faqs about hydroxy acids… a deeper look at what’s inside your chemical peel!

So have you ever wondered what was in your peel? Hydroxy Acids promote chemical exfoliation to stimulate cell turnover, improve unevenness of the skin tone and texture and boost radiance and clarity. While Hydroxy Acids offer similar benefits each type targets specific skin concerns.

Alpha Hydroxy ACIDS(AHA)

Glycolic Acid- SMOOTHING

• Derived primarily from sugar cane

• Smallest Molecular size for deepest penetration

Lactic Acid - BRIGHTENING

• Derived from sour milk or synthetic vegan alternatives (Glo’s is Vegan)

• Larger molecular size is optimal for sensitive skin + deeper skin

MandElic Acid - SMOOTHING

• Derived from bitter almonds

• Larger molecular size is optimal for sensitive skin + deeper skin

Malic Acid - CLARIFYING

• Derived primarily from Apples

• Decongests and boosts the effectiveness of AHAs

Taratric Acid - ANTIOXIDANT BOOSTING

• Derived primarily from grapes (it is the main acid found in wine)

• Provides antioxidant protection and pairs Weill with other AHAs

BETA HYDROXY ACIDS (BHA)

Salicylic Acid- CLARIFYING

• Extracted from the bark of the white willow tree.

• One of the biggest benefits is it’s ability to decongest follicles

POLY HYDOXY ACIDS (PHA)

Gluconic Acid- HYDRATING

• Created from glucose (sugar) fermentation

• Hydrates, calms, and larger molecular structure is optimal even for sensitive skin
