Understanding Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid, a derivative of sugar cane, has the smallest molecular size of all the alpha hydroxy acids. Its size enables it to most effectively rejuvenate the skin through deep penetration.

Glycolic acid targets, loosens and dissolves the strateum corneum and corneocytes leaving the skin with a smooth, moist, refined, vibrant appearance. The strateum corneum is a glue-like substance that holds the outer layer of our cells together; it is the build-up of the strateum corneum that is responsible for the skin's rough, dry, scaly appearance and brown age or sun spots. Corneocytes are dead skin cells that block follicles in the skin and cause acne. Once the follicles are clear the glycolic acid works to keep them clear and prevent acne from reoccurring.

Glycolic acid continues to benefit the deeper layers of the skin by regenerating the production of collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and scarring.
