The Acid Edit: A Professional Guide to Choosing the Right Acid for the Right Client

Glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic, TCA, azelaic…acids are not interchangeable, and choosing the right one starts with understanding the skin in front of you. Face Reality’s latest professional e-book breaks down how different acids work and helps skincare professionals connect each one to concerns including acne, congestion, uneven tone, sensitivity, texture, dehydration and visible signs of aging.

The guide goes beyond ingredient basics with real-world client scenarios that demonstrate how skin condition, tolerance, treatment goals and home care can help guide acid selection.

Face Reality has already helped us build quite the educational library at L+A, and they’re continuing to add fresh resources designed to make skincare pros more confident behind the treatment table. Consider this your newest cheat sheet for answering the question: Which acid, for which client, and why?
