A glycolic acid peel is an alpha hydroxy acid chemical exfoliation treatment. It is known to improve the health and appearance of skin by improving its tone, texture, and overall complexion. The solution is applied to the skin to increase epidermal cell proliferation and remove stratum corneum and plugs within pores. Glycolic Acid has a small molecular structure, giving it the ability to travel deep into the layers of the skin. This treatment is ideal for hyperpigmentation, and the tightening and brightening of the skin.
