INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT: GLYCOLIC ACID
Glycolic Acid, a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), is derived from sugar cane. Its molecular structure enables it to effectively penetrate the skin, making it a powerful exfoliant. The primary mechanism of glycolic acid involves dissolving the intercellular cement responsible for abnormal cell build-up. By breaking down these bonds, it facilitates the removal of dead skin cells, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Its small molecular size allows it to penetrate the skin deeply, making it an ideal choice for addressing various skin concerns.
What is Glycolic Acid?
Glycolic Acid boasts a range of benefits for the skin. Its exfoliating action not only enhances skin texture but also plays a crucial role in improving hydration. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, Glycolic Acid allows for better moisture uptake and increases the water-binding capacity in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. This makes it particularly effective for clearing pores in oily skin, diminishing fine lines in aging skin, and reducing the appearance of age spots or hyperpigmentation. Regular use of glycolic acid in skincare routines can contribute to a more even skin tone and a revitalised, youthful complexion.
What are the Benefits of Glycolic Acid?
key benefits of Glycolic Acid:
For Mature / All Skin Types
Our Intensive GF5+ Serum, containing five plant-based growth factors, is designed to rejuvenate the skin by promoting the natural cell renewal, tissue repair and regeneration processes. Synthesised growth factors aid in the repair and regeneration of damaged skin cells - by stimulating collagen and elastin - enhancing the proliferation of healthy skin cells, accelerating the skin's natural renewal process and enhancing its ability to heal from environmental damage. By stimulating the synthesis of these structural proteins, growth factors help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and lax skin - resulting improved firmness, elasticity, and overall skin texture. Our Intensive GF5+ Serum is also particularly beneficial for fading dark spots, improving skin tone, reducing the appearance of acne scars - for more even and radiant complexion.
