Glycolic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. It is the smallest of all AHAs and easily penetrates the skin to help shed the uppermost layer of dead cells. It also promotes cell turnover, allowing healthier cells to move closer to the skin’s surface, improving skin texture. Fine lines appear diminished and skin takes on a brighter and more radiant tone with noticeable clarity and glow. Glycolic Acid also unclogs skin pores.
The result is a fresher, rejuvenated complexion. Because it penetrates the skin so rapidly, Glycolic Acid may occasionally irritate sensitive skin. A simple sensitivity test on a small skin surface — behind the ear or on the inner surface of the forearm — is a good precaution to take with first time users with a gradual increase in the frequency of use.
Begin by applying the product every other day. Once skin has become accustomed to glycolic acid, products can be applied on a daily basis. A slight tingling sensation that quickly subsides is quite normal and does not constitute a contraindication to product use. In the event of irritation (persistent redness, burning sensation), product use should be stopped and a doctor should be consulted.
It is recommended that prior to sun exposure, sunscreen should be applied to the areas of skin treated with AHAs. Pravada has a wide selection of products containing AHA, including: Advanced AHA Cleanser Glycolic Acid gently improves the texture of the skin and helps the skin’s natural renewal process.
