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.
