Skincare MUST-HAVE: Glycolic Acid!

If you asked us to list skincare powerhouses, a few come to mind.

But one of the best HAS to be Glycolic Acid! This versatile, well-loved ingredient shows up in tonnes of skincare products, and for good reason.

That’s why we’re bringing you not one but TWO new products built around this must-have ingredient!

Le’s dive into the benefits of glycolic acids and meet your new skincare besties below 👇

Glycolic Acid and Its Benefits

 

As an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid is loved by dermatologists and skincare enthusiasts everywhere.

It is known for its ability to exfoliate the skin, promote healthy cell turnover, and leave behind a brighter, healthier complexion.

This skin saviour works by gently dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, making it easier for them to exfoliate away and leave fresh skin underneath. 

Because glycolic acid has a small molecular size (basically, it’s super small) it is able to penetrate deeply into the skin and help improve skin texture, tone, and clarity.

Some of the key benefits of glycolic acid include:

• Exfoliation: Helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
• Brightening: Promotes a radiant complexion.
• Texture smoothing: Helps to improve rough or bumpy areas on both the face and body.
• Hyperpigmentation reduction: Helps to fade dark spots, sun damage, and spot scars.

Plus, glycolic acid has been known to reduce the skin’s pH, meaning it can help reduce odour-causing bacteria. 

This also means that it is known to help eliminate the appearance of yellow stains on clothing - face skincare and underarm skincare in one!

 

How To Use:

 

Don’t worry, we see you quickly googling “How to use glycolic acid toner”, and we’ve got you! 

After cleansing, simply, apply a small amount of toner to a cotton pad and gently swipe it across your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

Follow with your regular moisturiser. 

Start by using the toner 2-3 times a week to build tolerance, gradually increasing frequency as your skin adjusts. 

* Always use sunscreen during the day, as glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
