Looking for ways to achieve flawless and healthy skin with ease?
Achieving flawless and healthy skin can be effortless with one key ingredient: glycolic acid. Known for its transformative properties, glycolic acid offers numerous benefits for all skin types. Let’s dive into what glycolic acid is and explore its seven major benefits for your skin.
What Is Glycolic Acid?
Glycolic acid, derived from sugarcane, is a member of the alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) family. With the smallest and lightest molecular weight among all AHAs, it penetrates deeply into the skin to provide maximum benefits. Glycolic acid is odourless, colourless, and highly water-soluble. It’s used in treatments for various skin types, including oily, acne-prone, dry, dull, sun-damaged, and mature skin. Depending on the concentration (2-15%), glycolic acid can regulate oil production, moisturize, and brighten the skin. However, it can sometimes irritate sensitive skin.
