Can all skin types benefit from the use of glycolic acid

[therapysystems]

Often the two terms are used interchangeably. Glycolic acid works very simply. Due to its low molecular weight (the size of its molecules is very small), it rapidly penetrates through the outermost layer of the skin where dead and useless cells collects removing those cells and the glue that holds them to the surface of the skin. By doing this, it forces new cells to the surface of the skin that look and act younger thereby improving the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
Glycolic acid is a sugar-derived acid that is a member of a family of acids known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids.
A more mature skin that is showing the signs of aging will benefit from its use by a reduction in visible lines and wrinkles. This maturing skin will also literally act younger.
A skin that is prone to congestion, clogged pores, blackheads, and etc. will become clearer as the pores will be relieved by the rapid exfoliation from glycolic acid causing it to function with loss blockage and greater clarity.
An acne-prone skin benefits dramatically from the rapid and regular exfoliation of glycolic acid. As the acid removes the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin it allows the excess sebum or oil to be relieved reducing the likelihood of breakouts and blemishes.
A skin that is dull, lackluster and lifeless will become more vibrant as new cells are forced to the surface giving more color and literally ‘new life’ to the skin’s appearance.
Skins that are marked by uneven coloration, hyper pigmentation and sun damage will take on a more uniform color and appearance as new cells make their way to the surface.
Finally, glycolic acid aids in the penetration of other ingredients that are beneficial to skin appearance and function. Moisturizers and protective agents penetrate deeply into the skin where they can really do their work as opposed to simply sitting on the surface of the skin with their penetration blocked by dead and useless cells.
