The Active, non-neutralized difference
Our products utilize fully active ingredients including non-neutralized glycolic acid and trichloroacetic acid.
When applying real glycolic acid, the skin will experience the Trustworthy Tingle. This tingling sensation is the indication that the glycolic acid is fully active (non-neutralized) and is working as it should by entering the pores.
Dermatologist’s Choice’s non-neutralized glycolic acid provides the full strength of a medical-grade skincare treatment.
Other Skincare Brands
Non-Active or Slightly Active Ingredients
These products contain very slightly active ingredients (or neutralized active ingredients). For example, retinol, vitamin C, ferulic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid.
These products typically add buffer ingredients that compromise the effectiveness and expected results from glycolic acid.
Non-active (neutralized) glycolic acid will not effectively penetrate into the deeper layers of skin or the pores, preventing it from activating the skin’s natural regeneration and exfoliation process.
Over 40 Years Utilizing Fully Active Ingredients
Formulated in 1981 by Dr. Bottiglione, we care for your skincare the way your dermatologist would by using potent medical-grade treatments that have outlasted all the trends in skincare. You’ll get refreshed, rejuvenated skin and feel healthier and more confident.

"Thanks for helping me avoid upper lip filler. Just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your products... I used your Ultra Anti-Aging Cream for two weeks (I did it more often) and peeled layers of dead old skin away. Then, I used the daily moisture cream ... now I don't need fillers ... just your products!"
