Gycolic acid 7% serum around eye area, safe or not?

We advise caution when applying products around the eye area, as it can be very delicate. When applying glycolic acid, we recommend avoiding the eye area. Although glycolic acid can help with skin texture, use of high concentrations of glycolic acid can result in mild symptoms like redness. If you are looking for a higher percentage of glycolic acid, we recommend SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight. This nighttime glycolic acid cream delivers a true 10% glycolic acid value to promote cellular turnover for healthy, glowing skin. Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight is also synergistically blended with 2% phytic acid to promote skin clarity and brightness, and a triple action-soothing complex to help support the skin barrier. It is an ideal complement to chemical peels to pre-condition skin and extend results. Some skin types may require time to acclimate to glycolic acid. In these cases, condition skin by limiting initial use to once every other evening. Apply an even, pea-sized layer over entire face and neck, while avoiding the eye area. For replenishment for skin under the eyes, we recommend tapping in a small amount of our corrective eye product: SkinCeuticals A.G.E Eye Complex. Combined with a synergistic formula of proxylane, blueberry extract, and peptides, this product reduces the appearance of fine lines around the eyes. Hope this helps.

7% glycolic acid is very weak and can be used around the eyes as long as you are careful not to get it in the eyes.
