- Results in smoother, brighter skin with a reduced appearance of dark spots and a more even skin tone.
Mechanism of Action: Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that penetrates the stratum corneum and weakens the bonds between corneocytes, facilitating desquamation and stimulating new cell generation. Enhances epidermal turnover, reducing hyperkeratosis and improving skin texture.
