Glycolic Face Wash

Glycolic AcidGlycolic Acid, a member of the AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), instantly brightens your complexion by exfoliating skin using natural chemistry which transforms your outer dead skin cell layer to provide a radiant luster. This translates to instant gratification when you add Glycolic Acid Face Cream to your skin care regimen! Unlike other products, a Glycolic Acid Face Cream is not washed off the face, so your skin is able to drink in the benefits of the glycolic acid all day and/or night long! Glycolic Acid also acts as a powerful skin lightener to combat irregular skin pigment, lighten melasma and diminish the appearance of age spots. The ability to remove the top layer of skin to reveal fresh skin underneath means that Glycolic Acid products can also make your skin more vulnerable to the sun. You should therefore use a sunscreen in conjunction with this, or any product that contains Glycolic Acid. We use 2% Glycolic Acid in our formulation.

Apple Extract (Pyrus Malus)Pyrus Malus (Apple Extract) is another great ingredient included in our Glycolic Acid Face Cream. This acidic, vitamin-rich fruit extract helps promote natural cell exfoliation and encourages a healthy rate of skin cell replacement which may help improve acne and psoriasis symptoms. The extract also inhibits elastase, an enzyme which breaks down elastin and collagen helping maintain smooth, youthful skin.

AllantoinOriginally derived from the Comfrey Plant, which is known to have moisturizing effects as well as properties that help create smooth, healthy skin. Not only does Allantoin help skin lock in moisture, it also encourages skin to shed dead cells and grow new ones, promoting healthy cell development and preventing dull, sallow skin. If you have sensitive, dry, or scaly skin, using products that contain Allantoin may benefit it by moisturizing, protecting, and healing all at the same time without causing any adverse effects. Even in its synthesized form, Allantoin is non-irritating and can be used on the skin daily, although people with sensitive skin are still advised to test the use of this product gradually.
