Additional Information for Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that is commonly used in skincare products. It is derived from sugar cane and belongs to the supply class of Chemicals in the supply group Chemicals And Chemical Products.
Glycolic acid is known for its exfoliating properties, as it helps to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. It is often used in skincare products such as cleansers, toners, serums, and peels.
Some of the benefits of glycolic acid include:
1. Exfoliation: Glycolic acid helps to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother and brighter skin underneath.
2. Anti-aging: It can stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Hyperpigmentation: Glycolic acid can help fade dark spots and uneven skin tone caused by sun damage or acne scars.
4. Acne treatment: It can help unclog pores and reduce the formation of acne by removing excess oil and dead skin cells.
When using products containing glycolic acid, it is important to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase it to avoid skin irritation. It is also recommended to use sunscreen during the day, as glycolic acid can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
Overall, glycolic acid is a versatile ingredient that can improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the skin.
