High-purity (99%) Glycolic Acid Powder. Known as the "gold standard" of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), this fine crystalline powder allows you to create customized serums, toners, and exfoliating masks tailored specifically to your skin’s needs.
With the smallest molecular weight of all AHAs, it penetrates deeper and faster to break down the "glue" that holds dead skin cells together, revealing a brighter, smoother, and more youthful complexion.
Key Benefits:
Deep Exfoliation & Radiance: Gently dissolves dulling, dead skin cells, instantly boosting radiance and improving uneven skin tone.
Anti-Aging Powerhouse: Stimulates collagen production and boosts cellular turnover, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
Acne & Pore Management: Effectively unclogs pores, reduces blackheads, and helps fade post-acne hyperpigmentation.
Customizable Concentration: Create your own 1%–10% formulas for daily use or higher percentages for intensive, weekly peels.

As of August 29, 2025, there is a 35% tariff or duty charge imposed on all goods coming into the U.S. from Canada. The United States mandates that all packages entering the U.S. from Canada must have their duties prepaid (settled upfront).
Our "USA only" pricing incorporates the necessary duty and processing fee calculated separately for each item. The advantage is that we charge the exact duty for each item and use the most economical shipping rates for orders bound for the U.S. Consequently, our prices are more budget-friendly compared to the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping option, where you might pay a lower item price but face exorbitant shipping costs, as the estimation for duty and duty processing fees is included in the shipping charges. In the DDP scenario, shipping companies rely on a general estimate for duties which can exceed the true amount, as they do not possess the exact information for each unique item.
