 Glycolic Acid Is?
Glycolic Acid Chemistry for Skin Care
Glycolic acid is a non-toxic, naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acid other examples of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) are lactic acid from sour milk, tartaric acid from wine, and malic acid from apples. Glycolic acid from sugar cane is the smallest molecular size of all the alpha hydroxy acids. The small single-chain molecule penetrates the skin, providing a faster and more dramatic result. If you look at lactic acid under a microscope, it appears similar to a large boulder rolling across the surface of the skin. Glycolic acid was patented by Ruey Yu, Ph.D., chemist, and Eugene Van Scott, M.D., for 35 uses, the most popular are acne, hyperpigmentation (brown spots or uneven skin tone), aging, and small scar reduction. Nicholas Perricone, M.D., has the patent for ingrown hairs, extremely helpful for curly hair growing back into the skin. Target areas are beards for men and bikini lines for women. Medical studies prove you need an 8 - 12% glycolic acid product twice a day to change the skin and maintain the change. We start everyone on a 12 - 15% product and gradually increase the level with each new purchase.
YOU MUST GIVE YOUR SKIN 6 - 8 MONTHS TO see the beginning of the full results.
