The small molecular size of Glypure® allows it to penetrate the skin more efficiently, potentially enhancing the results of complementary ingredients, such as kojic acid and hydroquinone. Glypure® readjusts water percentages in the epidermis, stimulates collagen synthesis and promotes cell turnover/desquamation.
Glycolic acid is one of the top solutions for water well rehabilitation and flow stimulation. It provides superior cleaning efficacy for hard water scales (calcium, magnesium, manganese salts), various iron deposits, polysaccharide deposits, and bio slime.
