Affordable Skincare Products: 10% Glycolic Pads + Niacinamide

Achieving a radiant complexion doesn't require an expensive, complex routine. The key is using effective, scientifically-backed ingredients. This guide will explore two powerhouse ingredients, Glycolic Acid and Niacinamide, and how you can use these affordable skincare products to achieve your best skin yet. Get ready for skincare that actually does what it says, backed by science, proven by results.

The Exfoliating Power of 10% Glycolic Acid Pads

Glycolic Acid, an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA), is a gold-standard chemical exfoliant. It works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. Its benefits include visibly reducing fine lines, improving texture, and stimulating collagen production for healthy cell turnover.

For a gentle yet effective entry point, we recommend our 10% Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Pads. Each jar contains 50 soft, textured pads saturated in a hydrating formula that won't irritate your skin. Key features include:

• 10% Glycolic Acid: Provides effective yet gentle exfoliation.

• Vitamins B5, C & E: Hydrate the skin and provide antioxidant protection.

• Green Tea & Calendula Extracts: Soothe skin and reduce redness.

• Finger Notch Design: Allows for easy, hygienic access to each pad.

Customers often report smoother skin and minimized pores in as little as one week [1].

The Versatility of Niacinamide Serum

Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, is one of the most versatile ingredients in skincare. It's celebrated for its ability to strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation and redness, regulate oil production, and improve uneven skin tone [3].

Our NiacinaMax Serum is a maximum-strength formula designed to deliver professional results. It features a potent 10% concentration of pure Niacinamide, which is considered an optimal level for efficacy [4]. We've combined it with Tea Tree Oil, Calendula Extract, and Vitamin B5 to help regulate sebum, reduce the appearance of pores, and promote a clear, even complexion.

How to Combine Glycolic Acid and Niacinamide in Your Routine

Combining these two ingredients can deliver pro-level results, straight from your bathroom, no needles required. For optimal benefits, incorporate them into your nightly routine.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean, dry face.

2. Exfoliate: Swipe one 10% Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Pad over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Let the solution dry completely.

3. Treat: Apply a few drops of NiacinaMax Serum and allow it to fully absorb.

4. Moisturize: Finish with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Always perform a patch test before introducing new products. Since Glycolic Acid increases sun sensitivity, daily sunscreen use is crucial.

While other brands like Nip+Fab offer glycolic pads [2], QRxLabs focuses on providing professional-grade concentrations and complementary ingredients for superior value.

Maximize Savings with Skincare Bundles

Building a routine is more affordable when you buy curated sets. Our Acne Care Bundle is a perfect example, combining three targeted products designed to work in synergy to fight blemishes and promote skin clarity. It includes:

• Acne Control Pads: With Glycolic and Salicylic Acid to exfoliate and clear pores.

• NiacinaMax Serum: To soothe skin and prevent future breakouts.

• Glycolic Acid Gel Cleanser: To deeply cleanse and remove impurities.

Finding the Right Products for Your Skin

No matter your age, stage, or skin story, QRxLabs has your back. As your skin adapts to glycolic acid, you may want to advance to a stronger formula. Our 20% Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Pads offer more intensive exfoliation for experienced users.

If you are specifically targeting breakouts, consider the 10/2 Glycolic/Salicylic Acid Acne Control Pads, which combine an AHA with a Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) to exfoliate both the skin's surface and inside the pores. You can explore all of our ingredient-focused collections to find the perfect match for your concerns.
