Skin Solutions Glycolic Acid Peel Buffered 50% (1 oz)
Glycolic acid works as an exfoliating agent because
of its high acidity but easy solubility. When placed on the skin as part
of an exfoliating cream or gel, glycolic acid goes under the damaged
upper layers of skin and destroys the ‘glue’, which holds dead skin to
the surface. As this dead skin is chemically burned off, the other
ingredients carry the individual flakes away and a water rinse
neutralizes the remaining acid. The result is a much-smoother skin
surface and a more youthful appearance. A secondary benefit is glycolic
acid's ability to draw moisturizers into the newly exfoliated skin
surface.
One study showed that
topical treatment twice a day for 3 months with 5% glycolic acid cream
at pH 2.8 affected surface and epidermal changes, while the same
treatment, but with a 12% cream reached deeper and influenced both the
epidermis and the deeper dermis layer, and resulted in increased
epidermal and dermal firmness and thickness. Both showed clinical
improvement in skin smoothness and in the appearance of lines and
wrinkles. Another study showed that AHAs might thin the outer stratum
corneum, but actually end up increasing the overall thickness of the
epidermis. This thickening is accompanied by increased synthesis of
collagen. It is apparent that alpha-hydroxy acids may do more than just
increase exfoliation and skin cell turnover
