Glycolic acid is the smallest molecule in the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) family, glycolic acid effectively penetrates the skin, providing deep and effective exfoliation. It removes the outer layer of skin cells, thus helping to improve the appearance of the skin and to even out its texture.
By eliminating dead cells, glycolic acid not only improves the appearance of the skin, but also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, essential elements for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Naturally, this process reduces damage caused by external factors, such as sun exposure and pollution, contributing to the restoration of a healthy skin level.
Thus, glycolic acid becomes a valuable ally in the skincare routine, ensuring that the skin and skin level are maintained in an optimal state, with a youthful and revitalized appearance.

VERY GOOD ACTIVE THAT IMPROVES THE APPEARANCE OF THE SKIN ON SEVERAL LEVELS, FROM BLEMISHES, WRINKLES AND EVEN ACNE. PERSONALLY I USE IT IN MODERATION BECAUSE I HAVE A MORE SENSITIVE SKIN, BUT I RECOMMEND IT STRONGLY.

A wonderful ingredient for toning and exfoliating products, the appearance of the skin after the first use is still noticeable, I use it successfully both in toners and exfoliating lotions with different concentrations.

Yes, it's one of my favorite actives; the effects are noticeable from the first use. I add it along with fruit acids, in gel or cream.

I use it for face cleansing. I mix it with a calming floral water and apply the result with a cleansing disk at the end of the day. I've given up commercial cosmetics.

Already used it to prepare my most recent glycolic peel! Great product, very affordable. I would recommend to bold the warning on handling to the websites product description for inexperienced users/buyers. It is a concentrated product after all, just in case :)

I added it to the body lotion for exfoliation and to help the skin regenerate more easily! For the complexion I use it alternately with a retinol cream.

I am on my second order and I think I will keep ordering more! It is pure glycolic acid, very concentrated. And I prefer this one over any other solutions, creams or peels with very low concentrations that ultimately don't give the desired results. Having some experience with acids ,I use it directly as a body peeling(no more than 3-4 minutes) and it gives super results, leaves you with baby soft skin after use. I recommend to those experienced in using acids, I think it is the best product of its kind on the market!
