Solution Skin-Perfecting Daily Chemical Exfoliator

Glossier Solution is a daily liquid exfoliant that swaps gritty scrubs for a trio of acids — AHA, BHA and PHA — swept on with a cotton pad. Used consistently, it works on blackheads, the look of enlarged pores and overall dullness, with the brand claiming visibly transformed skin in four weeks.

What it actually does

• Exfoliates on three fronts. Glycolic acid (AHA) targets tone and texture, salicylic acid (BHA) clears out blackheads, and gluconolactone (PHA) exfoliates gently while conditioning skin.
• No scrubbing required. The acids dissolve dead surface cells chemically — kinder to skin than physical scrubs, and niacinamide rounds out the blend.
• Targets pores and dark spots over time. The formula is aimed at dullness, visible pores and dark spots across normal, dry, combination and oily skin.
• Brand-reported timeline. In Glossier's independent study of 60 people (ages 14–40), 3 out of 4 reported cleaner, softer-feeling skin within 24 hours, smoother and brighter skin after one week, and smaller-looking pores by week two.
• Vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free.

How to use

1. After cleansing, hold a cotton pad on the pump and press down to soak it.
2. Sweep the pad up and across the face and neck, pressing gently as you go — avoid the eye area.
3. Give it a moment to absorb before the rest of your routine.
4. New to acids, sensitive, or on acne medication? Start once every three days and build gradually toward daily use. Scale back if you notice dryness or peeling.
5. Wear sunscreen during the day — non-negotiable with any chemical exfoliant. External use only.

Questions

Can I really use an acid exfoliant every day?

That's how it's designed — the PHA in the blend is one of the gentlest exfoliating acids. But work up to it: Glossier recommends starting once every three days if you're new to chemical exfoliation, then increasing as your skin adjusts.

My skin is peeling slightly — should I stop?

Reduce frequency rather than quitting: drop to once a day or once every other day, per the brand's directions. If irritation persists, pause and let skin recover.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Items on hand ship at the short end; items sourced for your order take longer.

Which payment methods work?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — no cash on delivery.

What if the bottle arrives damaged or expired?

Returns apply to defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery. After verification, your refund goes to the original payment method within 15–30 days.
