Glycolic Acid Acne Fighting Abilities Are So Amazing
Glycolic Acid acne products are my favorite when it comes to fighting acne. This is how to control oily skin!
You will find Glycolic Acid in many acne products including acne cleansers, toners, and the ever so popular OTC acne treatment products.
Glycolic Acid Acne products are an awesome way to prevent oily skin!
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!
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.
Below you will find two Glycolic Acid Kits that I thought you would enjoy starting out with. I've personally tried the "Formulations" Kit and love it!
