KEY INGREDIENTS:
Glycolic Acid 5%
This ingredient dissolves the intercellular cement responsible for
abnormal keratinization. In acne prone skin, this is of particular importance
as the pore is clogged and filled with keratinized dead cells. Glycolic
acid helps with dry and oil conditions alike. It dissolves the dry and thick
layers of skin and unclogs the pores as well as helping other nourishing
products and ingredients to penetrate. The stimulation achieved by a
therapeutic glycolic product also increases circulation, smooths uneven
skin, and improves the overall function of the skin. Another well-known
benefit of glycolic acid is its ability to improve the appearance of surface
hyperpigmentation, often seen in acne prone skin.
Lactic Acid (3%)
An alpha hydroxy acid derived from sour milk. Lactic acid has been used
for centuries to relieve dry, aged skin. Lactic acid has better water intake
than glycerin and studies have reported that it has the ability to increase
the “water holding” capacity in the corneum layer as well as improve the
elasticity of the skin.
Witch Hazel Extract (Hamamelis Virginiana)
This ingredient is known for its astringent properties. Witch hazel extract
is also toning, anti-inflammatory, and regulating. It has a vasoconstrictor
effect that is excellent for inflamed, irritated, or acneic skin conditions.
