Glycolic Acid is derived from fruit sugar acids. It is a member of the Alpha Hydroxy
Acid and Beta Hydroxy Acid (AHA and BHA ) families. Some of the better-known
acids are citric acid from citrus fruit, lactic acid from milk, and tartaric acid from
wine.
Glycolic Acid is safe and non-toxic substance that does not enter the blood
stream. It works by dissolving a glue-like substance in the upper layer of the skin.
This dissolving causes the dead skin cells to slough off the surface more quickly
than usual. This increase in cell turnover stimulates the skin to increase collagen
production thus smoothing skin imperfections as well as improving the overall
strength and integrity of the tissue.
