Glycolic Acid is what is known as an "alpha hydroxy acid," or "AHA." Alpha hydroxy acids are a family of acids that occur naturally in various fruits and foods and are often collectively referred to as fruit. Glycolic Acid loosens the "glue-like" attachments or cellular cement that is characteristic of many skin conditions such as acne, photodamage (environmental aging), and hyperpigmentation. This non-invasive lifting of the cells in the stratum corneum can immensely improve the appearance of the skin and has even proven to be a valuable tool in reducing the depth of acne scarring.
Medical studies have also revealed that Glycolic Acid may help stimulate collagen, increase epidermal volume, and even act as a powerful antioxidant and free radical inhibitor.
Jan Marini Skin Research created Bioglycolic products to provide the ultimate resurfacing agents along with additional scientifically calculated components that equate to unparalleled skin care management.
