L’Oreal Paris 3.5% Glycolic Acid Cleanser, Revitalift Glycolic Resurfacing Gel Wash, Gently Exfoliates To Smooth & Brighten Skin – 150ml

Product Information

Pro-Xylane is a patented L’Oreal ingredient, also known as hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol. It is a sugar-protein hybrid made from xylose, a monosaccharide (sugar) derived from wood. Pro-Xylane is a biomimetic, which means it mimics biochemical process. Specifically, Pro-Xylane stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the skin. GAGs are long, unbranched polysaccharides consisting of repeating disaccharide units. They are responsible for supporting the structural proteins collagen and elastin, as well as functioning as the skin’s natural moisturizer. Research has determined that aged skin contains less GAGs than young skin, which is one reason skin loses hydration, resilience, and firmness over time. Thus, by stimulating the production of GAGs, Pro-Xylane helps to keep skin hydrated and firm. Peter Thomas Roth 3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser is an oil-free, anti-aging, and exfoliating cleansing gel that helps to remove impurities, makeup, and excess oil. It provides a gentle dose of glycolic acid (only 3%), which helps improve the look of pores, smoothness, brightness, and clarity while helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Resurface your skin and prep it for your serum application in 1 simple step! NEW Revitalift Derm Intensives 3.5% Pure Glycolic Acid, a daily exfoliating cleanser that resurfaces, removes excess oils and makeup to reveal smoother, brighter skin. Enriched with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) for an intense clean and complex blend of soothing citrus and botanical extracts, this deeply purifying formulation actively dissolves dead surface cells, draws out pore-clogging impurities, and removes excess oil. So skin feels clean, clear, and beautifully refreshed. Glycolic acid works across the board as an anti-ageing product. It removes excess and dead skin cells, it boosts cell turnover (which in turn decreases the dips that form wrinkles) and it is an active cheerleader of collagen production, spurring it on from first use.

Glycolic acid is a member of the class of chemical compounds known as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). These compounds consist of a carboxylic acid (-COOH) substituted with a hydroxyl group (-OH) on the adjacent carbon in the alpha position, hence the name. If you’re more focused on solving acne scarring than actual inflammation, there’s no need to adhere to a daily schedule. Committing yourself to a light glycolic acid peel routine once or twice a week will help to reduce scarring and give your skin a healthy glow.

Your skin barrier can also be damaged if you’re exposed to the sun while using AHAs, as the National Center For Biotechnology Information reports. If you notice any skin irritation, decrease your use of your glycolic acid product, make sure to use a hydrating moisturizer, and see a dermatologist if the irritation continues. The pH of a solution is indicated by a numeric scale that runs from 0-14. Anything below 7 (which is pH neutral) is considered acidic, while anything with a pH greater than 7 is alkaline.

AHAs, including glycolic acid, have been found to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a structural protein naturally produced by the body responsible for keeping the skin firm. Collagen production starts to decline around age 25 and decreases with age. Collagen levels also decrease due to smoking, sugar consumption, and overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Ultimately, this decrease leads to wrinkles and sagging skin. Alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic acid can prep your skin to better absorb your other skin care products, leading to more effective results. The secret to smooth and glowing skin?

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

If you’re not noticing the changes you were hoping for, simply stop treatments for a couple of weeks to give your skin a break and then start a second round of treatment. You can repeat this same treatment until your skin’s inflammation goes down. If you do repeat your treatments, giving your skin a break between treatment periods is essential to keep your skin’s natural oils intact. The last thing you want to do is strip your skin of its ability to protect your itself from free radicals and harmful bacteria.
