Glycolic Acid is an AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) known for its smoothing and resurfacing benefits and all-in-all, a real glow-getter that has taken the entire beauty industry by storm. By helping to reveal fresh layers of skin, it\u2019s known to visibly treat discoloration, improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, target acne-prone skin and most importantly, exfoliate for a more radiant complexion.<\/p>\n

Glycolic Acid has been at the heart of NEOSTRATA\u00ae since 1974 when our founders first discovered the multiple effects of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) on patients with Ichthyosis (dry, thickened, scaly skin.) Yes, at NEOSTRATA\u00ae we are the founders of the benefits of using Glycolic Acid for its skin renewing properties. Don\u2019t worry, you can thank us later!<\/p>\n

What Does Glycolic Acid Do For Your Skin?<\/h1>\n

Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid that is derived from sugar cane. Glycolic Acid normalizes the skin\u2019s exfoliation process, refines the appearance of pore size and smooths the look of fine lines and wrinkles as it retexturizes skin. Glycolic Acid works by loosening the glue-like substance that holds dull and dead skin cells on the topmost layer of your skin, revealing newer, healthier-looking skin. It\u2019s perfect to use as part of a variety of skincare routines from preventing early signs of aging to helping visibly improve acne-prone skin as it helps removes pore-clogging dead skin cells that trap dirt and bacteria.<\/p>\n

Acts As An Exfoliant: Glycolic Acid is a chemical exfoliant that removes the outermost layer of skin cells by dissolving and loosening their bonds \u2013 no harsh scrubbing required!<\/p>\n

Is An Antiaging All-Star: Glycolic Acid can help minimize the visible signs of skin aging like sun damage, while targeting natural collagen (which help give skin its elasticity or \u201cbounce\u201d) to reduce the appearance of surface lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n
