Widely acclaimed in scientific circles, Glycolic Acid is thought to be the most effective and suitable fruit acid for cosmetic application. This is the Antiaging fountain of Youth. Since Glycolic Acid has the smallest molecular structure of all Glycolic Acid - AHAs, it is believed to possess the greatest penetration potential. When compared to most other cosmetically used AHAs (i.e. lactic, citric, tartaric, etc.) Our formula and Home Chemical Peel products are proven the MOST EFFECTIVE for skin care! The Doctors favorite.
It has even been known to be used for mole removal!
Proper skin care can be very confusing. Many products and many Glycolic Acid brands are available, both over-the-counter and stronger products available only through a physician's office. If one understands how and why the Glycolic products work, this will be a big step in eliminating some of the confusion.First, one should understand glycolic acid compounds. Glycolic acid is one of the alpha-hydroxy acids. When used on a regular basis, this will remove the outer dead layers of cells.
Why is this important?
There is a normal turnover of cells with new cells replacing aging and dying cells. The dying and dead cells form the outermost layer of skin, which we call the "keratin layer". The keratin layer is an important consideration for a number of reasons:
1. It interferes with the penetration of moisturizing creams.
2. It contains sun-damaged cells with some of the cells becoming abnormal and forming the precursors to skin cancer (actinic keratoses). By removing this outer layer of dead cells, moisturizing creams are better able to penetrate into the deeper layers, and sun damaged skin can be improved.
