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.
