1. Why is 10% concentration good?
Clinical studies have shown that glycolic acid helps to safely remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, bringing fresh and new skin to the surface. Numerous studies were done to evaluate the performance of pure glycolic acid on skin at different concentrations.
Weaker concentration may give minimal exfoliation while stronger concentrations may not be suitable for daily use.
Results have shown that 10% concentration of glycolic acid is the ideal level for daily treatment and it is safe for use in skincare products. Daily use of 10% concentration can have anti-aging results like reducing fine lines, improving skin tone and skin texture.
