Took me 8 months to figure out why my glycolic peels were inconsistent

I started doing glycolic peels about a year ago and could never get the same result twice. Some clients would peel perfectly, others would have barely any reaction. I was adjusting pH levels, changing application times, even testing different brands. After 8 months of this back and forth I finally realized the issue was how I was storing the solution. I kept my glycolic acid on a shelf right above my sink where steam from hot water got to it every day. The heat and moisture degraded the active ingredients. Now I keep it in a mini fridge in my treatment room and every single peel comes out consistent. Has anyone else had product performance tank because of bad storage?

Did I leave my wine fridge half full of skincare while my actual wine sits in a cupboard?

The fact that you're calling it a "wine fridge" just proves the system works... that baby's been a skincare vault for months now, hasn't it. Plus think about it, your serums and masks need a steady cool temp way more than that bottle of cabernet you'll open next time your in-laws visit. If anything, this is just good resource management, like turning a spare bedroom into a walk-in closet. Don't let the grocery store wine guilt you into rearranging your life, the fridge knows its true purpose now.
