Glycolic Acid Pads (30 Pads)
Glycolic Acid is the smallest molecule of the Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA's) derived from sugar cane. Due to it's small size it is able to penetrate the skin, getting into the pores to clear out debris and unclog the pores.
Glycolic acid is mainly used to improve the appearance, and texture, of the skin through chemical peel process. Once applied, to the skin, it breaks down the lipids that hold the dead skin cells on the surface, speeding their removal, resulting in an improved appearance with fewer spots, refined pores, leaving behind a layer of brighter, smooth skin. Glycolic acid also reduces the amount of surface skin oil, which aids in the removal of blackheads and other skin impurities and a more even skin tone that is more radiant. They say that 18 year old skin exfoliates about every 28 days, which slows down, with the normal aging process, to as high as double that time for 45 year old skin, resulting in dull, dry, congested skin and a patchy complexion.
Through the speeding up of the exfoliation process, Glycolic Acid helpsto improve acne scarring, hyper pigmentation, age spots, wrinkles and seborrheic keratosis, as well as hyper keratosis. This is, essentially, removing old skin to reveal new skin, which is much more refined in appearance but, is also more fragile*, and care must be taken to make sure that it is used properly. Glycolic Acid is not to be taken lightly.
