Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates by penetrating the outer surface of your skin. It’s derived from sugar cane but can also be found in plants and fruits like beets, pineapples and grapes. AHAs dissolve the bonds that hold dull, dead cells together on the surface of the skin so it will gently shed, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. Glycolic acid has one of the smallest molecular sizes, which makes it easier to break through dead skin cells without being too abrasive. Fights acne, reduces hyperpigmentation, boosts hydration & improves skin texture
