Face the Truth About Glycolic Acid
By ACS Here 2 Help on November 2, 2009
Even though it has been known for years as a powerful and effective metal parts cleaner, the thing with glycolic acid is that is also very effective in fighting acne.
Glycolic acid is naturally produced in nature and can typically be found inside of the sweet and delicious sugar cane plant, and its makeup is very similar to that other of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA). It is commonly regarded as a relatively mild product to be used as a starter level skin peel, before getting with the stronger stuff like Obagi and TCA peels.
The first connotation people have whenever they here the word acid, is usually that of a caustic substance that burns all the way from the skin to the bone. Glycolic acid is definitely the exception to the rule. Doctors are quick to prescribe it to their patients because they know how mild it is, yet effective at treating acne. Has been proven to fight the over excess of acne producing oil in the skin, yet at the same time, bring balance to the skins pH levels. The acid will lead towards exfoliation while promoting new cell and skin growth.
You typically are recommended to take Glycolic acid in combination with stronger acid peels like the Obagi peel, when you are trying to target and eradicate stubborn acne conditions such as wrinkles and scarring. When you use these products in tandem as, perhaps a daily cleanser, things like pimples tend to become a very rare occurrence.
Skin care products that come in the form of skin peels which contain Glycolic Acid may be of great benefit to you. If I were you, i wouldn’t totally rule them out when trying to tackle my acne.
