But what if you have a more sensitive, reactive skin type? “If you have very sensitive skin and you find that you react to glycolic acid every day, then you should stop," Dr Unnati says. "Likewise, you wouldn’t use glycolic acid on very red and angry-looking skin. Most people, however, can tolerate a glycolic acid in their routine every day. If you have other skin concerns, such as acne, you might want to add in other products safely such as a vitamin A or salicylic acid.” url" : "https://www.lorealparisusa.com/beauty-magazine/skin-care/skin-care-essentials/glycolic-acid-serum-review",Glycolic acid has been praised throughout the skincare world for its many uses and effortless simplicity.

Pro-Xylane is a patented L’Oreal ingredient, also known as hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol. It is a sugar-protein hybrid made from xylose, a monosaccharide (sugar) derived from wood. Pro-Xylane is a biomimetic, which means it mimics biochemical process. Specifically, Pro-Xylane stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the skin. GAGs are long, unbranched polysaccharides consisting of repeating disaccharide units. They are responsible for supporting the structural proteins collagen and elastin, as well as functioning as the skin’s natural moisturizer. Research has determined that aged skin contains less GAGs than young skin, which is one reason skin loses hydration, resilience, and firmness over time. Thus, by stimulating the production of GAGs, Pro-Xylane helps to keep skin hydrated and firm. Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) recognized by dermatologists as an effective resurfacing agent for even and younger-looking skin.

RevitaLift Bright Reveal Peel Pads are a dermatologist inspired anti-wrinkle plus brightening treatment. The pads are formulated with glycolic acid, a powerful alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the top layers of skin) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, brighter skin. Glycolic acid has also been found to stimulate collagen production, as well as boost skin hydration. It is considered to be a gold standard in brightening. RevitaLift Bright Reveal Peel Pads can be used daily to resurface dull, uneven tone and rough texture to reveal fresh looking skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time.
