subject: Glycolic Acid, the Wonder Ingredient [print this page] Glycolic Acid is colorless, odorless, crystalline and highly water soluble. It is an important ingredient in numerous skin care products and is derived from sugar crops. This ingredient has a remarkable ability to penetrate skin, rejuvenate it and improve its texture and appearance. It can also reduce acne scarring, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation and improves a number of other skin conditions. On application, Glycolic Acid acts at the topmost layer of the epidermis, acting on the lipids which hold together the dead skin cells, weakening their hold. This allows for exfoliation, exposing fresh skin cells. A Glycolic acid program takes time, but does wonders for the skin with outstanding results. It works by stimulating collagen, elastin and moisture holding ground substances. Other benefits are that it evens skin tone, improves the texture and cleanses follicles.
Glycolic acid with Vitamin C, Licorice and USP grade bovine collagen are some of the ingredients in med|3 Revitalizer and Hydrate Moisturizer.
