Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are water-based, nontoxic, naturally occurring substances found in a variety of fruits, such as grapes, apples and sugar cane. They are also commonly known as Glycolic, Citric, Malic, Lactic and Pyruvic Acids. The major component of Glycolic Exfoliating Gel is Glycolic Acid. Glycolic Acid is a thorough exfoliator capable of penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin to increase the rate of dead cell shedding, new skin cell production, and collagen formation. With prolonged use, Glycolic Acid has been found to be beneficial in improving dry skin, treating age spots, improving oily and acne prone skin, and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. In conjunction with BENEV Salicylic Acid Exfoliator, Glycolic Exfoliating Gel works to remove the outer layers of thickened and damaged skin, leaving a skin feeling smooth and looking healthy.
