What Is Acne? Acne is a disorder of the skin’s oil glands and hair follicles. The pore becomes plugged and inflamed causing outbreaks of lesions commonly called pimples, zits, white heads, or blackheads. Acne usually forms on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. While acne is not usually a serious health threat, it can be the source of emotional distress. Severe acne can cause scarring. People of all races and age get acne, but it is most common in adolescents and young adults. Acne generally goes away by the age of thirty, but some people have it into their forties and fifties.

Glycolic Acid 35% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)

Glycolic Acid is a superficial peeling agent that is made from sugar cane. It is often considered the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA). With repetitive and continuous use, improvement to skin tone and texture occurs. Once inside the skin's cell, glycolic acid will serve as a catalyst for the formation of new collagen which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin's surface. Glycolic acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, melasma, actinic keratosis, acne, and oily skin, as well as other cosmetic uses. Our kit provides you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of professional results at home, for a fraction of the cost. What You Can Expect Several layers of surface skin will be exfoliated very quickly... within 10-12 minutes. There is no noticeable peeling, just a sloughing action that will leave your skin feeling smooth and looking refreshed. The dry, dead, glued-together surface sebum that makes skin look dull and clogs pores, will be dissolved and removed. With continued use as directed the skin will look more youthful and vibrant.
