Key benefits

Targets dullness and uneven texture
Supports overnight visible resurfacing
Helps decongest the complexion

Who it is for

Experienced acid users with dull, textured or congested skin.

How to use

Use up to twice weekly at night. Do not use on the same evening as retinal or other strong exfoliating acids. Apply sunscreen the following morning.

Why Dr Mo recommends it

It provides occasional intensive exfoliation rather than adding another daily active.

Introduce active skincare gradually. Maintain good hydration and reduce frequency if dryness or irritation develops.

HOW TO USE

First-time use

If you're new to Sleep Glycolic, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Learn how to patch test here.

Apply once and note the skin’s response, then use 2-3 times per week.

Step 1

After cleansing in the evening, smooth a pea-sized amount of Sleep Glycolic onto the face, neck and décolletage - avoiding the eye area. Some slight skin tingling is normal.

Step 2

Follow with other serums and night moisturiser. Leave on overnight. As Sleep Glycolic is directly active on your skin, it should be the second step in your evening skincare routine (after cleansing). Layer all other serums and moisturisers on top.

Step 3

Always wear sunscreen the next day after using Sleep Glycolic. We recommend Advanced Day Ultimate Protect.

KEY BENEFITS

Radiant, Visibly Refined Skin
Sleep Glycolic removes dead skin cells from the skin's surface to reveal a visibly smoother and glowing complexion, with a more even tone and texture.

Healthy Skin Barrier
Sleep Glycolic uses innovative crystal encapsulation technology to gradually deliver glycolic acid into the skin throughout the night. This means the skin barrier remains comfortable and balanced during use.

Visibly Perfected Skin
Visibly resurfaces the skin texture, smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimises the look of hyperpigmentation. It also reduces congestion and the likelihood of blemishes forming.

Complement Your In-Clinic Results
Sleep Glycolic can help to prolong the results of a peeling / facial course. It can also be used as an entry level, at-home peel for those who are nervous about their first peeling experience.

KEY INGREDIENTS

10% Active Glycolic Acid
With the smallest particle size of all the AHAs, glycolic acid is the most powerful. It works to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, so they can be easily exfoliated away to reveal fresher, newer skin cells beneath. The result is visibly brighter, smoother and decongested skin. This active is contained within a cyclodextrin-based shell (pronounced 'sy-clo-DEXtrin'). This ensures its gradual release into the skin overnight to prevent irritation while prolonging the visible effects.

Korean Clover Extract
Works alongside glycolic acid to support the skin’s natural overnight repair and hydration processes. It also helps to maintain the natural skin barrier; reducing the potential for irritation.

Glycerin
A natural humectant which traps moisture within the skin to leave it hydrated and comfortable.
