What is it?

+ A chemical exfoliant from the Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) family

+ The AHA with the smallest molecular size (e.g. Lactic, Citric and Mandelic Acids all have larger molecules)

+ Because of the small molecular size it penetrates deeper than other AHAs

+ It stimulates the skin’s own production of Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid

Glycolic Acid Myths

I have sensitive skin so I can’t use Glycolic Acid

All skin types can use Glycolic Acid provided the skin’s barrier protection is healthy enough to support it. For acid newbies, Glycolic Acid should be introduced gradually, building tolerance over time.

It is best to always use a high percentage Glycolic product

The bioavailability of acids is based on both the acid percentage and the pH. Look for a low pH for optimal penetration and efficacy.

Glycolic Acid thins the skin

Whilst incorrect use of chemical exfoliants can cause a compromised skin barrier, when used correctly, Glycolic Acid encourages healthy skin cell turnover for a luminous, resilient complexion.

I can't use Glycolic Acid because I work outside most days

Chemical exfoliants are best used in the evening. To protect your skin and get the best results, you should be wearing broad spectrum SPF 50+ every day.
