What are its benefits?
Glycolic acid is primarily used as an exfoliant that induces skin desquamation and boosts cell turnover to remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, helping to keep pores clear and skin looking luminous and vibrant. It also has been proven to boost collagen synthesis, which starts to decrease as we age.
It helps to combat this collagen decrease and keep the skin looking young and firm, whilst significantly reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Glycolic acid also stimulates cell renewal to help reduce melanin accumulation on the skin and, as a result, visibly improve dark spots.
