Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel is a potent blend of two beneficial acids, specifically formulated to address a range of skin conditions. Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), works to exfoliate the skin, reduce inflammation, and diminish the appearance of wrinkles. Lactic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), aids in reducing oiliness, unclogging pores, and lightening dark spots. The combined action of these two acids provides a comprehensive treatment for various skin conditions.

This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency. The Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel can be applied directly to the affected area, once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition. It's important to note that this formulation may cause some irritation, redness, or dryness initially. Therefore, it's recommended to start with a small amount and gradually increase the quantity as tolerated.

For optimal results, it's advised to use the Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel in conjunction with other treatments, such as sun protection and moisturizers. This formulation is safe for all skin types and can be used alongside other topical medications. It's crucial to remember that skincare is a comprehensive approach, and this product is a valuable addition to your skincare regimen.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel is a potent blend of two alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), specifically designed to exfoliate the skin, reduce inflammation, and enhance the appearance of various skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, and keratosis pilaris. This unique formulation combines the deep exfoliating properties of glycolic acid, a smaller molecule that penetrates the skin more effectively, with the anti-inflammatory benefits of lactic acid, a larger molecule that improves the skin's overall appearance.

When applied topically, this gel works by exfoliating the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This process helps to diminish the appearance of acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, and keratosis pilaris. Additionally, the gel's anti-inflammatory properties help to alleviate redness and irritation associated with these conditions.

Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel should be applied to the affected area once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition. It is crucial to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when using this product, as AHAs can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. It is also recommended to start with a lower concentration of AHAs and gradually increase the concentration as the skin becomes more tolerant.

If you have any questions about using Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 7% Topical Day Gel to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, or keratosis pilaris, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
