Glycolic acid is one of the most beneficial and well-researched forms of alpha hydroxy acid, and it is less likely than other forms to cause irritation [1].
Glycolic acid helps target skin damage and injuries by promoting regeneration as well as boosting the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin [2-5].
Research shows that alpha hydroxy acid produces dramatic improvements in overall skin texture [3].
Skin health, skin cell rejuvenation, skin firming, and anti-aging [1-4]
Glycolic acid contains alpha hydroxyl acids that promote the exfoliation of dead skin cells [2].
Alpha hydroxy acid has anti-inflammatory properties that help target irritated skin and it enhances blood flow to the skin, which improves skin tone [1-3]. It also helps unclog and reduce the size of pores, which can help reduce the appearance of acne scars [1-3]. Alpha hydroxy acid helps promote increased gene expression of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the dermis and epidermis, which in turn hydrates the skin and improves plumpness [4, 5].
