Key Features

Glycolic Acid (AHA)

Exfoliating agent to remove dead skin cells and promote cell renewal.

  • Enhances epidermal turnover, reducing hyperkeratosis and improving skin texture.; Results in smoother, brighter skin with a reduced appearance of dark spots and a more even skin tone.

Mechanism of Action: Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that penetrates the stratum corneum and weakens the bonds between corneocytes, facilitating desquamation and stimulating new cell generation. Enhances epidermal turnover, reducing hyperkeratosis and improving skin texture.

Mandelic Acid

Exfoliating agent with antibacterial properties.

  • Provides gentle exfoliation suitable for sensitive skin.; Helps reduce acne and blemishes.; Leaves skin smoother and clearer with reduced imperfections.

Polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that gently exfoliates and hydrates.

  • Suitable for sensitive skin due to its gentle action.; Provides antioxidant benefits.; Enhances skin hydration and leaves skin feeling soft and supple.
