Why Glycolic Acid? Clears Acne! Smooths Out Age Thickened Skin!
A natural occurring compound is a member of the chemical family referred to as: ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS.
Glycolic Acid is the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA) in skin care and is made from sugar cane.
It is the only AHA which is able to penetrate through the cell walls by virtue of its small molecular size. Once inside the cell, it will trigger new formation of collagen and turn on the synthesis of dermal glycosaminoglycans to plump up the cell and the ground substances in the skin to reduce wrinkles on the skins surface.
Glycolic Acid also affects the newly forming keratin cells at the bottom of the stratum corneum causing the bulk of the stratum corneum to lift off and separate from the underlying skin. This gives the skin a much smoother look and feel.
Glycolic Acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of acne along with other cosmetic benefits.
The Benefits of glycolic acid make it one of the most effective substances for many skin conditions including:
Acne
Acne Scarring

Glycolic Acids used in combination with MSM, Colostrum and Vitamins (especially vitamin C) will greatly enhance the positive effects from Glycolic Acid treatments. Glycolic Acid and Vitamin C triggers the formation of collagen while MSM, Colostrum and Vitamins feeds the formation and prevents cross-linking between cells when new collagen is being formed Glycolic Acid speeds up the skin renewal process.
