WHAT DOES A GLYCOLIC ACID PEED DO?
Glycolic acid peels slough off the surface and middle layers of skin, removing dead skin cells and debris. Since glycolic acid is made up of small molecules, it readily penetrates skin, removing the lipids that hold dead skin cells together.
HOW LONG DOES GLYCOLIC ACID PEEL TAKE TO WORK?
The general rule is that you'll see results once your skin has fully healed. That depends on the depth of the peel, the concentration of glycolic acid used, and the amount of time you were exposed to the peel. Overall, it can take up to two weeks for new skin to develop.
DOES GLYCOLIC ACID HELP WITH SKIN TEXTURE?
Glycolic acid is an incredibly popular treatment because of the many benefits it has for the skin. It has effective skin-renewing properties, so it is often used in anti-aging products. It can help smooth fine wrinkles and improve the skin's tone and texture.
The benefits of undergoing a glycolic peel include:
Reducing hyperpigmentation
Evening out skin tone
Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
Adding glow and luster to skin
