Product Description
COMPOSITION:
GLYCOLIC ACID :Glycolic acid is an example of an acne-fighting acid. ThisALPHA HYDROXY ACIDthats derived from sugarcane can help those with frequent breakouts and a number of other skincare concerns.When applied to the skin, glycolic acid works to break the bonds between the outer layer of skin cells, including dead skin cells, and the next skin cell layer. This creates a peeling effect that can make the skin appear smoother and more even.
For people with acne, the benefit of glycolic acid is that the peeling effects results in less gunk that clogs the pores. This includes dead skin cells and oil. With less to clog the pores, the skin clears and you usually have fewer breakouts.
Also, glycolic acid can affect the outer skin barrier, helping it retain moisture instead of drying your skin out. This is an advantage for acne-prone people because many other topical anti-acne agents, like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, are drying.
