Why is Glycolic Acid a magic potion to your skincare?

There are lots of ingredients derived from nature that enhance your skin while restoring them from the damages done by the environmental factors and chemicals. One of them is Glycolic Acid that has recently become one of the most renown ingredients in our skincare routine.

Some of us tend to fear the word acid being used in the products, but what is a lesser-known fact is that not all acids are harmful and in fact, they do more good than most other natural ingredients.

What is Glycolic Acid?

Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid, an organic, carbon-containing molecule. It is one of the main ingredients used mostly in toners and exfoliators that helps deep cleanse your skin and make it smooth and soft. It boosts the skin cell turnover that makes your skin look fresher and younger.

Fact: If used in the right amount, it is a very gentle exfoliator for your skin.

With that, there are many other benefits as well. Let's count them all:

1. It helps in the skin’s anti-ageing process.

2. It amazingly minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Very much recommended for people who deal with acne and pimples in their everyday life.

4. Exfoliates dead skin cells and thus makes your skin glow.

5. Gives your face an even skin tone.

6. Uncommon fact is that it is highly recommended for new mothers to help them restore their skin’s health.

7. It can transfer water molecules from the air into the skin tissue, replenishing any lost moisture.

8. It is an effective ingredient in moisturizers when used at low strength

Glycolic acid has no side effects on your skin. It reacts with the top layer of skin, breaking it down by the sebum and other substances that bring all the cells together helping it look young with a rich radiance.

Some of our recommended products enriched with the goodness of Glycolic Acid are:

1. Dr Sheth's Gulab & Glycolic Toner with Rose Extracts, Glycolic Acid and Green Tea Extracts

Pure happiness for your skin is this toner that is made with the finest rose and green tea extracts that brighten, condition and exfoliate the skin. It helps calm the skin and make it look ten times younger within a few uses.

2. Dot & Key 5% AHA Toner, Skin Clarifying Liquid Exfoliant

This life saviour features 5% glycolic acids which are a lightweight formula that exfoliate the skin revealing fresh new skin cells. It unclogs pores while reducing blemishes, wrinkles and fine lines - leaving a more clarified, brighter even-toned complexion.

3. Neemli Naturals Glycolic & Salicylic Acid Serum

Addressing your skin concerns the right way is important and this serum helps you do that. It has the pure form of natural ingredients that work synergistically to alleviate clogged pores, blackheads and acne giving you clearer, brighter and more radiant skin.

4. Neemli Naturals Glycolic Acid & Apple Cider Vinegar Exfoliating Toner

A 100% natural exfoliating toner combats acne very effectively and the apple cider vinegar makes your skin fresh and smooth. It deeply cleans pores and sweeps away excess oil to give you a smoother, brighter and more radiant look.

5. Dr Sheth's Basic Brightening Extra Gentle Daily Peel with Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Pomegranate Extract

Formulated by our dermatologists especially for Indian skin, this lotion is a must-have in your vanity kit. It balances and restores the skin's pH level while also helping tighten all the unclogged facial pores.

One amazing fact about glycolic acid is that it works immediately and you can see the effect pretty soon.

Skincare tip: Always be considerate about the concentration of glycolic acid you use in your skincare based on the type of your skin type.

For better advice, ask your dermatologists and beauty expert.
