3 Gly Derm moisturizers without glycolic acid These are applied each morning and come in three formulations for every skin type. All Gly Derm moisturizers have been shown to be non-allergenic. Plus they have all been adjusted to a pH compatible with the healthful acid-mantle pH of the skin. Choose one that meets your patient's skin needs:
  Hydrotone Max - For dry or mature skin Compounded with hydrolyzed wax, this is an extremely effective moisturizer for very dry skin or mature skin. Instruct patients to apply only a very small quantity of this product. They should pat it on and gently massage it into the skin, particularly around the eyes. After it is absorbed into the skin (about three to five minutes), gently blot off any excess with a soft tissue.
  Hydrotone - For normal skin An elegant and richly emollient all-purpose moisturizer. Hydrotone is perfect for the overwhelming majority of all Gly Derm patients. It is a heavy and long-acting moisturizer to counteract the dryness related to exfoliation during the initial few weeks of the Gly Derm Program. It is quick to absorb and non-greasy.
  Hydrotone Lite - For normal to oily skin A lighter moisturizer that vanishes on contact with the skin. It is compounded without mineral oil. Hydrotone Lite may have to be used more generously and more frequently than Hydrotone during the first few weeks of the Gly Derm Program. Appropriate for acne prone, teen-age skin.
