GLYCOLIC ACID

Posted by Webmaster on March 5, 2011 at 7:33 AM

I was looking at some of the links I'm affiliated with, when I came to the DERMSTORE link. I was excited to find an article there on Glycolic Acid. I have been using GLYCOLIC ACID for years. I began using it early in my twenties because I had oily skin, and the use of this product helped to remove surface oils and dirt. Because of my extremely (inherited) oily skin, I also had LARGER than normal pores. Well, there's nothing I can do about the size of my pores, but I did find with regular use of an exfoliant, such as Glycolic Acid, the size of my pores did reduce somewhat. Here's what I read about Glycolic Acid from the DERMSTORE link:

 "Glycolic acid is the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA) used in skin care and is derived from sugar cane. Studies have shown glycolic acid to be the most effective fruit acid for cosmetic application. It has the smallest molecular structure of all AHAs, thus possesses the greatest penetration potential. Inside the cell, it stimulates the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis, improving the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and other forms of sun damage. Due to this unique mechanism of action, glycolic acid has also been found to be beneficial for the management of conditions involving hyperkeratinization, i.e., psoriasis, ichthyosis, acne, dry skin, etc. Anyone suffering from these skin disorders would benefit greatly from the use of glycolic acid. It’s a fundamental part of a skin care maintenance program that will keep your skin healthy throughout the years."  Dermstore  (Glycolic Cleanser (8 fl oz.)
