Melao Glycolic Acid Peel Serum 70% 30ml30ml

Key Ingredients

• IMPORTANT SOURCING DISCLOSURE: MedEasy found multiple, mutually contradictory ingredient disclosures for this exact product name across different sources, including several official-looking but self-submitted US FDA drug-listing records (which are not independently reviewed by the FDA for accuracy). Most of the consumer-facing ingredient panels MedEasy could find do NOT actually list "Glycolic Acid" by its chemical name among the ingredients, despite "70% Glycolic Acid" being the product's headline marketing claim. MedEasy could not resolve this contradiction and is disclosing it explicitly rather than presenting an unverified ingredient list as fact
• Ingredients that DO appear consistently across several sources include plant-derived extracts such as Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis) Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Sugarcane (Saccharum Officinarum) Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, and Propylene Glycol -- though even these vary somewhat between sources
• MedEasy cannot independently confirm the actual Glycolic Acid content of this product and recommends buyers who want a verified acid concentration check the physical product's own printed ingredient panel before use

Key Features

• Manufactured by Guangzhou Yilong Cosmetics Co., Ltd. (also trading as Guangzhou Yilong Daily Chemicals Co., Ltd.), Guangzhou, China
• This product is marketed at a 70% concentration, which -- if accurate -- would be a professional/clinical-strength chemical peel concentration. Typical at-home retail exfoliating acid products are formulated in the 5-10% range; professional in-clinic peels can reach higher concentrations but are applied by a trained professional with controlled timing and a neutralization step. A 70%-labeled product sold for unsupervised home use, if the concentration is accurate, carries meaningfully higher burn/irritation risk than typical OTC exfoliants
• Usage-instruction inconsistency: MedEasy found different usage instructions across different retailers for this same product -- some describe a neutralization step (rinsing with a neutralizing agent after a short contact time), while others give no such step and no clear time limit. This inconsistency is itself a safety concern, and MedEasy strongly recommends following the most conservative approach described below rather than any single retailer's instructions

Benefits

• Marketed for exfoliation, brightening, and smoother-looking skin texture, consistent with general AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) exfoliant benefits when acid-based exfoliation is genuinely present in a formula
• Given the unresolved ingredient/concentration disclosure issues above, MedEasy cannot confirm the specific strength of these benefits for this exact product and encourages a cautious, conservative approach to expectations

Who Can Use This Product

• MedEasy recommends this product only for those already experienced with chemical exfoliants, and suggests consulting a dermatologist before use, particularly given the marketed 70% concentration and the inconsistent safety guidance found across sources
• Not recommended for first-time users of acid exfoliants, or for anyone unfamiliar with chemical peel protocols (timed application, neutralization, and aftercare)
• Not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without medical guidance
• Not suitable for use on broken, sunburned, or irritated skin
• A patch test is strongly recommended before full-face use
• Discontinue immediately and seek medical advice if burning, excessive redness, or skin damage occurs

How to Use

• Given the inconsistent instructions found across sources, MedEasy recommends the more cautious protocol found among available sources, rather than any single retailer's simplified instructions:
• Cleanse and thoroughly dry the skin before application
• Apply a thin layer only, avoiding the eye area, and limit initial contact time to a very short duration (some sources suggest starting around 1 minute or less for first use)
• Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water; some sources recommend an additional neutralizing rinse (such as a mild alkaline solution) before final rinsing -- if you are not confident in performing this step safely, do not use this product without professional guidance
• Apply moisturizer and sunscreen afterward
• Do not exceed the frequency of use suggested by a dermatologist or skincare professional; this is not intended for frequent, unsupervised use

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children
• Keep the bottle tightly closed after use
• For external use only; avoid contact with eyes -- rinse thoroughly with water immediately if contact occurs
• Do not use on damaged, broken, or sunburned skin
• If accidentally swallowed, contact a poison control center or seek medical attention immediately
• Stop use and consult a doctor immediately if a rash, burning sensation, or any skin damage develops

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Is this product really 70% Glycolic Acid?

A: This is the concentration marketed consistently across retailers, but MedEasy found that most consumer-facing ingredient panels for this product do not actually list Glycolic Acid by name, and several official-looking source records for this product name are mutually contradictory. MedEasy could not independently verify the true concentration and discloses this uncertainty rather than confirming the marketed figure as fact.

Q: Is it safe to use a 70%-strength acid product at home?

A: If the concentration is accurate, 70% is a professional/clinical-strength peel level typically applied under trained supervision with controlled timing and neutralization. MedEasy recommends consulting a dermatologist before using this product and following the most cautious usage protocol, rather than treating this as a routine at-home exfoliant.

Q: Do I need to neutralize this product after applying it?

A: Some sources describe a neutralizing rinse step; others do not mention one at all. Given this inconsistency and the marketed concentration, MedEasy recommends following the more cautious protocol described above, or consulting a professional if you are not confident performing this step safely.

Q: Who manufactures this product?

A: Guangzhou Yilong Cosmetics Co., Ltd., based in Guangzhou, China.

Q: Is this suitable for first-time users of chemical exfoliants?

A: No, MedEasy recommends this product only for those already experienced with chemical peels, and suggests consulting a dermatologist first given the marketed concentration and inconsistent safety guidance found across sources.
