Mechanism of Action

Glycolic acid as an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) is a natural water-soluble acid derived from fruits and plants. AHAs have excellent exfoliant and keratolytic prop- erties and help to remove the top layers of dead skin cells. Glycolic acid is the smallest and most potent AHA and penetrates the skin more effectively. Glycolic acid exhibits a strong pH-dependent antibacterial activity by disrupting bacterial cell membranes. Glycolic acid is also a humectant.
Boric Acid is a weak acid with acidifying and astringent (drying) effect. It has also been shown to be effective against Malassezia infections.
Ceramides provide a healthy protective epidermal barrier as they play a role in nomal barrier function and dermis cell organization.
