Deep Exfoliation Contains 12% glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells, helping them shed more easily. Promotes skin renewal and smoother texture, especially on thickened or pigmented areas like elbows, knees, and underarms. 2. Brightens Skin Tone Helps fade dark spots, sun damage, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) by accelerating cell turnover. Promotes a more even complexion over time, particularly on areas affected by acne scars or dullness. 3. Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles Stimulates collagen production in the deeper dermis when used consistently. Smooths out early signs of aging like fine lines, rough patches, and uneven skin tone—ideal for mature or sun-exposed skin. 4. Unclogs Pores & Prevents Acne Glycolic acid is keratolytic, meaning it dissolves debris inside pores and reduces the likelihood of blackheads and whiteheads. Prevents future breakouts when used regularly, especially on body acne (chest, back, shoulders). 5. Improves Skin Texture Softens rough, bumpy skin conditions such as: Keratosis pilaris (tiny bumps on arms/thighs) Post-shaving pigmentation Callused or hardened areas (feet, elbows) 6. Enhances Product Absorption By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, Glyco-A improves the penetration and effectiveness of other products (e.g. moisturizers, serums, vitamin C).
