in their cleansers and they range in price from $25-$30. MD Formulations Facial Cleanser has 12% for $28.80 and DDF Glycolic Exfoliating Wash has 7% for around $30+. Hope this helps! Christine

Hello - Glad to help with my answer. No, this product does not contain Glycolic. Use it for two weeks then switch to Brown Spot Night Gel for two weeks which contains Glycolic Acid and Hydroquinone. Also, use the Light Skin Peel. If your brown spots are light it should work. After months of use mine are still there. Good luck!

I'm not sure, I use the cream as my daily moisturizer. It really keeps my face hydrated, so hydrated there's no need to use a moisturizer. Hope this helps!

This is a once a month thing for me. I don't know how it compares to glycolic. It's very strong but effective. You have to follow directions and I put a moisturizing mask on after. If I leave it on longer than 5 minutes I get dry, but then it balances out after the skin flakes off. I put it on with Q-tip on spots or bumps, and it takes them off. Pretty cool stuff, just be mindful.

The ingredient list is very short, and it does not have either glycerin or propylene glycol. Product contains: Organic Extra Virgin Olive Fruit Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Honey, Organic Bee Pollen, Propolis Extract, Royal Jelly. It is very pure. I have very sensitive skin and the Bee Magic cream has helped it greatly.
