Revolution Skincare London’s 10% Glycolic Acid AHA Glow Serum is a leave-on exfoliating treatment formulated with a 10% concentration of glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid derived from sugarcane. This ingredient works by gently dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface, promoting cellular turnover to reveal a smoother, more even-looking complexion. The serum is designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and uneven texture over consistent use.

The lightweight, water-based texture absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or greasy residue, making it suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin types. It is not recommended for sensitive skin or for those new to AHAs; a patch test and gradual introduction into a skincare routine are advised. The formula is free from animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals, aligning with the brand’s vegan and cruelty-free ethos. It contains no parabens or mineral oils.

Packaged in a simple 30 ml dropper bottle, the serum allows controlled application. It can be used in the evening after cleansing and before moisturising, typically two to three times per week, with sunscreen use during the day after application. Priced accessibly, this product offers a high-strength AHA option for individuals seeking to improve skin clarity and luminosity without resorting to expensive clinical treatments. As with any acid-based skincare, individual tolerance varies, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
