Brilio.net - Glycolic acid is one of the active ingredients often found in skincare products because of its wide benefits and proven effectiveness. For many people who are looking for solutions to skin problems such as rough texture, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging.
Skincare containing glycolic acid can be a great choice. This ingredient is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is known for its ability to help remove dead skin cells, brighten skin tone, and increase the absorption of other skincare products.
Glycolic acid works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, allowing new, healthier cells to emerge. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and reduce blemishes or hyperpigmentation. In addition, glycolic acid also helps increase collagen production, which plays a vital role in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
However, choosing skincare products containing glycolic acid requires attention to the right concentration and formulation to avoid irritation. Typically, products with low concentrations are suitable for daily use, while products with higher concentrations may be better used periodically.
In the skincare market, especially in Indonesia, there are various choices of products with glycolic acid that can meet your needs and budget. With the right choice, skincare containing glycolic acid can not only improve skin conditions but provide effective and satisfying results.
