Derived from sugar cane, Glycolic Acid belongs in the Alpha Hydroxy Acid family. Known for having the small and most penetrative molecule size, it’s one of the original AHA’s used in skincare for decades.
Gylcolic Acid is an exfoliant with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Its job is to loosen the bond that hold the uppermost underperforming dead skin cells, causing them to shed and reveal underlying skin.
Used for its anti-ageing credentials, glycolic acid also improves the appearance of age spots, acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, melasma, photoaging and oily skin.
