Glycolic Acid is a superficial peeling agent that is made from sugar cane. It is often considered the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA).

Glycolic/35 works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Working below the surface there is generally very little visible peeling with the Glycolic/35.

With repetitive and continuous use, improvement to skin tone and texture occurs.

Once inside the skin's cell, glycolic acid will serve as a catalyst for the formation of new collagen which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin's surface.

Glycolic acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, melasma, actinic keratosis, acne, and oily skin, as well as other cosmetic uses.
