Glycolic Acid

INCI: Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid is the smallest and most well-researched Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), derived from sugar cane. Renowned for its exceptional ability to effectively exfoliate the skin’s surface, it has become a cornerstone in advanced skincare for those seeking a radiant, smoother, and clearer complexion. Unlike physical exfoliants, Glycolic Acid works chemically by gently dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to slough off naturally to reveal fresh, healthy skin beneath.

Key Benefits of Glycolic Acid:

  • Exfoliates & Resurfaces: Gently removes dead skin cells, promoting smoother texture.
  • Brightens & Evens Tone: Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation for a luminous complexion.
  • Clarifies & Minimizes Pores: Unclogs pores, reducing blackheads and blemishes while minimizing pore size.
  • Boosts Radiance: Removes dull cells, enhancing skin’s natural glow.
  • Improves Product Penetration: Enhances absorption of other skincare ingredients.
  • Stimulates Collagen Production: Long-term use increases collagen synthesis, improving firmness and reducing fine lines.

Important Considerations for Using Glycolic Acid:

Sun Sensitivity: Products containing Glycolic Acid (AHA) can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and limit sun exposure.

Gradual Introduction: Start by using GA products a few times a week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.15

Patch Testing: Always perform a patch test when introducing new active ingredients to your routine.
