Glycolic Acid: This ingredient in numerous skin care products has long been a top seller at many spas and dermatology clinics. You can easily utilize this product at home to vamp up your skin care routine – you just need to know what it does before you start incorporating. This product, when used correctly, is safe and will yield fabulous results including softer skin, smoother look, improved texture and tone, and reduced hyperpigmentation.
Top 5 Benefits of Glycolic Acid:
- Exfoliation – Exfoliates and helps to resurface the skin revealing softer, smoother, and more evenly toned skin.
- Brightening – Breaks down dead skin cells, and stimulates collagen production to reveal and produce new, bright, and radiant skin.
