Glycolic acid (hydroxyacetic acid), also known as fruit acid or alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). It is a long process in which glycolic acid is extracted from sugar cane. After being extracted from sugar cane, the substance is mixed with beet fruit extracts, grapefruit extracts and other natural fruits and herbs. Aloe vera is also added to moisturize and soothe the skin. When applied, Glycolic Acid Toner penetrates the skin essentially removing dirt from inside the pores, fighting black/white heads, pimples and other damaging skin issues, leaving skin clean with a clear tone, texture and youthful clarity. It also acts as a skin stimulant and exfoliant by removing dead skin cells by penetrating the skin layers and breaking down the glue that holds dead cells and environmental debris in place. Most GA toners have 10% or less glycolic acid due to the fact that too much can eat away at the skin and reverse the benefits of using it. It is important to note that GA toners do not contain alcohol, so they are safe to use on dry or sensitive skin.

When shopping for a glycolic acid toner, remember that even the most expensive toner contains the same ingredients as the cheapest version. Be sure to compare ingredients to double check as a safety precaution. However, it is widely expressed that using a budget version will give you the same results as the major brands. By doing this you will save a ton of money and still be able to sport a youthful, smooth, firm and glowing facial complexion.
