Glycolic Acid, a member of the AHA's (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), instantly brightens your complexion by exfoliating skin using natural chemistry which transforms your outer dead skin cell layer to provide a radiant luster. This translates to instant gratification when you add Glycolic Acid Face Cream to your skin care regimen.
Glycolic Acid also acts as a powerful skin lightener to combat irregular skin pigment, lighten melasma and diminish the appearance of age spots. The ability to remove the top layer of skin to reveal fresh skin underneath means that Glycolic Acid products can also make your skin more vulnerable to the sun. You should therefore use a sunscreen in conjunction with this, or any product that contains Glycolic Acid.
