What is GLycolic Acid? What is GLycolic Acid?

We like to focus on the ingredients of beauty products. But we prefer to touch the product and explore whether it really works. Alpha hydroxy acid is also known as AHA. It includes glycolic acid, lactic acid and citric acid. These products do not meet the needs.

Now we analyze the most popular ingredient in the world - glycolic acid.

Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is added to skin care products. It is good for the skin and restores skin elasticity and moisturization. The original state of glycolic acid is a powder composed of colorless crystals. It is tasteless. Let's first understand its benefits and its related products.
