Glycolic acid and Hyperpigmentation

Application of Gycolic Acid in the form of a chemical Peel will loosen the glue like substance that binds skin cells together. So allowing new skin to surface more quickly and easily. So if skin discolorations sits on the surface of the skin (epidermis) a glycolic chemical will help remove it with regular applications by loosening and removing the top (discolored) layers. Another benefit of glycolic acid chemical peel is the effect it has on acne conditions by unblocking follicles which lead to acne conditions. The new skin may also have a more rejuvenated look producing a more even colour and smoother texture.

An additional benefit of glycolic peels is continous use of these peels may increase cell turnover and improve the production of collagen ( the protein in the skin that prevents the skin from wrinkling and saggaing).

Glycolic Acid chemical Peel Glycolic Acid is part of the alpha hydroxy family. Alpha hydroxy acids are produced naturally from fruits and foods. They include lactic acid which is derived from sour milk, malic acid from apples and critic acid. A Glycolic acid chemical peel is derived from sugar cane and is the smallest in molecule size of all alpha hydroxy acids. This means it penetrates the skin more easily than other alpha hydroxy acids resulting in more dramatic faster results. So a glycolic chemical peel can be seen an a heavy duty exfoliation session.
