GlyMed Plus Daily Skin Clarifier

A botanical serum for estheticians to prevent and reduce hyperpigmentation.

Professional Overview

GlyMed Plus Daily Skin Clarifier is a botanical-based brightening serum designed for use in professional skincare treatments. This serum targets hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. It is suitable for routine use in anti-aging or corrective facial treatments.

Key Active Ingredients

• Bearberry Leaf Extract: Acts as a natural skin lightener by inhibiting tyrosinase, reducing melanin production.
• Licorice Root Extract: Provides brightening and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to balance skin tone.
• Mulberry Bark Extract: Inhibits melanin production and calms inflammation.
• Phytic Acid: A gentle exfoliant that accelerates cell turnover, aiding in the removal of discolored cells.
• Green Tea Leaf Extract: Offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, protecting against environmental stress.

Effects / Clinical Benefits

The primary benefit of GlyMed Plus Daily Skin Clarifier is its ability to prevent and reduce hyperpigmentation through a gentle, multi-faceted approach. The serum not only addresses existing dark spots but also prevents new ones from forming. The inclusion of antioxidants further helps in protecting the skin from oxidative stress.

Client Suitability

This serum is ideal for clients with mild to moderate hyperpigmentation, sensitive skin, or those who are prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, it is particularly beneficial for clients who cannot tolerate stronger acids or hydroquinone.

Professional Application

• Treatment Pairing: Ideal for incorporation into anti-aging or brightening facials.
• Layering: Apply after cleansing and toning, followed by moisturizer.
• Cadence: Use twice daily, morning and evening.
• Home Care Recommendation: Advise clients to apply a broad-spectrum SPF after morning use.

Contraindications & Cautions

While generally safe for sensitive skin, a patch test is recommended for those with very reactive skin. Caution should be taken when layering with other strong actives such as retinol. Avoid use if the client is allergic to any of its components.
