Description
A powerful alpha hydroxy acid that removes dead skin cells from the surface, revealing smoother and brighter skin underneath. It's widely used in chemical peels and anti-aging products to improve skin texture and reduce fine lines. Due to its potent exfoliating properties, it can cause irritation and increases sun sensitivity, so gradual introduction and sunscreen use are essential.
