Glycolic acid is the smallest molecular size chain of all the alpha hydroxy acids, penetrating your skin for a faster and more dramatic result. Results are dependent on strength, how the glycolic is carried to your skin called a vehicle like a cream or a gel, frequency of application and amount of time left on your skin especially concerning glycolic peels. A gel vehicle is absorbed better than a cream making it stronger, giving you faster results, sensitive skin likes weaker creams but sensitive oily skin will feel greasy in a few hours and depend on the lower 10-15% glycolic gels. Glycolic works on the surface, lower dermal layer zapping wrinkles at their source and the living quarters for acne in the sebaceous follicle or pores. Its sloughing skin-action increases cell renewal, restores your youthful skin texture and tone, helps dry and thick sun damaged skin, removes old dark pigment like sun spots, small scar reduction, and dislodges and removes the acne living environment in your pores…known as a blackhead by the time you can see it. Acne pustules are unroofed and start healing in our higher strength glycolic peels and not allowed to return with our daily maintenance glycolic cleansers, gels and cream.
Lactic acid compared to glycolic under a microscope appears similar to a large boulder rolling across the surface of your skin unable to penetrate too deeply. Milder and normally free of unwanted side effects is great for sensitive skin, surface wrinkles and clogged pores, sloughing-action whisks away dead and dry skin while hydrating, improves skin tone and texture for a younger you and increases cell renewal.
Glycolic acid and other alpha hydroxy acids are patented by chemist Ruey Yu, Ph.D. and Eugene Van Scott, M.D. for 35 uses, the most popular are acne, brown spots or uneven darker skin tone called hyperpigmentation, aging and small scar reduction. Nicholas Perricone, M.D. has the patent for ingrown hairs, extremely helpful for curly hair growing back into the skin commonly targeting men’s beards and women’s bikini lines.
