Glycolic Acid

Many scientific terms float around the dermatology community that may make sense to specialists but hold no meaning to the general public. As a patient seeking a solution for acne breakouts or Skin Discoloration, you may become overwhelmed by all the complex ingredients found in various products. One powerful ingredient you should be on the lookout for is Glycolic Acid.

Glycolic Acid is a naturally occurring substance that can provide tons of benefits to the skin. Its small molecules can penetrate the skin deeply and can effectively treat acne, blackheads, abnormal texture, and even fine lines and wrinkles! The substance is derived from plants such as sugar beets, sugar cane, and pineapple to hone its botanical properties and treat a variety of skin conditions.

Benefits of Glycolic Acid

Not only is it an excellent source to rejuvenate the skin and treat dull aging skin, but it also acts as a fantastic exfoliating agent. If you are someone who has suffered from acne for a long period of time, you are most likely well aware of the importance of exfoliation. Without a regular method to exfoliate the skin, dead cells are left to build up on the face and clog your pores, which is often the source for those sudden pesky breakouts.

Thanks to all the in-depth research that has been conducted on Glycolic Acid, our experts at Dr. Longwill Skin Care thoroughly support using this powerful ingredient in our specially made products. If you are searching for a skin cleanser that can effectively treat acne, our Porefect Cleanser is the solution for you. It incorporates 2% of the proven acne fighting ingredient salicylic acid and combines it with 2% ultra pure Glycolic Acid.

When used on a daily basis, our Porefect Cleanser can accelerate the removal of dead skin cells, allowing the skin to drain oil properly. When those dead skin cells are allowed time to build up, it will clog your pores and cause unwanted breakouts. This product also helps in the removal of blackheads and heals skin that is recovering from blemishes.

To use this product correctly, you should first wet the affected area. Squeeze the specified amount onto your palm and distribute evenly along the face. Rinse thoroughly and keep an eye on the state of your skin. If over drying occurs, our experts may recommend lessening the frequency of applications to every other day.
