How does glycolic acid

Glycolic acid (or hydroxyacetic) is a natural product and is the smallest among the existing alpha-hydroxy acids. Its crystals are soluble in water (0.1 g / ml) for which it is possible to formulate a gel-like product. Glycolic acid is extracted mainly by:
- sugar cane
- sugar beet
- Sour grapes
Due to its small molecules (low molecular weight) has an excellent ability to penetrate the layers of skin and perform its primary function which is to weaken the binding abilities of lipids that keep joined together dead skin cells. For this is used in cosmetics primarily as "exfoliating agent." The use of glycolic acid leads to a better appearance of the skin, it can reduce wrinkles and the signs of aging and adjust hyperpigmentation. The exfoliation of the horny layer and the resulting increase in cell renewal rate (turnover), produces an acceleration of the activity of fibroblasts and collagen and elastin production.
