The Paula’s Choice Daily Smoothing Treatment 5% AHA Glycolic Acid is a leave-on exfoliating toner formulated to sweep away dull surface buildup, smooth uneven texture, and restore radiance to normal, dry, or sun-damaged skin. When rough patches and fine lines leave the complexion looking tired, its balanced blend of exfoliating acids helps reveal the softer, brighter-looking skin waiting underneath.
Key Benefits:
5% Glycolic Acid Exfoliation: Glycolic acid loosens and removes dead surface cells, helping to refine rough texture, soften the appearance of fine lines, and improve visible brightness.
Lightweight, Leave-On Formula: The fluid texture absorbs easily without abrasive scrubbing, allowing skin to feel refreshed, comfortable, and prepared for the rest of your routine.
Smoother, More Even-Looking Skin: With consistent use, the treatment helps reduce the appearance of dullness, uneven tone, clogged pores, and signs of sun damage for a polished, healthy-looking complexion.
Specifications:
Ideal For: Normal to dry skin experiencing rough texture, dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, or visible sun damage.
Texture / Finish: Lightweight liquid with a smooth, non-greasy finish that layers comfortably beneath serums and moisturizers.
Key Ingredients: 5% glycolic acid for surface exfoliation, salicylic acid to help clear pore buildup, and antioxidant-rich supporting ingredients to condition and defend the skin.
How to Use:
After cleansing, apply a small amount over the face and neck with your fingertips or a cotton pad, avoiding the eye area; do not rinse. Begin every other day to let the skin adjust, then increase to once daily if well tolerated. Follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer, and always finish daytime routines with broad-spectrum sunscreen because exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity.
This treatment turns a simple daily step into a gradual skin-renewing ritual. Rather than relying on harsh scrubs or a temporary glow, it works consistently to uncover smoother texture and clearer radiance. With patient, regular use and diligent sun protection, skin can feel softer, look more even, and regain the fresh luminosity that dull buildup once concealed.
