Glycolic Acid
At this point you probably have already heard of glycolic acid as it's a staple in the anti skin care world. Glycolic acid is also one of the more popular alpha hydroxyl acids used in peeling skin care products. This type of alpha hydroxyl acid works great at removing dead skin cells and promoting the growth of new collagen and elastin cells. It does this by creating microscopic tears in the cells and allowing the firming ingredients in your product to get to the inside of these tears and stimulate the collagen and elastin to grow.
If you are looking for a way to dramatically improve the texture of your skin, you may want to try a glycolic acid serum or cream along with a regular application of a high quality cleanser. Glycolic peels can be applied by using a soft washcloth with warm water. Glycolic peels can leave your skin very dry so it's important that you only use a small amount. Applying the product evenly and using a gentle buffing motion while scrubbing into the skin will result in the best results possible. Be patient as this process may take up to an hour or two depending on how much you've applied.
As with any product you are applying to your skin you should always test a small area first. If your skin doesn't immediately react to the cream then you may want to wait until you are ready to try it on a larger area of skin. There are no serious side effects with either regular use or glycolic acid peels so don't be afraid to use it as often as you like. Applying your face only once or twice a day to treat problems with your skin will help you maintain great looking skin. Remember to also follow the directions on the packaging for proper product use.
