Why May Is the Perfect Time to Introduce Glycolic Cream into Your Nightly Skincare Routine

As the seasons shift and UV exposure decreases, May is an ideal time to introduce Glycolic Cream into your nightly skincare routine. Cooler weather allows skin to comfortably adjust to active products, making autumn the perfect season for skin renewal and refinement.

To support this seasonal transition, Dermatech is offering a special May promotion:
Receive a FREE Travel Dermablock 30+ (valued at $19.90 RRP) with every Glycolic Cream purchased — just in time for Mother’s Day.


Why Glycolic Cream Is Best Used at Night

Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its exfoliating properties. When applied in the evening, Glycolic Cream works while the skin is in repair mode, helping to refine skin texture and support a brighter, smoother appearance.

Night‑time use is recommended because glycolic acid can increase skin sensitivity to UV exposure. With shorter days and reduced sun intensity, autumn and winter are ideal seasons to begin glycolic‑based skincare.

Benefits of using Glycolic Cream at night:
♦ Gently exfoliates and refreshes skin texture
♦ Supports brighter, clearer‑looking skin
♦ Enhances absorption of other skincare products
♦ Works in harmony with the skin’s natural overnight renewal cycle

By introducing Glycolic Cream gradually and using it as directed, it can become a valuable part of a consistent evening routine.


Autumn Skincare: Why Season Matters

Seasonal skincare adjustments are essential. After summer sun exposure, skin can appear dull, uneven, or congested. Autumn is about recovery and renewal, making it the perfect time to focus on exfoliation and maintenance rather than aggressive treatment.

This is why many professionals recommend introducing glycolic acid skincare during the cooler months, when skin is less exposed to intense UV radiation but still responsive to active ingredients.


Everyday Sun Protection Still Matters

Even when the temperature drops, daily sun protection remains essential. UVA rays are present year‑round and contribute to premature skin ageing.

Dermablock 30+ offers broad‑spectrum protection suitable for everyday use, forming an important part of a complete skincare routine — especially when using active products such as glycolic acid.

Using an SPF daily helps:
♦ Protect skin results achieved overnight
♦ Reduce UV‑related skin damage
♦ Maintain overall skin health year‑round
