What is Glycolic peel?

An exfoliator derived from sugarcane, which safely removes the outer layer of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, the Glycolic Acid peel helps bring fresh new skin to the surface. This is beneficial for those who are looking for ingredients that help with anti-aging, such as sun spots or age spots and help those with acne-prone and blackhead-prone skin. This would be a good peel to start with for new users or the next step up from a Glycolic 30% peel. Glycolic acid is safe for all skin tones and is best for normal/dry/combination skin type.

Glycolic peels can also be helpful for getting rid of hyperpigmentation on the skin such as sunspots, brown acne scars, or melasma. After a glycolic peel, skin appears brighter and refreshed.
