Are dead skin cells blocking your way to healthier skin? Glycolic acid can help!
Used by dermatologists and skin care professionals to keep your skin clear and radiant, Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from fruit and dairy products.
Glycolic Acid removes the upper layer of old and dead skin cells, while encouraging the growth of younger, smoother and evenly pigmented looking skin.
Simply put, Glycolic Acid speeds up the skin renewal process.
Glycolic acid reduces the cohesion of the dead skin cells, especially when excess skin cells have accumulated. Glycolic acid loosens the intercellular glue that is responsible for excessive keratinization and results in thicker stratum corneum layer.
Glycolic Acid is very effective in treating many other skin conditions including white-heads, blackheads, pustules, age spots and age-thickened skin.
Recent studies have shown that Glycolic Acid can be used in specific skin care programs to combat:
 Acne / blemished skin
Dry skin
Sun damaged skin
Blotchy pigmentation / Hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Oily skin control
Dry, scaly feet
When using skin lightning products containing hydroquinone, (like Bleaching Cream 2.2.2 and Bleaching Lotion Forte) treating the skin with Glycolic Acid Pads allows the hydroquinone to better reach the overactive melanocytes which causes dark spots on the skin. These "dark spots" are commonly known as melasma, sun spots or age spots as seen on the face and the back of the hands.
