Glycolic Acid

Commonly derived from sugar cane, glycolic acid is the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHA). This potent ingredient effectively loosens and releases dead and dehydrated cells, increasing the rate of exfoliation on the surface of the skin. This exfoliation promotes cellular turnover, which helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and dull skin tone. The effectiveness of glycolic acid is determined by its free acid value – the active acid available to work on your skin.
