Here is a breakdown of your most frequently asked questions about Glycolic Acid, prepare to fall in love!
 
So what is Glycolic Acid?
Glycolic Acid is a type of Alpha-hydroxy acid (otherwise known as an AHA) which is derived from sugar cane. Out of all the AHA's, it is the smallest structure, and the simplest, making it easy to penetrate your skin deeply and be super effective! 
 
What does Glycolic Acid do?
Glycolic Acid's primary superpower is to exfoliate your skin. It helps do so by shedding dead skin cells and revealing newer, brighter laters underneath. This is done by loosening the bonds between your skin cells, making it easy to increase cell turn over and reveal fresh and radiant skin.
 
What results can I expect to see? 
One of Glycolic Acid's defining features, which makes it one of Beauty Connections best-selling active ingredients, is that you will start to see results within a matter of days. By stimulating collagen production, it will help boost skins radiance, make your skin feel firmer as well as dramatically reducing fine lines and wrinkles - leaving you with a smooth and even complexion. Additionally, this little quiet achiever will also target pimples and fade discolouration - sounds like heaven in a bottle!

Can any skin type use it?
Glycolic acid is safe to use on any skin type, however, it works best with normal, combination and oily skin types. If you have dry on highly sensitive skin we would recommend starting with NIP+FAB's lower concentrate Glycolic Acid range.
 
How should I introduce Glycolic Acid into my skincare routine?
As with any exfoliant, it is best to start small (especially if you have sensitive skin). We would recommend beginning with the iconic NIP+FAB Glycolic Fix Daily pads - prepare to instantly see smoother, more glowing skin!
