Glycolic acid is the most effective (AHA) Alpha Hydroxy Acid. It is derived from sugar cane juice.  It works first by gently removing the excessive build up of dead skin cells that build up on the outer most layers of skin.  It also softens and loosens up the oil and dirt that builds up and causes large pores and acne.  Once the initial exfoliation has taken place, the glycolic acid and topical vitamins are able to penetrate deeper into lower skin layers.  Studies show that with continued use of these ingredients the collagen and elastin cells begin multiplying which results in thicker, smoother epidermis (top skin layer) with more elastin (connective tissue) that keeps the skin firm and tight.  The result is healthier, younger looking skin.

                Vitamins C, A, and E are the antioxidant vitamins that protects cells against damage from oxidation (destruction by oxygen).  Vitamin C is required for tissue growth and formation of collagen.  Vitamin A is needed for maintenance and repair of skin tissue and the formation of elastin.  This important vitamin slows the aging process.  Vitamin E improves circulation and is also necessary for tissue repair.  It works synergistically with Vitamins when used together have greater effect then when they are used separately.  The use of glycolic acid together with these powerful antioxidant vitamins accelerates the benefits of true skin rejuvenation and deep skin repair.
