The Vitamin Serum and Glycolic night cream are both Essential Skincare products.
The Vitamin Infusion Serum contains 10% Vitamin C and Vitamins A, E, B3, B5, CoEnzyme Q10, and emu oil to ensure maximum penetration into the deeper epidermal layers of the skin
I agree with you that I only suggest using 1 glycolic acid product, although others may disagree, glycolic acid is a strong AHA which you can tell because the higher the percentage the more it stings your skin. Anymore than 1 glycolic acid product will most likely just irritate the skin. The skin becomes healthier and clearer by rebuilding new skin cells after they have been exfoliated off, and using too many glycolic acid products is not giving the skin time to rebuild itself.
I use the Pore Clarifying Night Cream which contains 10% glycolic acid as well as Salicylic Acid to fight visible acne at the same time. While glycolic acid absorbs deep into the pores to clean, Salicylic Acid's large molecule size sits on the surface to fight visible acne. Emu Oil and Aloe Vera are also added to moisturize, sooth, and ensure deeper epidermal penitration with in the skin. I use this one because I have acne prone skin.
If you don't have acne prone skin there is the Rejuvinating Anti Aging Night Cream. This cream has 8% glycolic acid so it is not as irritating for those with dry or sensitive skin. This is also good for those who are slightly acne prone or acne prone but with sensitive skin. In addition to the Glycolic Acid it contains Hyaluronic Acid which is the best humectant for the skin. It is able to retain more than 1000 times its weight in water, meaning it is able to hydrate the skin. Most people ascociate moisturizers with oils, but what the skin needs is water. Humectants are ingredients that are able to retain water to keep the skin moisturized. Emu Oil is also added to ensure deeper peentration of the hyaluronic Acid. As well as Aloe Vera.
When looking for a good Glycolic Acid night cream I highly suggest not getting a higher percentage than 10%, especially if you haven't used glycolic acids before. Also you want to avoid as many chemicals as possible in all skin care products. At first you may notice that you have a few new breakouts, which is normal because the Glycolic Acid is able to clean underneath the skins surface, so it is bringing acne underneath the skin to the surface.
Let me know if you have any questions=)
