How does Glycolic Acid work on the skin?
Glycolic acid is an alphahydroxy acid derived form sugar cane. Glycolic acid, because of its small molecular size, has the greatest penetration potential of all the AHA’s. Technically, glycolic acid helps loosen the ionic bonds (glue that holds dead skin cells together) between surface cells, allowing cellular surface debris to slough off. It gently removes dead cell debris for the skins surface to reveal a softer, smoother, clearer, brighter, younger looking skin.
