Did you know Glycolic Acid Acne fighting abilities are so amazing?
Glycolic Acid acne products are my favorite when it comes to fighting acne. You will find Glycolic Acid ingredient in many products including
acne cleansers,
toners,
and
over the counter (OTC) acne treatment products.
Products containing Glycolic Acid can be very strong and if you have sensitive skin, I would recommend first trying a milder ingredient such as
Salicylic Acid.
Glycolic Acid has proven to me to be VERY EFFECTIVE on mild to severe
types of acne
including
whiteheads,
blackheads,
papules,
pustules
...and yes, even
nodule
and
cystic acne!
Glycolic Acid belongs to the Alpha Hydroxy Acid family. Found in various fruits and plants, Glycolic Acid is acquired from sugar cane. It's an EXCELLENT exfoliator, unclogging those pores by lifting away dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. Not only is Glycolic Acid a powerful ingredient against acne, it's also popular and effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!
Treating acne with Glycolic Acid acne products
can be a good choice, especially for
adult acne suffers.
You can turn back the hands of time by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles along with clearing up acne and age spots. That's right, Glycolic Acid's wonderful exfoliating qualities, strips away layers and layers of impurities, that dulls the skin’s appearance. You are then left with a healthier youthful appearance. Can't you tell how much I love this stuff? During your treatment of any Glycolic Acid product, it is critical to use an
acne moisturizer
that contains sunblock! Glycolic Acid causes your skin to become very sensitive to the sun's rays and during your treatment with Glycolic Acid, your skin is very vulnerable. Protect your skin! Glycolic Acid can be very drying to your skin and you may experience some dryness, redness, tingling and flaking. You will need to start out with products which contain 5% Glycolic Acid or less. As your skin becomes use to it, slowly increase your percentage. Like me, you may notice results as soon as 2-3 weeks! Remember, exercise caution by following the instructions on the products and consult your dermatologist before beginning any treatment.
