Glycolic acid

Glycolic acid is derived from the sugar cane. It belongs to the alpha hydroxy acid class. Glycolic acid has a very small molecular size which enables it to quite easily penetrate the skin’s surface. Due to its ability to stimulate the cell regeneration and exfoliation, the skin becomes much healthier, younger, and smoother. Glycolic acid helps to unglue the layer of dead cells as well as increase cells’ turnover. As a result, the healthy cells can rise to the skin’s surface at much faster and more efficient rate than they normally would.

The properties of glycolic acid  bring a lot of benefits to the skin. It helps improve the colour and texture of the skin. The skin that appears to be dry, thickened, and/or damaged by the sun would experience significant improvements during a regular usage of glycolic acid ingredient in one’s skin care routine. Moreover, the skin will also be more hydrated, rejuvenated, and fresher looking.  The wrinkles and age spots will greatly be reduced. Lastly, the usage of glycolic acid helps to unclog pores.

The use of glycolic acid in Dermatology has solid scientific grounds and multiple published papers confirm it:
