Скачать или смотреть Transform your Skin in just 4 weeks| Glycolic Acid | Exfoliate right | No more DIY

@behindthesurface, I aim to review a product from a very scientific lens getting into the what, why and how of the product.


In today's video I am decoding Aha's namely glycolic acid.


Glycolic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugarcane, used in skincare products to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin.


What is Glycolic Acid?

Glycolic acid is a water-soluble, naturally occurring acid that helps break down dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and collagen production.


Why Use Glycolic Acid?

*Exfoliates the skin*: Removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and improves skin texture.

*Brightens skin tone*: Helps reduce appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

*Hydrates the skin*: Attracts moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.

*Improves skin elasticity*: Stimulates collagen production, reducing appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


How to Use Glycolic Acid:

*Start with lower concentrations*: Begin with 5-7% concentration, gradually increasing as skin becomes tolerant.

*Use at night*: Apply as a toner, serum, or cream, 1-2 times a week, depending on skin type.

*Follow with sunscreen*: Glycolic acid can make skin more sensitive to the sun.

*Combine with other products*: Pair with other skincare products, like retinol or vitamin C, for enhanced benefits.


Glycolic acid products come in various forms, including:

Toners

Serums

Creams

Masks

Cleansers


Precautions:

*Patch test*: Before using glycolic acid, perform a patch test to check for sensitivity.

*Start slow*: Gradually introduce glycolic acid into your skincare routine to avoid irritation.

*Be patient*: Results may take time, so be consistent and patient with your skincare routine.
