One of the most reputable skin care products are these with glycolic acid in them, mainly formed of alpha hydroxyl acid, being naturally derived from sugar cane the glycolic acid has some amazing properties such as exfoliating used in skin care products. Popular sources of glycolic acid include the citric acid of lemon, orange and grapefruit extracts.

The glycolic acid helps in removal of skin and dead skin cells preventing the formation of acne, also takes care of the bacteria forming pimples and the inflammations caused by acne and blemishes. Helps in cleaning skin pores and thus increasing the effect ofskin care products, plus it manages to keep the skin moisture and shinny.

Due to its small molecular size, the glycolic acid can easily pass through the skin interacting with cells and increasing the formation of new collagen stimulating the synthesis process of dermal glycos amino glycans. This results in reducing wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. Besides that the glycolic acid manages to reach the keratin cells and separating them from each other which result in skin exfoliation and the skin becomes smooth and natural looking. Being gentle on skin, the glycolic acid works just fine in any skin care product such as cleanser, moisturizers and other skin treatments. Glycolic acid rebuilds the skin while keeping it moisture and smooth.
