Science is going back to nature or answers. The ingredient is glycolic acid naturally found in fruits, sugar cane and sour milk. Glycolic acid loosens the bond between the dead cells in the upper portion of the skin only and results in a mild peeling or sloughing action. What sets glycolic acid apart from the other chemical and herbal peels and Retina-A, is that the body recognises the acid as an intimate part of its own working. Since the body is intimately familiar with glycolic acid the metabolites in the skin will not adversely impact on the lymphatic system, kidneys, or live as will Retina-A or other chemical peels do in the long term. Although chemical peels in the short term is the best option for seriously sun and acne damaged skin.
Studies show fruit acid peels accelerates the natural cross linking of collagen and elastin, therefore, increases the amount of collagen generated with skin cells. Some skins has visible exfoliation and some not. However, there will be improvement in skin tone, texture, hydration and colour in 4-8 months. Results are very individual and it works with nature, so give your skin time to repair on its own. There are no problems in using glycolic acid in the long term as it is non toxic.
Highly concentred glycolic acid is applied to skin as a freshening peel in the clinic once a week on a regular basis. You may beach the desired result earlier than expected or beyond 10 treatments. It is important to keep track of your progress both salon applications and home maintenance products. Remember home maintenance is responsible for 50% of the overall improvement. However products should not be resumed if there are any signs of redness or irritation until it is the redness or irritation is completely resolved and then continue using the products again.
In case of contact with eyes flush plenty of cool water for at least 15 minutes. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Please wait one day after each application in the clinic before resuming your home maintenance products. Your home maintenance products should be applied after cleansing your skin and before using your skin care within 5 minutes.
