Use in professional cosmetologyfruit acids has become common because of their wide enough spectrum of action: from moisturizing, lifting to keratolytic. Alpha- and beta-hydroioxidants perfectly exfoliate the top layer of skin scales, making the horny layer thinner and normalizing keratinization.
Glycolic acid is found in green grapesand in sugar cane. In the series of alpha hydroxy oxidants, it has the smallest molecular mass, which is why it passes so easily through the epidermal barrier, having the strongest effect. This kind of acid reduces hyperpigmentation of the skin.
Cosmetics with acids make the skin smoother,strengthening it and increasing the rate of appearance of new cells, and also slows down the formation of wrinkles and various folds.
