Description
Glycolic acid belongs to the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) family and is derived from sugarcane. At 12%, it helps gently dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting exfoliation, improving cellular turnover, and stimulating collagen formation. It is an effective, mid-strength exfoliating treatment ideal for improving skin tone, texture, acne scars, and early signs of aging. When introduced gradually, supported with moisturizers, and protected by sunscreen, it can deliver noticeable results.
Benefits:
- Smooths texture and refines pores
- Fades hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and acne scars
- Reduces fine lines & wrinkles, while enhancing radiance
- Unclogs pores and controls acne, with mild antibacterial effects
Usage:
- Evening use recommended: Start every other night for the first 2 weeks, then daily as tolerated.
- Patch test first, especially if your skin is dry or sensitive.
-
Support with moisturizer, and always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen—AHA use increases photosensitivity.
