Did you know that not all glycolic acid based products are created equal? Important features that affect the benefits of glycolic acid provide for the skin, including free acid concentration, the pH product, and the base to which the glycolic acid is blended.
Free acid concentration is the most important factor. The higher the concentration of free acid concentration, the greater the improvement in your skin texture color and tone.
Glycolic acid products are most effective if the pH falls between 2.5 and 3.5, and the free acid concentration is at least 5%. Acidity products within this range causes a natural exfoliation of the outer layer of the skin. The pH of normal skin is approximately 4.8, which means the skin is acid balanced. The acidity of glycoic acid products are what benefit the skin. Acidic products with a pH of 2.5-3.5 cause a natural exfoliation of the outer layer of the skin. The lower the pH, the higher the level of free acid concentration and the more effective the treatment.
Many companies buffer or neutralize the glycolic acid reducing the level of free acid concentration, so be sure to read product labels. Rx Systems discloses the pH of each product, confirming its high quality and guaranteed results. You can develop a tolerance to the level of glycolic acid, so Rx Systems provides step-up product systems, ensuring on-going benefits and continuous results.
