Glycolic Acid

For generations people have been looking for ways to have smoother, healthier skin. In the days of Cleopatra, women would bathe in sour milk; ladies of the French Court used fermented wine on their faces to keep their skin smooth and free of blemishes. We have now learned that there was a method and science to their madness. Glycolic Acid, found in sugar cane, is one of a number of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids that occur naturally in nature as well as our own body.

Glycolic Acid is considered by many researchers to be the most adaptable for cosmetic purposes due to its small molecular size. Systematic application of glycolic acid delivers remarkable benefits for some of the most common skin conditions. The addition of glycolic acid into a client's regular skin care regimen along with higher concentrations applied professionally provides the client a perfect solution for problematic skin. Glycolic acid's adaptability to specific skin requirements allows the skin care professional the ability to treat a variety of skin conditions such as oily acne prone skin, enlarged pore size, dry and maturing skin and pigmentation conditions.

Glycolic acid is beneficial in the improvement of age spots, lines and wrinkles, and the retexturing of aged skin. The epidermis (outer layer) becomes compact and organized allowing the dryness associated with maturing skin to be controlled while providing additional smoothness. The use of a total sun block is vital in the prevention of premature aged skin. The benefits of glycolic acid are cumulative resulting in clearer, smoother, healthier looking skin.
