Mode of action
GLYCOLIC ACID
Exfoliation: Glycolic acid facilitate progressive weakening of cohesion of the intercellular material of the outermost layers of the skin (stratum corneum), resulting in uniform exfoliation.
Pigmentation:
- Inducing chemical exfoliation removes dead, damaged, and discolored skin cells from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation faster.
- Drive new skin cells to the surface of the face. This spurred cell renewal helps to reveal the healthier, underlying skin, and promotes a more even skin tone overall.
- Suppress melanin formation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
Acne:
- Reduce acne-related inflammation.
- Exhibit pH-dependent antibacterial activity against C. acnes. At a pH of 3-3.5 glycolic acid kills C. acnes cells by disrupting bacterial cell membranes.
Aging skin:
- Exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal the newer, brighter layers underneath by acting on the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). Normal, intact stratum corneum consists of tightly packed layers of dead skin cells that are tightly bonded together. Glycolic acid loosens these bonds. With their glue dissolved by glycolic acid, those tough, rough layers of dead skin cells can more easily slough away.
- The small molecular size of glycolic acid allows for deeper penetration in the skin layers where it stimulates fibroblasts to produce increased amounts of collagen. By stimulating collagen production, it helps skin feel firmer and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.

Safety during Pregnancy
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) approves the use of over-the-counter topical creams containing glycolic acid (3). It is deemed safe as a minimal amount of glycolic acid is likely to be absorbed into the bloodstream (4).
It is always advisable to consult your doctor before using products containing glycolic acid during pregnancy.

Zanje Faure Ek gebruik elke dag van my lewe die Dermalytic op ‘n plek waar ek altyd aknee gehad het. Ek was op voorgeskrewe medikasie vir dit, onder baie andere, niks het gewerk nie. Ek het nie meer aknee op daai plek nie. Dis weg. Dis ge”Dermalytic”! Ek gebruik ook elke tweede aand die Retinol Serum, elke aand die Dermavue (loooove dit) om my waterproof makeup effektief af te haal sonder om lashes te verloor, en om my gesig skoon te maak voor ek bad. Die Collagen Serum gebruik ek elke oggend en die verskil in my vel/plooie is indrukwekkend en awesome! DermaNourish laat my vel letterlik gevoed voel. Die Acne Repair Serum gebruik ek elke keer as ek ‘n puisie op my gesig kry, oja en die Dermatint is die best thing since sliced bread. Ek dra nie eers onderlaag nie, net dit, en ek kry altyd komplimente as ek dit aanhet. Dankie dankie dankie vir produkte wat uiteindelik WERK 🙌🏼 #VERLIEF
