Glycolic acid is a major player in skin care, appearing in exfoliating cleansers, toners, and even facial masks. However, what are the benefits of a professional glycolic acid peel? If you've only ever used glycolic acid in your at-home skin care products, you may be curious about the benefits of performing a Glycolic Acid Peel at home.

The term "glycolic acid" refers to an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). It's a type of chemical exfoliant that breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily wiped away to reveal smoother, younger skin beneath. AHAs such as glycolic acid are soluble in water. Beta-hydroxy-acids (BHAs), on the other hand, such as salicylic acid, are oil soluble, which means they dissolve in oil and can penetrate deeper into oily pores.

Do you have concerns about your skin, such as hyperpigmentation or fine lines and wrinkles? If this is the case, a glycolic acid peel may be the treatment for you. Because it is a strong exfoliant, it can reduce visible signs of aging and hyperpigmentation. Glycolic acid can also be used to suppress the formation of melanin pigment in the skin when treating melasma.
