Advanced Acids

These chemical exfoliators target and dissolve the intercellular glue that holds dead skin cells together, to reveal fresh, smooth, clear skin. Alpha-hydroxy acids (like mandelic, glycolic or fruit acids) are derived from sugar cane or other plant sources. They help stimulate collagen so they’re ideal for lines, and dullness; Beta-hydroxy acids (like salicylic acid) work both on the surface and inside the pores, so they're best for breakouts and congestion. Poly-hydroxy acids (like gluconolactone) are a large molecule acids known for gentle exfoliating properties to dissolve the bonds of dead skin, and eliminate surface flakes, rough textures, and imperfections.
