Description
APIS TERAPIS 35% glycolic acid solution (pH 2.0) is a professional AHA exfoliant for in-clinic treatments. It removes the horny layer of the skin, smooths post-acne scars and stimulates skin regeneration and rejuvenation. After the treatment the skin is soft, hydrated and refreshed, with noticeable results after the very first session. It can be used as a standalone treatment or as a preparatory step before other skin care treatments – it improves the absorption of active ingredients and thus increases the effectiveness of the whole protocol.
Active ingredients
Glycolic acid – derived from sugar cane. It is the most active of all AHA acids: it has the simplest structure and the lowest molecular weight, so it penetrates the skin easily and deeply. Its strong exfoliating properties loosen the bonds between keratinocytes – this reduces the thickness of the horny layer of the epidermis and makes the skin smoother. This makes it possible to achieve results that superficial exfoliants cannot.
