Glossier is launching a skin perfecting, acne fighting, liquid exfoliator dubbed Solution ($24). According to the company, the magic of Solution comes from the balance of three acid actives—our chemist and development team worked for 15 months to create something potent enough for maximum efficacy but gentle enough for everyday use.
The formula contains a 10% blend of AHA, BHA and PHA for total benefits. Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients:
● Salicylic Acid (BHA): BHAs are lipophilic, meaning they clear out follicles of excess debris and sebum. They also go deepest into pores, unclogging the most stubborn breakouts.
● Glycolic and Lactic Acid (AHA): AHAs are hydrophilic, meaning they break the water bonds attaching dead skin cells to healthy skin. They exfoliate skin’s surface, making fine lines visibly less noticeable and getting rid of surface imperfections.
● Gluconolactone (PHA): The molecules in PHAs are larger than those in other acids so it’s extra gentle on the skin and exfoliates while moisturizing and conditioning.
● Plus pure aloe, glycerin and niacinamide: these make the formula as soothing as possible, according to Glossier.
