Understanding Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid, a derivative of sugar cane, has the smallest molecular size of all of the alpha and hydroxy acids. Its size enables it to effectively rejuvenate the skin through deep penetration. Glycolic acid targets, loosens and dissolves the strateum corneocytes, leaving the skin with a smooth, moist and vibrant appearance.  

The stratum corneum is a glue-like substance that holds the outer layer of our cells together.  It is the build-up of the stratum corneum that is responsible for rough, dry, scaly skin and sun spots. Corneocytes are dead skin cells that block follicles in the skin and cause acne. 

Glycolic acid works to keep the skin clear and prevent acne. It continues to benefit the deep layers of the skin by regenerating the production of collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and scarring.  Rx Systems is one of the best complete line of glycolic acid skin and hair care products sold online at www.rxsystemspf.com.
